Theater Thursday is back! This week's featured movie is something newer, Easy A!
Easy A stars Emma Stone as Olive, a high school student being subjected to the rumor mill. What started as a way to get out of a camping trip with her friend, Olive lied and said she was going out on a date with a college guy named George. When faced with the question of how the date when, Olive lies and says that they did it.
Overheard by the most religious person in school, Marianne (Amanda Bynes) the lie is then spread throughout the student body. Olive's friend Brandon (Dan Byrd) knows the truth but asks Olive to pretend to have sex with him so people will stop tormenting him for being gay. Once Olive agrees and pretends. The rumors begin to circulate even faster and before she can control it, the entire unpopular population of boys in school are asking her to pretend they did sexual things. However, Woodchuck Todd (Penn Badgley), Olive's old friend refuses to believe in the rumors.
Olive has to figure out how to get her good reputation back, win over the boy she actually likes and try not to get kicked out of school all at the same time. Easy A has been one of the funniest and cutest movies I've seen in a long time. Watch it!

I hadn't even heard of this one yet. I didn't think you were going to say it was funny and cute. I thought it was going to get dark! LOL
I loved it! I can't wait to buy it!
It was definitely one of the cutest and funniest movies I've seen in a while! She was nominated for a golden globe, love it!
I LOVED Easy A. :)
I saw this and liked it but not as much as I thought I would. It came on the heels of me seeing She's Out Of My League, which I thought was awesome, so I guess it just wasn't as good as that.
On the darker side of this theme is the movie "Gossip", I watched it during one of my snow days, pretty good movie with a really good twist!
I saw this movie at the theater AND have already purchased and watched it twice. LOVE IT!

I LOVED this movies. it was so cute and I love Emma Stone!
I really want to watch that movie!
I watched this movie last week. I was so surprised by how much I liked it. It's totally one of those teenage movies, but the girl in it is so likable. She was fantastic in The Rocker as well.
Shelby and I watched this just the other day! It was so cute! I really liked it and he did too! :-)
I thought this movie was very cute! And different enough to be refreshing!
XOXO

I've heard great things about this movie and really wanted to see it back when it was in theaters. But I never did. I guess I just need to check it out now that it's on dvd.
I have been wondering about this movie! if Jmo recommends it, then i'll definitely add it to the ol' Netflix que ;)
I LUVRED that movie! Hands down one of the cutest and cleverst movies in a while. Penn Badgely is such a cutie patootie. Did you see Morning Glory yet? It's not as cute as this but super cute.

I haven't heard of this movie yet. But I do have a small soft spot for Amanda Bynnes since the magnificence that was She's the Man.
