Easy A

Comedy, Teen
3.5 stars
Cute but forgettable teen drama that pays homage to the late John Hughes, but isn’t going to become the classic that his films became. Emma Stone (Superbad) stars as a straight-A student who pretends to be a hussy to help her gay friends from being bullied. Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson co-star as her lovable parents and Thomas Haden Church and Lisa Kudrow co-star as teachers at her school. I like that the movie may bring interest to some classic books, and her S.A.T.-type vocabulary may be inspirational for some kids to learn. And then there’s the moral of the story regarding lying. A better than average teen flick.
