Easy A

This week I’ve decided to talk about a brand new movie.  “Easy A” just came out this last week starring Emma Stone who plays ‘Olive’.  Admittedly the previews did make the movie look a lot funnier than it really was but it was still good.  There were some parts that didn’t seem like they fit but in the end it all came together.

                Even though the movie was a comedy it really did have a lot of real life type situations in it.  They were a little exaggerated at times but that’s what made it funny.  I don’t think that my High School was as bad as hers but I’m sure that there were some similar situations in it, including a lot of gossip.  The main characters in the movie are played out more realistic than a lot of movie characters.  The parents in the movie are a whole other matter.

                I’m not sure that I have ever heard of parents that are as open as the main characters but they’re one of the funniest parts of the movie.  The conversations that they have almost make them seem like they’re not much more than kids themselves even though they’re older.  Olive’s friends, and enemies, in the movie are almost as out there but in different extremes.  In general all the kids at her school seem like kids that you would find in almost any High School in America.

                In all I’d say that this movie is worth watching.  It might take you back to your own High School days depending on how big your school was.  Or it might just make you wonder where the writers went to school and how they got the character ideas.  Either way you’ll laugh almost all the way through.
