Leave your thoughts about Easy A.
| Cinema SightWesley LovellA star-making performance by Emma Stone centers this humorous look at rumor mongering and the modern high school experience. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Christopher TookeyEasy A is easily the most entertaining high school comedy since 1999's Ten Things I Hate About You, and the first great teen movie of the 21st century. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinThe film goes for character-based comedy rather than spiky one-liners, so it's the cast's warmth that cements it as a five-star movie. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferSuch an unconventionally smart, funny and delightful teen comedy that it's like a breath of fresh air. It's this year's Mean Girls. |
| New York PostLou LumenickWriter-director Will Gluck has written a stiletto-sharp, zinger-filled script that recalls "Mean Girls" as well as the films of John Hughes, which are sampled to amusing effect in a clever clip montage. |
| New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottA movie that charms its way to being a kind of well-crafted teen touchstone that very well could become to today's generation what "Ferris Bueller" was to teens of the '80s. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Lots of high school-set films beg for a John Hughes comparison, but this one actually earns it. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternWhy, then, am I so pleased with Easy A? Because the movie, despite a few flaws, seems to have been made by higher intelligence, and because it catapults Emma Stone into a higher place reserved for American actors who can handle elevated language with casually dazzling aplomb. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigEasy A not only makes the grade, but it comes in close to 100%. |
| MovielineEric HynesJudged on a curve, set by the testosterone-fueled raunch-a-thons that have dominated teen comedies from "American Pie" to "Superbad" and beyond, Easy A deserves an A+, with extra credit for lack of misogyny, c--- talk, or flatulence. |
