Most moviegoers know Emma Stone from the movie, ‘Super Bad.’ Now she debuts her starring role as Olive Penderghast in the movie ‘Easy A.’

The movie tells the story of the consequences Olive faces when telling a lie about sleeping with a boy in college. The movie also stars Oscar-nominees Patricia Clarkson and Thomas Haden Church, Lisa Kudrow, Amanda Bynes, Penn Badgley and Alyson Michalka.

The film starts off with Olive (Stone) telling her best friend Rhiannon (Michalka) a lie about going on a date and losing her virginity. Soon after, she discovers that Marianne Bryant (Bynes) overhears her conversation and begins to spread rumors around the school.

Instead of defending herself being called a whore, she embraces her new identity by becoming the modern day Hester Prynne, from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter, and sows a red A on her clothes. She offers to have fake sex with nerds, so that they won’t get bullied and can get girlfriends.

Throughout the movie, her identity is spirals downhill. Only her love interest (Badgley) offers to help her get her life back together.

‘Easy A’ has sarcasm and comedy that grabs you in the first five minutes. The characters funny, even Olive’s parents in the film. The movie will also remind its viewers of being in high school and allow them to relate and even show sympathy for the character Olive.

If you want to see a teen comedy, satirical actors and a typical happy ending, this is the movie.

Rating: B-
