"The shuddering inducing and cliched, however totally false account of how I lost my virginity to a guy at a community college. Let me just begin by saying there are two sides to every story, and this is my side, the right one."
The first time I saw this uproarious movie I absolutely loved Emma stones character, Olive. I completely love her sarcasm and witty humor. I think the story touched perfectly on the ups and downs of high school life as well as life in general. The movie starts out with olive desperately trying to get out of a camping trip with her best friend Rhiannon (Alyson Michalka) and her nicely put abnormal parents. She starts a little white lie saying she has a weekend date with an imaginary guy from a community college, and can't make the trip. That small lie took the high school course through the rumor mill and soon every one is talking about olive's adulteress ways, but instead of trying to stay below the radar, olive takes on the promiscuous role that the rumors make her out to be. She takes in all of the attention that the student body is giving her and uses it to help out mistreated and bullied students by having a pretend relationship with them. Her reputation to soon takes a downward spin to a new level of lewdness. The more she helps her classmates the more tangled she gets in the lies. Olive has to detangle her web on her own before her acuser, marinne (Amanda Bynes.) gets her expelled from school and all of her lies keeps her from her own happieness. Olive penderghast the virgin student went from being anonymous to being the most depended on and the most hated girl in school. This movie plays lightly off of the book the scarlet letter... "now isn't that always the way, the books you read in class always have some strong connection with whatever antistatic drama that's going on...". the scarlet letter is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorn and is about a girl, Hester prynne who is accused and harshly judged by her neighbors claiming her as an adulterer and is forced to wear an A on her attire for adultery. olive embraces this A and uses it to her advantage to make herself more known. "If google earth were a guy he couldnt find me if i was dressed up as a ten story building." I have to admit after watching this in theaters i bought it the very day it came out on dvd and watched it all the time. if you have missed out on watching easy A i highly recomend that you go to the nearest wallmart, or get on your netflix and buy it! thanks for reading!
