Easy A

Olive is a smart, sarcastic high schooler whose ordinary life flips when she decides to exploit the school rumor mill to improve her social standing. A small falsehood grows into a wide web of gossip that starts to shape how classmates, teachers, and administrators treat her. With quirky parents at home and a quiet crush providing unexpected support, Olive tries to control the story that's been written about her while pointing out the hypocrisy and double standards swirling around teenage sex and reputation. The film keeps its tone light while letting Olive challenge the labels people slap on one another.

Released in 2010, Easy A was directed by Will Gluck from a screenplay by Bert V. Royal. The film updates classic moral themes for a modern high school setting and leans on pop culture references to reshape familiar material.

Emma Stone earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for her work in the film, which helped raise her profile as a leading comedic performer.

Easy A left a clear mark on teen comedy, thanks largely to Stone's breakout turn and the movie's witty takedown of high school politics. It gets quoted and referenced in pop culture discussions about teen reputations and is often brought up when newer films try to mix satire with coming-of-age beats.

Critics and audiences gave Easy A generally positive marks, reflected in a 6.809/10 vote average from over 7,200 users. Reviewers highlighted the sharp script, the film's self-aware humor, and Stone's easy charisma, while noting the story's focus on rumor, sexual double standards, and the ways small lies can balloon into public spectacle. The tone stays playful, but the themes stick with you.
