Easy A (2010)
This teen comedy stars Emma Stone and includes support from Amanda Bynes, Thomas Haden Church and Lisa Kudrow. A girl at high school lies and gets a reputation for sleeping around, she enjoys the attention she starts getting.
Female sexuality is a good starting point for a film and sadly how women are treated based on perceived sexuality is still a relevant issue but I am not sure this film ever really hits the nail on the head. Emma Stone is very good in the lead role and there are some good comedic moments but in the end it does feel like the film wasted a good opportunity to be something really good. The film has a number of references to John Hughes films and it is easy to see how it fits into that tradition of film making.
3/5 could have been much more
