Movie Review - Easy A


Yes, I rented this.

B & I were in the mood for something that wouldn't take a lot of brain power.

This movie fits the bill quite nicely.

It could have been good - it could have been great, actually, had the movie focused entirely on the interactions between the main character Olive and her parents, played by the hilarious and engaging Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci.

The dialogue that took place within the family was sharp and funny. Were such wit to exist in the everyday, I would enjoy my life a lot more.

Any of the scenes outside of her family sucked. Lazy dialogue, bad acting, poor plot.

Forgot to add that Thomas Hayden Church was funny in a great dry kinda way. He also upped the likability factor.

Easy A gets a D for likability but a B for achieving what was intended - lazy entertainment for a low-key Tuesday night.
