Easy A is about a girl named Olive who tells a white lie and that white lie makes her high school a nightmare. She is laid back and very sarcastic. The movie is directed by Will Cluck and it is out loud funny. Emma stone plays as Olive and she does and outstanding performance. The movie starts out with Olive talking to her computer about and incident at school. This film takes us to her small town high school where the incident occurred. Olive tells her first white lie to her best friend Rhiannon who is played by Alyson Michalka. Because she didn’t want to go camping with Rhiannon and her hippie parents. A white lie turns into another white lie when Olive tells Rhiannon that she lost her virginity. Marianne a gospel loving wait-until-we-get- married virgin who is played by Amanda Bynes over hears. Marianne and her gospel group spread the rumor and like a virus everyone caught it. Olive starts to get in trouble and she is sent to the principle office. Mcdowell who plays as Olive’s principle delivers a great line where he states that being a successful principle involves keeping “the girls off the pole and the guys off the pipe.” Olive’s parents Tucci and Clarkson play non-judgmental parents who have a lot of trust in her. The relationship between Olive, her parents, and adopted African American brother is remarkable and sometimes hilarious. Olive never tries to take advantage of her parents trust. Olive’s relationship with Rhiannon starts to tumble. Olive decides to leave Rhiannon and instead she becomes friends with Brandon who has a hard time dealing with his sexuality. He is constantly bullied by other guys. Brandon asks Olive for help and she comes to his rescue. She pretends to do it with Brandon so people don’t think he’s gay. Olive’s lies took an unpleasant turn and it spread like a wild fire. Easy A is an easy watch. I agree with the critics. It is worth our time and money. I give this movie an A.
