As always some excellent observations, and I look forward to your 2011 thoughts!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13600990166210022027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545661733980837263.post-84565283246820871142011-02-27T15:57:10.955-08:002011-02-27T15:57:10.955-08:00Emma Stone was radiant in that movie and she is no...Emma Stone was radiant in that movie and she is no doubt going to be a splendid actress, but I found <i>Easy A</i> to be more disturbing than hilarious. I didn't find the subject matter to be particularly funny: it's basically about a girl who is degrading herself and pretending to prostitute herself, and--at least, in my opinion--that kind of material would have been more suited to an indie drama, rather than to a dumbed-down teenage comedy. It reminded me of <i>Blue Car</i> (2002), another movie about a teenage girl on the verge of sexual awakening who begins fantasizing about her English teacher. And compared to that film, <i>Easy A</i> felt so <i>limited</i>. <br /><br />It had some funny moments here and there, though. The Tom Cruise gag was amusing. And Lisa Kudrow did surprisingly well with that small role.Adam Zanziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524618281515322239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545661733980837263.post-79876366187590896392011-02-27T12:57:06.891-08:002011-02-27T12:57:06.891-08:00Easy A among the worst?

Curious why it's so low on your list.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.com
