Easy A
Movie Review
The challenge with little lies is that they grow into huge lies. More elaborate lies. Soon, the web of deception becomes so dense and sticky there’s no exit.
That’s the lesson Olive learns in Easy A.
When we meet her, Olive hardly seems a candidate for weaving such a web. Floating around the periphery of Ojai North High School’s social scene, the quiet, conscientious scholar has never done much—good or bad—to merit her peers’ attention. Until, that is, a spontaneous lie spins out of control.
It happens when optimal bud Rhiannon (Rhi for short) asks Olive what she did over the weekend. Embarrassed that she did nothing, Olive tells a tale about rendezvous a college guy. When brassy, bossy, busty Rhi asks if they had sex, Olive replies, Of course not.
But Rhi won’t take no for an answer. And so Olive plays along, spinning yet more lurid threads as she makes up a sexual encounter that never happened.
End of story? Hardly.
Lurking in a bathroom stall near the two girls is the school’s self-appointed, self-righteous crusader for Christ and purity: Marianne. Soon, everyone in the academy knows that Olive, in Marianne̵

A critical and commercial sleeper hit, Easy A was one of Fall 2010’s most welcome surprises, a teen movie that didn’t talk down to its audience, trusting them to be as smart as it’s motor-mouthed heroine. Talking at an average rate of a million miles a minute, Emma Stone’s Olive isn’t your standard high school student: She’s better. No one talked like this in lofty school, but we all wish we handled teen drama with such wit and candor.
From the movie’s incredibly sharp script, here are 35 of the best one-liners and exchanges from Easy A. Real talk: If you don’t want to be Emma Stone or be with her, there’s something fucking wrong with you.
1.
Olive (Emma Stone): Ironically, we were studying “The Scarlet Letter,” but isn’t that always the way? The books you scan in class always seems to have a robust connection with whatever angsty adolescent drama is organism recounted. I consider this. Except for “Huckleberry Finn,” because I don’t realize any teenage boys who have ever run away with a big, hulking black guy.

Mr. Griffith (Thomas Haden Church): I don’t know what your generation̵
