Easy A

Theatrical Release Poster

Sometimes movies inspire you so much that you just want to talk about them to friends and family to encourage them to go and watch them themselves. Easy A, is unfortunately not one of those movies. I can even say that it was so bad, that I couldn't help but talking about how bad it is.

This movie is the typical bad, worthless, time-wasting, American Teen movies. It was directed, produced and co-written by Will Gluck who who also directed to fairly better Fired Up! (2009).

The main character of the movie, Olive, portrayed by the rather good Emma Stone, talks about her high school life and teenager's sexuality in a tone that strangely reminds me of a mediocre rip-off of the Twilight Saga's Bella Swan. You can see the very well portrayed, very badly written, young teenager's inner voice talking all through the movie.

The plot of the movie is how sometimes innocent lies end up getting spread all over the place and affect your reputation. And the more you try to help people (based on those lies), the deeper you are getting in trouble. It all sounds like little kids story where you have a morality at the end, like a Fable by La Fontaine that would tell you how you shouldn't lie and/or should face problems or they get worse. Another similarity with Twilight is the moralizing speech about sex and STDs, but it also has a quite virulent speech about religion and religious people.

Anyway, if you were planning on watching this movie, I would strongly suggest you don't and find a better way of wasting your time.
