Surely the high-school teen comedy sex romp storyline has been overused (and abused) within films over the years, but Easy A is an exception to the cliché. A witty exploration of the power of gossip and popularity within a high school setting, Easy A is the spring board for upcoming actress Emma Stone, who stars as the sarcastic Olive Penderghast. The hilarious consequences of her little white lie - losing her virginity - are interwoven into a moral tale of discovery and love. Self-depreciating humour and a well-rounded cast of characters make this film a standout of the teen comedy genre.
