Connor Macgregor Reviews....Easy A
Teen Comedies aren`t rarely that good these days. They are usually cliches of older Teen Films. But here comes along something fresh and exciting and certainly made me put a smile on my face.
After a little white lie about losing her virginity gets out, a clean cut high school girl sees her life paralleling Hester Prynne's in "The Scarlet Letter," which she is currently studying in school - until she decides to use the rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing.
I go in expecting a fun enjoyable teen film. But i got bigger , longer and more uncut material. All this and the budget was 8 million dollars. What a way to use less known actors and actresses and turn them into overnight sensations. Easy A is a risque but heartwarming comedy with characters you can actually like not throw stuff at.
You have Emma Stone who is this generation`s Molly Ringwald in a way. The Ginger Hair , The Tomboy attitude and The Sarcastic Humour that is always great to watch. After this film , Emma Stone will have a bigger and brighter future ahead of her with more bolder possibilities. There is also Amanda Bynes who has had a mixed career so far and even announced her retirement after Easy A. However her performance in this film was really good and may have bought herself a second chance in the acting ring. Penn Badgley is always good i think. I like him in Gossip Girl and i like him in this. He is a underrated actor by far. Dan Byrd and Ali Michalka are good but wanted to see more of them.
We then move to the older performers of the film. Lisa Kudrow was good , but i didn`t warm to her so much after her twist. I think they may have ruined the character slightly. Malcolm Mcdowell i didn`t like that much either. However i thought Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci were great parents in the film. So likeable and full of life. I would love to have them as screen parents.
Overall , My favourite film of the year and the 2nd best teen film i have ever seen.
Rating - 100% - A+
