Review of Easy A (2010) by Jason P — 23 Jul 2012

I think my expectations were too high. Stone is excellent, and her performance gives the film a half to whole star by itself. I think I have a crush on her now. But without her, this is a film with the same tired jokes and rehashed plot of most other teen sexuality movies.

Also, I'm really tired of Hollywood ALWAYS portraying evangelical Christians as shallow, hypocritical buffoons. It's been done, man. Pick on someone else for a change. Don't get me wrong, I have my own issues with evangelical Christianity.

But in a film filled with stereotypes, Marianne's character (and her pals) are like stereotypes of stereotypes. Enough already. But let's definitely see more of Emma stone :).
