Easy A

Thanks to social networking, students no longer have to abandon their stereotypes when they graduate.

And while high school gossips, bullies and class clowns can thrive on the Internet, only those labeled "easy" can flourish in both worlds.

After she pretends to have sex with a homosexual student to help him appear straight, a smart-mouthed student, Olive (Emma Stone), finds her own life mimicking the Puritan allegory that she's studying in school.

Labeled a sinner by the class Christian (Amanda Bynes), Olive decides to roll with her new branding – until it effects those closest to her.

A wry comedy starring a self-assured teen from the 'burbs, Easy A is derivative of every John Hughes movie, which it references ad nauseam. Unfortunately, the similarities end when it comes to delivering the laughs.

Furthermore, when people are referencing the '80s, they need to specify if they're referencing the 1980s or the 1880s. (Yellow Light)
