The key to Easy A's success is without doubt Emma Stone, who has this incredible wit and intelligence that runs so thickly through her dialog. Plus, she is supported by a great cast, including Stanley Tucci as one half of her very eccentric but totally likeable parents.
The overall idea behind the plot is an interesting one, and I love the way that it plays on High School gossip. However, it's hard not to question how the other pupils would have reacted to the gossip is the lead character had not been played by Emma Stone, or anyone to Hollywood's standards of "socially awkward". To be blunt, Stone's character is too fast-witted to be truly socially awkward, plus the fact that she's actually really hot kinda detracts a great deal of believability. Had she been "ugly", there is no way that things would have panned out the way that they did.
Despite that, it's still a fun film that shouldn't be taken too seriously, because Emma Stone certainly doesn't.
A great Sunday afternoon film, that you will probably enjoy, laugh a little and appreciate for exactly what it is: a superficial but entertaining film.
The difference between a quick review and a normal review is really just that quick reviews are for films that have been out for some time, but not long enough for us to consider "vintage" (which we class as being over ten years old) whilst normal reviews are for films that we've just seen at the Cinema.
Quick Reviews don't include all the general information, such as cast, crew and synopsis. Instead, we just get straight to the point in saying what we think.
