Easy A
Easy A (stylized as easy A) is a 2010 American teen romantic comedy film directed by Will Gluck, written by Bert V. Royal, and starring Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Amanda Bynes, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, Cam Gigandet, Lisa Kudrow, Malcolm McDowell, Aly Michalka, and Stanley Tucci. The screenplay was partially inspired by the 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Shot in Ojai, California, the film was released on September 17, 2010. The film received positive reviews with high praise for Stone's performance, and was a major financial success, grossing $75 million worldwide against a budget of $8 million. Stone received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, while the movie won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Comedy. The film is ranked as number 14 on Entertainment Weekly's 2021 list of the Best High School Movies. Easy A is also Bynes’ last appearance in a motion picture film to date.
The story is narrated by Olive Penderghast, a seventeen-year-old high school student living in Ojai, California, speaking into her webcam.
Desperate to avoid going on a camping trip with her best friend Rhiannon Abernathy and Rhiannon's hippie parents, Olive dishonestly claims she is going on a date with a college boy that weekend; truthfully, she stays home all weekend listening to Natasha Bedingfield's "Pocketful of Sunshine" from a musical greeting card her grandmother sent her. Pressed by Rhiannon the following Monday, Olive eventually lies about having lost her virginity to her fictional date. Prudish, devout Christian student Marianne Bryant overhears their conversation, and Olive's story soon spreads throughout the school. The school's church group, run by Marianne, decides to "save" Olive from her supposed promiscuity. Olive confides the truth to her classmate Brandon, a gay student who is bullied for his sexual orientation. She agrees to serve as his ”beard” and pretend to have sex with him at a teen party so people will believe he is straight.
After a fight with Rhiannon, Olive decides to embrace her new reputation as a "tramp", and begins to dress more provocatively. She stitches a red "A" onto her clothes, inspired by Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter, which she has been reading in English class. Boys who have had no previous luck with girls beg Olive to increase their popularity by letting them claim they have had sex with her, which she does in exchange for gift cards to various stores. Marianne's boyfriend Micah contracts chlamydia from sleeping with the school guidance counselor Mrs. Griffith, but claims Olive was the one who gave it to him. Because Mrs. Griffith's husband, Mr. Griffith, is Olive's favorite teacher, she accepts the blame to spare their marriage.
The church youth group, now including Rhiannon, begins harassing Olive in an attempt to get her to drop out of school. She goes on a date with Rhiannon's crush Anson, which ends with her storming off angrily after he tries bribing her to actually have sex with him and not just claim that she did.
Olive reconnects with Todd, her childhood crush and the school mascot, who says he does not believe the rumors because she lied for him when he was not ready for his first kiss years ago. She asks everyone who paid her to admit the truth, but nobody is willing to relinquish their newfound reputations. When Mrs. Griffith refuses to admit to her affair with Micah, Olive threatens to expose her; Mrs. Griffith says no one would believe her. Olive immediately informs Mr. Griffith, who subsequently separates from his wife.
After talking with her mother, Olive comes up with a plan – she performs a song-and-dance number at a pep rally to draw people's attention and tells them to watch her webcast that night, promising an online sex show with Todd. However, the webcast has served as the frame story for the film. As Olive is concluding her webcast, Todd comes by her house riding a lawn mower. She signs off by saying that she may lose her virginity to him eventually, but whether she does or not is "nobody's goddamn business". Olive texts Rhiannon and apologizes for lying to her. She goes outside to meet Todd, and they kiss before riding off on the lawn mower.
