In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing EASY A (2010). The film, directed by Will Gluck with a screenplay credit to Bert V. Royal, tells the story of Olive (Emma Stone), an ordinary high school teen who just blended in. After being asked to participate in a small lie that turns into a rumor that just keeps going, our heroine must make some tough choices as her story and choices have come to ultimately impact more than just Olive. Decent writing and performances make this an enjoyable watch although there are references to teen sexuality, strong language and drugs. The film has a run time of 1 h 32 m, is rated PG-13 and is currently streaming on Hulu. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
