8. A Good Girl, A Small Favor and A Big Rumor

Easy A is my number 8 pick for best romantic comedies. Easy A's main star is Emma Stone (Olive Penderghast) and she is accompanied by other cast members such as Penn Badgley (Woodchuck Todd), Amanda Bynes (Marianne), Aly Michalka (Rhiannon), Thomas Haden Church (Mr. Griffith), Patricia Clarkson (Rosemary Penderghast), Cam Gigandet (Micah), Lisa Kudrow (Mrs. Griffith), Stanley Tucci (Dill Penderghast), and many more. The film starts off with Olive talking into a web cam explaining how it's time to tell her side of the story of how her little white lie spiraled out of control. Then we move to Olive talking to her best friend Rhiannon, this is where it all began, about going camping with Rhiannon and her family. Olive finds Rhiannon's family very odd, so she comes up with a little white lie about going out on a date with one of her older brother's friends from college. Instead of actually going out, Olive spends the weekend in her room listening to a card she got with the song Pocket Full of Sunshine in it. She returns to school on Monday with a very anxiously awaiting friend to find out how her date went. Olive comes up with a simple little story and tells her friend she probably won't see him again, and I guess she got the impression that Olive "hooked up" with this guy. As Rhiannon starts asking more intimate details the good Christian girl at the school, Marianne, overheard their conversation in the bathroom and starts spreading this bit of gossip all over the rumor mill. This rumor, like most, started spiraling out of control and word got around that Olive was the new school slut. As Olive grows into her new image, she gets detention around the same time a guy named Brandon does and they talk about how he's a closet gay and that the rumor started about her is just that, a rumor. So, Brandon comes up with a plan to help keep his straight image up and keep her slutty image up as well. They then attend a party and stage a "hook up" to keep the rumors going. Olive thought she was just helping this one friend out and it was a one time deal, but then that all changed.

Brandon then told some of his friends what Olive had done for him and they wanted the same kind of attention. Now all of them weren't gay like Brandon, but they had lady problems. The guy right after Brandon offered to pay her for her fake services and she accepts. Well then another rumored blossomed from this and everyone started to hear Olive was having sex for money, but the only selected few who actually needed her services knew the truth. As time goes by and more and more guys required Olive's services, she decided she had gotten into deep and was ready to get out. One time though a guy actually asked Olive out on a date, or at least Olive thought that's what it was, but in the end he was willing to pay her for sex. This guy thought she was actually sleeping with guys for money so he tried to make a move on her but she pushed him away and he drove off. Then Woodchuck Todd comes to her rescue and gives her a ride home. Olive has been in love with Woodchuck Todd for awhile now and as he drops her off she finds out he's had a crush on her for awhile. Hints the romance in this romantic comedy. After her talk with Todd, she realized it was time to stick up for herself and get out this mess. With the help of Todd and the school band, Olive makes a big impression and got everyone's attention to tune-in to her web cast. Then here at the end we see Olive back in her room giving the web cast and had newly shared her story. Now everyone knows the truth of what happens, and corny enough rides off into the sunset with Todd on an 80's style lawnmower like the movie Can't Buy Me Love.

I absolutely love love love this movie. Emma Stone would have to be one of my favorite actresses and she pulls this movie off without a hitch. It has great comedy with that touch of romance and it's just a feel good movie. There's great chemistry between the whole cast and it's hard to imagine others playing these parts. I highly recommend this movie and advise you to watch it over and over again. Have a great day and enjoy a great movie! Thanks I hope you all enjoyed.
