MOVIE REVIEW: EASY A

With the lack of talent that is starting to build up in Hollywood, there is nothing I love more than seeing a star on the rise. Emma Stone is exactly that. She first popped up in the highly popular film, Superbad and she really broke out in last year's Zombieland. Be sure to keep a look out for this girl because she is destined to go far.

In her new film, Easy A, Stone plays Olive, a clean cut high school student who is always under the social radar. After a nasty rumor is spread about her, she decides to rely on rumors to bump up her social life, eventually getting more attention than she can handle.

My favorite thing about Easy A is hands down Emma Stone. She brings an odd and smart style of comedy to the screen that I rarely see. When you watch her performance, you don't see a young immature actress like Lindsay Lohan, you see a smart bright career rising.

Another great thing about the film is it's co-stars. Stanley Tucci, Thomas Hayden Church, Lisa Kudrow, Malcom McDowell and Amanda Bynes all co-star in the film and each one brings something great to the film. Each one brings their own unique sense of humor to the film. Tucci plays the cool dad, Church plays the over enthusiastic teacher, Bynes plays the super christian and McDowell plays the uptight principal. Director, Will Gluck does a great job portraying the different high school groups without doing it in a cheesy cliche way.

Easy A isn't a perfect film, but you get no complaints from me on it. Strong lead, great script and funny co-stars were enough to sell me on it. I give it an eight out of ten.
