Critics Consensus

It owes a huge debt to older (and better) teen comedies, but Easy A proves a smart, witty showcase for its irresistibly charming star, Emma Stone.

The film is a contemporary reimagining of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter; its sassy spirit evokes Clueless.

While Easy A might not be remembered ten years from now like such films as Pretty in Pink, Pretty Woman, and Boomerang, but it's still a refreshing addition to today's genre.

Like Natasha Bedingfield’s “Pocketful of Sunshine” within it, the more you experience Easy A the more enjoyable it gets.

Rewatching Easy A today is a reminder of how enduring this take on the teen rom-com is, and why so many of its actors have become stars.

Easy A is a timeless teen classic worth its weight of scarlet letters stretched across your chest.

by far one of my favorite movies, it’s one of my comfort movies. the acting, the actors, the humor i would say is dry, sarcastic, possibly dark, which is my favorite, were all great.

Easy A will not get an easy A, and it certainly wasn't an easy watch...

It's a good comedy. I've seen it maybe 3 times since it came out. The whole cast is great, with some good laughs. The connection to the scarlet letter and Emma wearing a corset in high school with the letter "A" is clever. If you don't mind teen movies, this is a must see.

Pretty amusing teen/high-school comedy that flies a bit under the radar. Stone's performance is great, and most of the jokes stick the landing. I think some parts get a little unfocused/strange towards the last third (goes into some religious stuff), but overall it's tightly paced and doesn't overstay its welcome. I feel it is the perfect runtime.

This movie is inspired by the novel The Scarlet letter. Emma received a Golden globe nomination for best actress in a comedy or musical. The film won the critic choice award for best comedy. The flick is ranked as number 14 on entertainment weekly 2021 list of best high school movies. Easy A is Amanda bynes last movie. Amanda decided to quit acting at the age of 24 because she was dissatisfied with her performance in the film. Emma Stone plays Olive the whole movie is narrated through her on her webcam. Mostly guys are the ones that embellish there experiences on dates with their fellow dudes. But in this film the female is the protagonist & she's the one who is being dishonest to her friends she's out with a college dude when honestly she's home singing one hit wonders. She starts by lying to her friends, when the story gets out it spreads like wildfire all over the school. She decides to embrace her bad rep. She even stitches a red A on her new dare to be different wardrobe.
