Easy A

Emma Stone is a 25-year-old who smokes 2 packs a day who has a 30-year-old friend and they are, for some reason, still in high school. She’s really funny and attractive, she has the coolest, funniest parents in the world, she’s extremely talented and well-adjusted, but for purposes here and for the sake of a major suspension of disbelief, she can’t get a date. And then, for some reason, Lisa Kudrow gets dropped into the movie like a bomb. Ahh, I’m being nit picky. Easy A is more or less a harmless and enjoyable high school farce painstakingly paying tribute to John Hughes, so much so that he and his movies are referenced numerous times. Stone holds the screen well, but the supporting cast could’ve used a little jolt. It’s a pleasant enough of a movie, but it’s not world-rocking.
