Easy A (2010)

Genre: Comedy

Average Netflix Rating: 3.9 Stars

Synopsis: High school is the setting for this freewheeling comedic twist on Nathaniel Hawthorne's 19th-century novel The Scarlet Letter. Ambitious student Olive (Emma Stone) decides to boost her popularity by pretending to be the school slut. As the school's swirling rumor mill increases both her notoriety and her finances, Olive enjoys her newfound status but eventually must decide which is more important: popularity or self-esteem.

You know you've got something special when a teen sex movie wins "Best Comedy" at the Critics Choice Awards... Easily my favorite movie of 2010. Everything about this movie is sheer perfection. The writing, the acting, the comedic timing. I have NOTHING bad to say about this film. It takes everything you love about the teen sex comedy and turns it around, taking every teen movie cliche and either acknowledging it's cliche-ness or taking that cliche and turning it into something that feels totally fresh. Who would have ever thought of taking The Scarlet Letter and turning it into a teen sex comedy??? Pure genius. The movie is 100% carried by Emma Stone, her delivery and understanding of comedy is what elevates this above the average comedy... I have a hard time with comedies, I just simply don't laugh (I still haven't seen THE HANGOVER" but I laughed non- stop from beginning till end... From smart innuendo jokes, to great one line zingers, to watching a family guess the word TWAT by spelling it out in peas , it's an absolute riot. You can feel how much the makers of this film cherished the seminal teen films of the 80s...

Where should you put this in your Q? Don't... Go out and buy it - actually go out a buy a blu-ray player so you can buy this on blu-ray and enjoy it in its best quality...
