As for Emma Stone, she didn't have to win me over. She conquered me from the first A.
Easy A belongs in the company of Election, Heathers, and Mean Girls -- all motion pictures that have outlived their theatrical lives because they have unique voices and use them to say something.
Any movie that quotes Mark Twain, excerpts John Hughes and employs a singeing British cussword normally unheard in PG-13 high school comedies - that's all right, too. More than all right. Easy A might not ace it, but it scores a solid B.
An extremely witty, inventive, sweet and perceptive coming-out party for Emma Stone.
A gem of a turn by Emma Stone as high school student Olive Penderghast makes this tale of a girl, gossip and independence a smart and self-aware hoot in the tradition of the teen flicks of the 1980s.
Enhanced by a wicked sense of humor, Will Gluck's movie does what Hughes did best, showcasing characters with personality who make you wish you had them on speed dial.
This is the film where Stone really established herself not only as a star but as an engaging and charismatic actress
A star-making performance by Emma Stone centers this humorous look at rumor mongering and the modern high school experience.
Stone has a glittering career as a leading lady ahead of her.
A "B" for effort and "C+" for execution.
It does get by on lively energy, a creativity in its writing, and a star turn by Stone.
There's no reliance on gross out moments to sustain interest and it's genuinely funny with a lively script and a supporting cast of excellent adults.
Easy A passes due to Stone's star turn and a knowing screenplay that needed a little more bravery to elevate it to a top achievement.
Emma Stone gets her best role to date in Easy A, a smart high-school comedy that recalls Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You in its witty contemporary spin to a literary classic.
Si la película no es una pérdida de tiempo es, en primer lugar, gracias al talento cómico de Emma Stone y a una serie de referencias a la cultura pop capaces de generar empatía en el espectador.
One of the most smug and obnoxiously self-aware films I've ever seen...
feminist variation on a literary classic which triumphantly announces that in the 21st Century it's a woman's prerogative to be the town tramp if she darn well wants to.
With whip-smart dialog and an interesting premise, along with homages to the legendary John Hughes (who would be proud of this film), this high school sex comedy is way above average for this lowly movie genre.
Ungainly but fleet, generous and, in between quips, alert to youthful discovery
"At the screening I was at, a youngish chap slouching next to me asked his friend: 'remind me why we're watching this'. 'For the girls,' was the reply. For Emma Stone, to be precise.
Stone elevates the material to the near sublime in its best moments.
A high-school comedy that comes on both sassy and cute.
The set-up is ridiculous, but the overall message about self-respect is reassuringly old-fashioned -- that it's always better for people to decide for themselves who they want to be.
Stone is so winning in a star-is-born performance that you happily sit back and enjoy.
Like an insecure teen, this is a film that has no confidence in what it really has going for it, and instead projects an unnecessary air of false bravado.
