A throwback to the great 80's comedies

This review is from: Easy A (Amazon Instant Video) This movie was such a great surprise! I'd read the good reviews and wasn't disappointed! The lead actress is great (as is the cast) the humor is smart, the story is timeless, and the music and pop culture references spot on. This is the kind of movie that hollywood no longer tends to make - well written teen comedies that appeal to adults and don't reach for gross jokes to make a point.

Easy A Gets An 'A'

Easy A is a teen comedy that is just as good as those 80's teen comedies. Oh, and Clueless. Actually, it might be better because those movies didn't have a cast that includes Patricia Clarkson, Stanley Tucci, Malcolm McDowell, and Lisa Kudrow. Easy A is clever, funny, and gay-friendly. Emma Stone is great as Olive, as is Amanda Bynes as a "Jesus Freak". And Penn Badgley continues to melt hearts as Olive's love interest. Easy A is one of those rare teen comedies that gets an A!

HONESTY to the core

EASY A is quite simply a modern day adaption of the classic tale THE SCARLET LETTER. A story of a woman who is accused of adultery by her community and forced to wear a scarlet A from that point on. In EASY A, Olive (the fantasticly dry and sharp witted Emma Stone), is the victim of a bathroom conversation in which she tells her friend that nothing happened between her and a college stud, but her friend doesn't believe her and neither does the ease-dropping ears. So when the rumor starts to spread like a viral u-tube video, Olive, the virgin, becomes Olive the promiscuous girl that nobody knew before and now EVERYBODY wants to know.EASY A is about lies and the danger of assumption. It's about how easy it is for reality to become something entirely different and how hard it is to change people's views of what they know the truth to be.The beauty of EASY A is that for a movie about lies, assumptions and skewed truths, the movie is so true to itself, real and honest. Olive's parents Rosemary & Dill (Patricia Clarkson & Stanley Tucci) are absolutely brilliant in their laid back, hippie mentality of being honest and open with their children. Until Olive gets caught up in her domino effect of lies and her new personna with her friends at school, her parents knew everything about her. There were no secrets because they had an open dialogue with her. So when Olive chooses popularity over trying to correct the false rumor about her, she for the first time holds a secret from her friends and parents and we see how lies, secrets and assumptions can destroy even the best of us.EASY A is hilarious in its honesty and among its laughs, in a subtle, quiet way, delivers a poigniant message. Well done from top to bottom.

Easy Awesome

When I went into this film I knew absolutely nothing about it. Well, Iknew it was a teen comedy of sorts so I knew... something.So here we go. To quote Emma Stone "A is for Awesome". She couldn't be any morecorrect with this film. As Will Gluck's second film this really showssome style and ability though there is no doubt that the brilliantscreenplay helped make this film what it is. It's smart, funny and mostimportantly - genuine. It's not been that long since I was in college Iknow how things can spread, insanely fast, and how some people canreally want to fit in.The film starts with Olive (Emma Stone) and her webcast and with abrilliance in the script that continues throughout the whole film, shesays "There are 2 sides to every story. This is my side—the right one."To compress the story we have Olive telling a lie which involves sex toher bff Rhi (Alyson Michalka). A lie that so many people tell in reallife it's no surprise they all end the same way, they bite you in thearse. In no time at all the arse-biting commences and Olive becomes theschools bimbo thanks to one extremely religious puritan (Amanda Bynes)who spreads what she overheard like wildfire.Here we link in with the base theme of the story; "The Scarlet Letter".Olive and the rest of her English Language class are reading it andwith coincidence as subtle as a . It links in so well as it is meantto, after all this is a sort of modern take on the classic.Olive meets Brandon (Dan Byrd) in detention and this is the start ofOlive's downfall. She feels sorry for him and she, as she does withmany other people later in the film, pretends to rock his world. Thishappens with a number of people and eventually the rumours have madethe worst happen. What she thinks is a real date turns out to besomebody who wants to pay for the real thing and the realisation hitsher - everybody thinks she's a whore.The Easy A title and Scarlet Letter links come in not long after theBrandon incident (which was brilliantly funny). Rhi tells Olive thatthe whole school thinks Olive is a "Dirty skank" which annoys her soshe starts to wear... more risqué clothes with a large red A eitherembroidered - in most cases just over her breast.A little more on the script. I can't go on more about how brilliant itis. It's so... genuine. Everything seems so real and so much like whatsomebody would say, even lines like "The Accelerated Velocity ofTerminological Inexactitude" which as Olive explains is her obnoxiousway of saying lies travel fast. I suppose talking like that hits closeto home with me because I can be obnoxious with the use of longer wordsinstead of simplifying. Rhi finds out her identifier are her... sizablebreasts and is so happy about that. Somebody I knew was very much likethat. Marianne is the only one I couldn't particularly see becausewhile I knew religious people I never knew a religious freak who waswilling to condemn me to hell for whatever I did that contradictedtheir beliefs. Even minor character like Evan(Jameson Moss), anoverweight nerd, asks olive and she wants to know why - his line is"look at me".There's a lot more but generally speaking the screenplay is excellentand acting follows in suite with even tiny mannerisms by all thecharacters fitting in perfectly. Emma Stone was perfect, it was a rolei would say designed for her, with her in mind every step of the way.Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci as Olives parents were the liberalparents, offering support when needed but brilliant comedy also whenneeded. Thomas Haden Church was great as Mr. Griffith. No matter whatthe reason was, he sold me as a teacher because he was certainlychannelling my old history teacher. The approachable, enthusiastic andunderstanding. Alyson Michalka sold me as Rhi, a rather vacuous selfcentred girl but still a good friend. Amanda Bynes was great as thepuritanical Christian leader of the school. Lisa Kudrow was even greatin her small part. Not too far from her Phoebe character but it hadsome good moments I didn't expect. Namely when she outright tells Oliveshe's going to screw her over and she knows that people won't evenbelieve the truth if Olive states it simply because she's the GuidanceCouncilor.Really, I could go on forever and then spend another eternity trying toput all this off-the-top-of-my-head review into a perfectly coherentreview but I'll leave it with this.Easy A is the best film of 2010. It doesn't have the effects or bignames of Inception. It doesn't have the thought provoking drama orstory of Shutter Island or Black Swan (or Inception!). It's not even asstylised as Scott Pilgrim. Why is this film the best? Synergy. Everysingle part of this film comes together and makes it my personalfavourite film of 2010.Watch it. Now.

Easy to love

Being a teenage girl is no easy task, believe me. In Jr. High I had aboyfriend and the first thing on young teenage minds is the curiosityif there is sex in the relationship, fun rumors began to spread and itwas one of the worst times in my life. Funny enough, this isn'tsomething that just started when I was a child, or my older sister ormy mother or my grandmother. Girl's reputations have always beenfragile since the beginning of time, even Shakespeare knew when hewrote Much Ado About Nothing. The Scarlet Letter challenged the doubleedged sword of how if a man sleeps with a woman, he's a pimp, a lady'sman, or just simply "the Man". If a woman sleeps with a man, shedoesn't get as kind treatment, we get the names "slut", "whore", or"tramp". No matter how much you know it's the truth that you're notthose names, it hurts. But what if a girl actually took pride in thosenames and love the attention she got, even if it was too rough tohandle? Emma Stone proving that she's leading lady material handlesherself extremely well in this terrific re-imaging of The ScarletLetter for teenagers that will prove to be more positive and everypre-adult lady should watch.Like most high school kids, Olive Penderghast just wants to be popular.So much so that when her best friend, Rhiannon, asks Olive how herweekend went, she decides to whip up a spicy white lie just to makethings interesting. But that minor exaggeration begins to take on alife of its own when it reaches the ears of motor-mouth gossip Jesusfreak Marianne, and in no time the entire student body is abuzz overunassuming Olive's unrepentant weekend of debauchery. Of course not aword of it is true, but that doesn't stop everyone in school fromtalking, and an amused Olive from deciding to go with the flow. Playingthe role of the hussy to the hilt, the girl who used to be invisiblebegins dressing provocatively and turning heads in the hallways. Thestudents aren't the only ones taking notice, either; Olive's Englishteacher, Mr. Griffith, is concerned that the kind of attention she'sreceiving isn't healthy for a developing girl, and his wife, the schoolcounselor, is in full agreement. As Olive takes note of the parallelsbetween her own situation and the plight of the Scarlet Letter heroineHester Prynne, she realizes that she may be able to manipulate hernewfound notoriety to give fellow classmate Brandon's popularity amuch-needed shot in the arm. Olive never thought her little game couldpossibly have any negative effect on anyone but herself, but when looselips start sinking ships all around her, she realizes that it's hightime for the truth to come out.I think this is a very important film for girls because unfortunatelythis generation doesn't read as much as they should, plus as much as Iloved the book The Scarlet Letter, it wouldn't appeal to everyone. Weneed a new update to grab someone's interest and I was really impressedwith the way the cast and crew handled this film. Emma Stone has a lotof charisma, such maturity for a young lady and she carried herself sowell. She even provides comic relief to give the drama little break.Same with Amanda Bynes, almost taking on the character played by MandyMoore in Saved as the "holier than thou" bible thumper who feels thatif you have sex before marriage, your soul is damned. Even Lisa Kudrowdid a great job, as a high school counselor who puts Olive in a badsituation blaming Olive for her crime and you are just in shock andfeel total sympathy for Olive when she realizes that her reputation isdestroying her mentally. Easy A provides great education for both teensand adults(parents or soon to be parents) on how hard it can be to be ateenage girl. I wish that I had a film like this when I was 13 becauseI would have felt a lot better knowing that a lot of girls go throughthe same thing where you feel so hated for doing something that youdidn't do. Easy A is easily one of the year's best films and I'm veryhappy with the way it was handled, very classy, sexy and funny, I wouldhighly recommend it.8/10

A luminous Emma Stone easily A-ces her role as the girl displaying the appliquéd A -- elevating the film to a higher ranking than it probably deserves.

Norman Wilner (2012-05-22 16:01)

It's a movie you can respect in the morning.

Nick Schager (2012-05-22 06:28)

All the self-awareness and saucy banter in the world can't make Easy A consistently funny, nor can the copious snark, tired '80s references, and glib Scarlet Letter parallels that define its story.

Lisa Kennedy (2012-05-18 19:42)

A gem of a turn by Emma Stone as high school student Olive Penderghast makes this tale of a girl, gossip and independence a smart and self-aware hoot in the tradition of the teen flicks of the 1980s.

"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies?"-Olive Penderghast

Easy A is one of those movies that successfully portrait the high school universe, a universe that was magical for some of us, less so for some others. The movie has been receiving many positives reviews and rightfully so. What makes the movie work is without a doubt Emma Stone as Olive Penderghast. Stone was in the movies Superbad, House Bunny, Zombieland and a few others but I think Easy A is be the movie that will truly makes her a star. I always loved Emma and it's great to see her as the lead role in Easy A, she was just a perfect fit for the role and brings a lot to the table. Olive is one of those movie characters I wish I could be friends with. Her lovable, very open-minded and funny parents (Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson) are wonderful and supportive of their daughter. Her little brother doesn't get much screen time but he's funny and charming. Amanda Bynes who usually plays the good girl plays a not-so nice Christian girl, Olive's nemesis Marianne. The cast of characters are funny, likeable and some are very 80's-ish if there is such a thing.Olive Penderghast is a "different" high school student. Yet, everyone can relate to her and she is not so "different". When she lies to her best friend about losing her virginity she doesn't think this little lie is a big deal. The next day it seems the entire school knows what Olive did and treats her like a slut, which she isn't. Olive knows this has gotten out of hands and after hearing some of exaggerated stories about her, she decides that if people are going to treat her like a slut she should act like one, dress and look the part. She then does fake "sexual favors" for boys in exchange of gift cards; boys can say they had some fun with of Olive. The story goes further from there (and I didn't reveal much in case you're wondering) and it really is something that could happen to a high school girl, it's not far from reality and all of Easy A can be seen as realistic which really makes the audience connect. I must add that it was interesting to compare Olive to the character of Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's book The Scarlet Letter.I really liked he 80's tribute part of the movie, good call on that one. In fact, the older and more experienced viewer might get the feel that the Easy A was going for a 1980s John Hughes teenage type of movie and in some ways it is the case. At times it really remembers those classics Hughes movies and captures some of the feel, not completely but very close, as close as it will get today at least. It's certainly nice to have nostalgia in the movie and you better bet that you'll want to be watching some of those classic teenage 1980's comedies again. It's also very clear that Easy A has been highly influenced by those 80's comedies.It would be nice if Easy A would be considered a classic in the future, it deserves to be. I think it has a lot of emotional appeal and is just an overall excellent movie and I believe, one of the highlights of 2010. Easy A gets an A in my book and I strongly encourage you to watch this movie, it's very entertaining and worth your time. I've seen it twice as of writing this and I will no doubt watch it some more once it is released on DVD and Blue-Ray. 5/5.

If Easy A isn't on your must-see list, put it there.

The Scarlet Letter

After reading THE SCARLET LETTER in High School English class, just to see what happens Olive Prendergast decides to spread the untrue news that she has had sex with a guy from the local Community College. She adds a little spice to her story by faking sex with a few of her in-the-closet gay male friends. Before she knows it, she has straight boys knocking down her door and girls picketing her with "Slut" signs. Things get out of hand when a high school hotshot attempts a date rape. Things get even worse when a Bible-thumping idiot on the ten year graduation plan covers his infidelity by telling everyone that Olive gave him an STD. All the knots get unraveled in the end, and everybody lives happily ever after, as might be expected in this fizzy little movie, which is far, far better than it's storyline would suggest. A good deal of the credit for the quality comes from the incredibly talented cast, which features Lisa Kudrow, Stanley Tucci, Amanda Bynes, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Hayden Church, Malcolm MacDowell, and Emma Stone, who received a Golden Globe nomination for this role. Emma, who has a very strong resemblance to Lindsay Lohan B.T. (Before Trainwreck) is somebody we will be seeing again, hopefully often. As the quick-witted Olive, Emma entertains everybody involved in this film, including the audience, the cast and crew, and even, most impressively, herself, as she enjoys Oliving her way through the story.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

It's one of the best comedies about adolescence since Juno

In a high school in Ojai California, Olive (Emma Stone) is looking tofind a way out of her friend Rhiannon's camping trip. She makes up astory about how she has a date with a guy named George. After theweekend, Rhiannon keeps pestering her about what happened. Olivedecides to tell her what she wants to hear and says that she slept withthe boy. The story is overheard by a Marianne (Amanda Bynes), asensitive Christian girl who decides to tell everyone at school as ameans of condemning Olive's behaviour. For the first time in herschooling life, Olive starts to attract more male attention than everbefore. Her parents Rosemary (Patricia Clarkson) and Dill (StanleyTucci) are unfazed by any stories, but her teacher Mr. Griffith (ThomasHaden Church) is more skeptical about the way she is playing up to therumours. Since she is studying the novel "The Scarlet Letter" in herclass she uses the text as an excuse for her changing behaviour, sayingshe is trying to move closer towards the story. As the rumours start toescalate, more guys try to become more involved with Olive, if only toimprove their own reputations and she uses this not only for her ownsocial gains but to help out her friends as well.It's easy to be skeptical when another American teenage comedy arrives,seemingly ready to offer the derivative coming of age and rite ofpassage stories again. But Easy A, just the second film by directorWill Gluck, is a very pleasant surprise. This is a thoroughly enjoyableromantic comedy that refuses to treat its target audience like they arethe lowest common denominator. The lack of gross-out gags is refreshingbut it's most impressive how the film is willing to intelligentlyconsider ideas of conformity and image. The screenplay here has beensharply refined by Bert V. Royal and the messages are honest ones.Sometimes it's the truth, or more likely people's perceptions of whatis true, that can be the most damaging. It's an issue rather poignantlydisplayed in scenes where Olive is begged by her male friends to buildtheir reputations so they won't be hassled. Her gay friend is regularlypained by people knowing about his preferences and in one of the film'sfunniest scenes Olive attends at party with him to make some noiseabout it. There are as many honest moments as there are silly ones andthe film is regularly sparked by genuinely funny dialogue. WhenMarianne tries to interrogate Olive and asks her if she bothered to useprotection, she briskly fires back "your parents didn't". Blisteringone-liners aside, it is also surprising how many literary referencesthere are. The film has in-jokes relating to not only "The ScarletLetter", but also the poet Sylvia Plath and Mark Twain's "Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn". They work well to strengthen the ideas ofconformity.Emma Stone has had small roles in films like Zombieland (2009),Superbad (2007) and Ghost of Girlfriends Past (2009). Her performanceas Olive is so complete here that in time she will almost certainly begiven more opportunities to carry comedies by herself. The quality ofthe script is a great asset for her. She has a lot of fun with thedialogue and it makes her more engaging and sympathetic as the storygrows darker. Both the film and Olive progress so that she graduallylearns about the repercussions of her actions. Whereas a lot ofcomedies rely on a single joke, this film develops and there arecertainly some surprises towards the end and more vulnerable momentsfor Olive. It is encouraging to see a young female character that isfunny, smart and compassionate in a film like this. One suspects thatStone and Gluck have a great relationship, given the quality of herperformance and also because they are making another film together nextyear. The only doubt surrounding Olive is whether a girl like thiswould really be so initially unpopular. There are a lot of other funsupporting characters here too. Stanley Tucci and Christina Applegatein particular are far too awesome to be anyone's real parents but theybring so much humour to their scenes that it really doesn't matter. Asthe overbearing Christian, some might find that Amanda Bynes' characterborders on being a caricature but it's still performed for laughs, withtongue firmly in cheek, as opposed to supporting an anti-Christianmessage.Easy A should not be disregarded as just a generic teen film. Thethoughtful concerns for conformity and the influence of language andcommunication today grant the film universal appeal. It is significantthat so much of the material here is humorously performed by the entirecast. They all relish a frequently witty script, particularly EmmaStone, who gives a very charming, winning performance. As the directortoo, Will Gluck has proved that teenage comedies do not have to limittheir sophistication or intelligence to be a success. It's one of thebest comedies about adolescence since Juno.

Matthew Turner (2012-05-16 03:55)

Enjoyable, frequently funny teen comedy with a witty script, great characters and an utterly charming central performance from Emma Stone.

I Loved this Film and Emma Stone

In California, the virgin student Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) feelsanonymous in the high school where she studies. When her best friendRhiannon (Alyson Michalka) invites her to spend the weekend with herfamily, Olive lies and tells that she will have a date with anonexistent community college student. On the next Monday, Rhiannongoes to the bathroom with Olive and asks how her encounter was andOlive lies, telling that she lost her virginity in the weekend with herfictitious boyfriend. However, one school mate overhears theirconversation and spreads the rumor about Olive's promiscuity. Thereligious fanatic Marianne (Amanda Bynes) blames her and out of theblue. Olive becomes a notorious student. Meanwhile, Olive is studying "The Scarlet Letter" in the English classand she identifies herself like Hester Prynne, the woman condemned byher Puritan neighbors in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel. Olive disclosesthe truth to her bullied gay friend Brandon (Dan Byrd) and suggests himto also lie that he had slept with a girl. Brandon asks Olive to helphim and she pretends to have sex with him in a party. Then otheroutcast boys offer to pay Olive to improve their images while Olive'sreputation degrades. When Olive loses control of the situation, sheneeds to take an attitude to revert it."Easy A" is a delightful comedy about an average teenager that is onthe spot of her high school mates after telling a lie about anencounter with a fictitious boyfriend. The plot has flaws and someattitudes of Olive are unreasonable. Despite this remark, I loved thisfilm, mainly because the sensual Emma Stone and her sexy voice. My voteis seven.Title (Brazil): "A Mentira" ("The Lie")

Easy A: 8/10

While Easy A has a cliché plot, it still benefits from its smart scriptand charming performance from Emma Stone. The film has a plot that isso cliché that whenever Hollywood makes a movie about it, people justtend to overlook it. Unfortunately, people also overlooked thisparticular film. Easy is not just another Hollywood cliché, it has ascript that is fresh and it has a lead that is charming. Rhiannon is atypical school girl who is not that popular. So she's going aroundspreading rumours about herself: that she slept with a college guy andalmost the whole school. While all this is fake, guys are going up toher asking her to spread rumours that she slept with them (in exchangefor a gift card to Target.) Although Easy A isn't as funny as it shouldbe, it still manages to entertain me with its amazing (and hot!) EmmaStone.…

Sean Means (2012-05-07 22:51)

It?s easy to love "Easy A," a funny and sweet updating of the high-school comedy genre ? as if Diablo Cody wrote a John Hughes movie.

MovieGuy109 (2012-05-07 08:22)

Smart and funny with good performances

Though I have never been very impressed by director John Hughes, muchless the Hughes parody films, I found myself engaged and evenenthralled by Will Gluck's Easy A. The premise is intelligent in thefact that it takes Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter as itsliterary and character template. Gluck than combines this with JohnHughes parody to create this original, even provocative film. The linesand dialogue are conveyed well by Stone and Bynes scores a hit as asnotty church girl with a lot of hang-ups. I was surprised to find thatI had no hang-ups with this teen comedy that is actually worth seeingor even a second viewing.

This is an Easy "B"

*** out of (****)Easy A, advertised as another paint-by-numbers, textbook high schooldrama extravaganza with little redemption and originality and wherestyle tops substance. Emma Stone as the lead looked very unconvincingas she hasn't been the lead in any of her films and no one couldreplace Lindsay Lohan in the iconic "Mean Girls". After seeing thisfilm get critically acclaimed and praised, I ventured off to see it ona late Friday night. To my surprise, Easy A is one of those rare highschool flicks that is just so effective and is heavily devoid ofclichés, predictability, and dry characters. Pretty much every otherhigh school flick has been pretty subpar, with the exception of "MeanGirls". While Easy A is certainly not one of the best films of theyear, it's worth the hefty admission. With so many soulless and energydrained flicks that are only worth a fraction of what you spend on amovie ticket, Easy A is worth all your ten bucks. Easy A, which bares some resemblance to the notorious "The ScarletLetter", the film even heavily references it, revolves around Olive whofeels invisible to everyone at high school. Olive talks to her friendin the bathroom about a guy Olive "dated" and her friend thinks thatOlive lost her virginity to the guy. To compromise with her friend,Olive decides to lie about losing her V-card, although, Olive's pastChristian fanatic friend overhears them in the bathroom and Olive's lieis inevitably being spread. After this mishap, Olive's homosexualfriend asks Olive to moan and make suggestive sounds in a room, whereeveryone hears, so that people think they have sex, which they don't.Olive agrees to it and now all the nerdy, outcast guys are asking Oliveto do the same favor, and rather than neglect it, she milks theattention she's getting. What she doesn't know, is that actingpromiscuous can give some guys the wrong idea.First off, a majority of "Easy A" works because of its script. There isso much wit, references, and dry-pan humor, that this script isprobably one of the freshest scripts of the year. Most typical highschool films have a mediocre script which heavily references popculture and expects the audience to play along. "Easy A" has a few morebrain cells and rather takes the road less traveled by. Furthermore,the characters in this movie are very likable and fulfill their duties.Emma Stone's performance is so charismatic and fulfilling, if Lohanwere to retire a potential "Mean Girls" sequel, the audience would haveno complaints about Stone filling in. Actually, in some ways, Stonetops Lohan's delivery. Moreover, the pacing is also highly effective.Scenes go by pretty briskly, without the film feeling too short either.Additionally, the cinematography is pretty much eye candy. This filmlooks very vibrant and the colors jump off of the screen. It'sdefinitely the epitome of a high school flick. While "Easy A" soars, there are a few problems. Firstly, the middlekind of sags and almost brings the charismatic outing down. Theaudience is introduced to a more serious tone and this hurts the film'sharmless atmosphere and feels awfully depressing. Furthermore, whilethe film is pretty much devoid of predictability, the resolution ishighly predictable, which is passable considering the rest of the filmis pretty unique. Lastly, I found that some of the jokes were hit andmiss. For a comedy, the jokes didn't pack that much of a punch, butthen again, it takes a lot for me to laugh. However, that's acceptablebecause the humor doesn't resort to cheap gags or schoolyard puns,instead it relies on witty delivery. Don't let the director credits fool you. This film may have beendirected by the same man that gave us the mediocrity "Fired Up", butGluck has vastly improved. "Easy A" is a wholly effective comedybecause it relies on an enthralling script, solid characterdevelopment, and a smooth pace. All the elements of a well-made filmare here and for once in a blue moon, you can seal your brains on. Hasthere been a film that looks "copy-and-paste" but turns out to be thecomplete opposite and is worth every cent you spend? "Easy A" is apretty good example of that. I recommend it.
