Easy A [Blu-ray]

Easy A [Blu-ray] by Sony Pictures

Easy A is a frothy, fizzy, and funny romantic comedy for teens--and adults will like it too. Not on account that Clueless has a high-school heroine been in a position to please both target audiences, and Easy A's Olive (the sparkling Emma Stone) is a stellar younger superstar. But Easy A benefits from a great script via author Bert V. Royal and warranted path by way of TV veteran Will Gluck. Olive is a smart woman happy to stay in the shadows of highschool, unless her good buddy, Brandon (Dan Byrd), who's gay, begs her to fake to have sex with him so the remainder of the school will stop picking on him. She obliges, but soon she chooses up not one but two popularitys--as the lady who sleeps around, and, on the down-low, as the woman who'll faux to sleep with a guy so he won't be branded a virgin. Soon Easy A's complications pile up larger than the entrance of Olive's highschool, and her two story lines, neither of which reflects the actual Olive, tackle lives of their own. There are backlashes and blacklists and repercussions galore. "I at all times thought pretending to lose my virginity would really feel a bit more special," muses Olive. "Judy Blume will have to have prepared me for that." Stone is accompanied through a robust supporting cast: Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson as her bemused folks, Gossip Girl's dreamy Penn Badgley, the freshly unretired Amanda Bynes, Thomas Haden Church, Lisa Kudrow, and Malcolm McDowell. And it is to the cast's and the writer's credit that the audience is saved engaged, and guessing, till the very end. Easy A will have to be awarded precisely that. --A.T.. Read more Easy A [Blu-ray]
