Easy A - The movie

Don't usually write movie reviews cos I'm too conscious about my views being really bias. I usually watch a movie because there are good reviews out there, or I just like some of the actors. So I got these free tickets to watch the preview of Easy A. The trailer was really funny and then there was Penn Badgely's hot bod! Anyway, Contagious Network was kind enough to supply the tickets.

I had to watch alone because the timing coincides with the iftar time. Okay now i'm feeling guilty about watching a movie during Ramadhan. Well, since I'm on holiday, and I just felt like going out, I watched it anyway

The storyline was simple - an almost non-existense high school girl made up lies about sleeping around when she is actually a virgin. It started out as a favour to help a gay friend but somehow words spread around and she suddenly became really popular in a bad way. I dunno being called a slut would constitute being cool but I guess everyone has their own mission in life. At first, she embraced the lies but after a while it started to affect her friendship and also her social life. Oh wait, is it just me or Amanda Bynes' face just look kinda like bloated in the movie? It looks soo fake, I actually hated it...haha...The film centers a lot on the Scarlet Letter story. I've heard about her but have never read the book. I am after all born and raised in KL..it's not like we read all these stuff in school.

The funny part was mostly when she was embracing her role as a school slut. The nerds would strike a deal about her giving them sexual favours in return for gifts when it was just all made up. Also, Olive (the name of the lead character, by the way) has such a cool and hilarious parents. My favourite part was when Olive was so angry at her new 'identifier' that she made all these angry sound and her father came into the room and thought that...oh well you gotta see it for yourself to be funny. Haha.. Another interesting part was that she has an adopted brother and he is not Caucasian. It's kinda like making fun of American celebrities who adopt kids from other races just to show how open minded they are. Well I'm sure they are open minded...hihi.

So, I guess you gotta see it for yourself and judge it. Oh yes, did I mention that Penn Badgely aka Dan Humphrey (Gossip Girl) is really hot. I mean really!
