Easy A, starring Emma Stone, is a fun and funny movie that I greatly enjoyed, and not just due to my undying love for Emma Stone (though I’m sure that helped). The movie centers on Olive (Emma Stone), an intelligent and quick-witted teen who makes up a small lie about losing her virginity. As things often go in movies such as this (and in real high schools all over the country) the tale becomes greatly conflated and Emma, once anything but popular, becomes the talk of the school in this clever retelling of Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter (a reference that the movie does not let you miss). And then, as one would expect, drama ensues.
