Easy A (2010)

I'd marry her tomorrow ;-)
One of the best 'adult teen comedies' since the classic black humor of Alexander Paynes 'Election'.The superb Emma Stone plays Olive, a clean cut girl who's little white lie about losing her virginity lands her the label of an "easy A", or school slut to be more blunt.

This really is Emma Stone's movie, she is in it just about every one of it's 92 minutes running time, and is utterly charming, funny and sweet, the rest of the cast is just as engaging, Lisa Kudrow, Thomas Haden Church, Malcolm McDowell as Head Teacher, one of the films of the year for me and one of the best 'teen comedies' for some time.

"This is public school. If I can keep the girls off the pole and the boys off the pipe, I get a bonus."
