Rating: M
Released by Sony Home Pictures
The teen comedy genre gets a welcome shot of life with this new
film, loosely based on the infamous book The Scarlet Letter.
Emma Stone is Olive Penderghast, who finds her world changed when
she's caught up in a lie.
After avoiding a friend's camping trip for a weekend, Olive's
badgered into confessing that she slept with a college guy over
that 48 hour period; something which is patently untrue but one
which is given life despite her protestations to the

Easy A rocks because of a smart, sharp script and a star making
turn from Emma Stone. Self effacing, amusing and incredibly

pitch perfect.

Clarkson seal the deal - and make it a joy to watch again and
again.
Extras: Gag Reel, Audition footage - commentary. The Blu Ray has pop culture references, movies of the eighties, the making of and a pop up trivia.
Rating: 8/10
