You will probably say that you've seen a lot of teen comedy flicks already; you've seen one and you've seen them all. You know, the kind of film that depicts the usual stereotypes and teenage angst and the whole high school experience that John Hughes had popularized in the '80s ( and who got a special mention in this movie).
But you gotta see Easy A,about a sympathetic "nobody" (played naturally by Emma Stone) whose social status instantly sky-rocketed because of a lie. It is hilarious, and when I say hilarious, it is hilarious. The cast is fantastic, which includes Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson as the parents of our heroine, and other well-loved and well-known talented comedians. The screenplay is intelligent and engaging, with a wildly witty dialogue that has references to classic literature and modern-day culture, filled with rich, vibrant characters who are your usual everyday people but represented with depth (yeah, with depth, unlike the cast of Glee). All in all, Easy A is a comedy with a kind of humor that ranks high above other comedy flicks.Easy A delivers a lot of gut-laughter and has the "repeatability element." Yeah, I might see it again. Yes I will.
