Comedy with Emma Stone (Superbad) as Olive – a big nothing at college. It all changes, however, when a white lie about losing her virginity (to help boost the reputation of her even more un-cool friend Dan) sees Olive's clean cut image get a make-over, paralleling Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter – a novel she's studying in school.
Other school nerds jump on the fake-sex bandwagon with Olive and she uses the rumour mill to advance her social and financial standing.
What this high school morality fable really recalls is "Clueless" -- a comedy of very contemporary ill manners drawn from classic literature, an immersion in the young-adult lexicon and a potentially career-making showcase for its lead actress, Emma Stone.
Full reviewEasy A isn't nearly as good a movie as "Clueless," Ms. Heckerling's contemporary pastiche of the Jane Austen novel "Emma." But the one-liner-loaded screenplay has the same insouciant charm.

A sharp teen comedy about a girl who pretends she isn't a virgin boasts a top-notch performance from Emma Stone

It's a funny, engaging comedy that takes the familiar but underrated Emma Stone and makes her, I believe, a star.

A high school romp that turns a stale genre upside down with sly wit and sharp satire.

Arguably the best teen comedy since Clueless, it's easy to give this one an A. Well, A-.
