Review: Easy A

Easy A (2010)

Director Will Gluck

Ok so i didn't mean to do this but the next film i watched has happend to be Will Glucks 2nd film as a director, after Fired Up, and it is somewhat of an improvement. Emma Stone (Superbad, Zombieland) stars as a self aware high school student who goes from nothing to the talk of the film after a vert naughty lie, ending with her having a reputation as the school slut. Gluck seems to have learnt from Fired Up that you need laughs all the way through a comedy but the film does benefit from a much better cast with stand out performances from Stanly Tucci (Devil Wears Prada, The Lovely Bones) and Amanda Byrnes (She's The Man) as a bitchey church person. I must say that this isnt the first time that i've seen Easy A and it still manages to make me laugh in patches but the problem is there is no stand out scenes in the film so you come out of it feeling that you perhaps been short changed in terms of (i dont want to use this term but i shall) Lol'ing :/ Still the heart of the film is Emma Stones superb performance which has pretty much cememnted her a leading lady material and showing her to be the potential new top girl in Hollywood!!

6 out of 10
