Easy A

 

Easy A

Easy A is a film Iwould defiantly recommend for a girls night it. The chick flick has light romance in it as well as a high comedy rate and the humiliation rate is of the charts. The film is inspired on the book The Scarlett Letter by  Nathaniel Hawthorne.

The film is made to look like a guide of what not to do in high school. The film follows Olive Penderghast, Emma Stone, through a few weeks of her high school life where she goes from being a grade A student to be a grade A “slut”. This all occurs because of a simple lie that turned into a rumour by Marianne Bryant, Amanda Bynes, the schools christian preacher. As the film progresses the lies get bigger and worse. To help her bad reputation stick better she helps one of her old friends, Brandon, who gets bullies for being a homosexual. She pretends to have sex with him so he can seem straight and so that her image can keep going up. Girls start to call her a “slut” and other names, while the boys use her to help build their images as well. later in the film one of the students from Marianne’s christian group gets an STI, from a teacher, and he blames Olive. She decides to help the teacher, Mrs Griffith played by Lisa Kudrow, out and keep the lie so that Mrs Griffith can keep her job. She starts to feel really depressed that everybody was using her but hadn’t actually asked her out on a date. While contemplating that thought a guy from one of her classes asks her out on a date. when the get to the restaurant Olive has to leave because her best friend is sitting a few tables away, while Olive is sitting with her best friends crush. After leaving the restaurant the guy tries to pay her off while forcing himself on her, thinking that she was actually a “slut” and that she was really having sex with everyone that had said. Todd, Olive’s crush, takes her home as he had just finished his shift at the restaurant. He tells her about how he likes her and how he doesn’t believe any of the rumour that were going around the school. Olive decides to convince the people she helped the confess that it was all a lie. However everybody that she helped has either left or wont confess. She then decides to make a video that states everything that people have said was a lie and that people were just using her. In the end she starts to date Todd her childhood crush and states that what people had said was a lie as well as none of their bussiness.

I defiantly recommend this film. The soundtrack is also a bonas part that I would recommend. The whole film was entertaining. Here is the trailer, enjoy.
