The main character, director, screen writer, etc... do a really convincing job of digging a hole for the main character. Unfortunately they make it nearly to the end of the movie before trying to fill in the hole with any type of resolution at which point they fall back on an undeveloped love interest. Especially with tie-ins to the Scarlet Letter and schleppy 80s movies I expected more than a guy who makes it all better for the lady. At the very least a musical scene could have been included. Watch it for the digging, but not for the end - you've seen the end before. Edited 2014-11-26: After a little more thought I think there is a little more at play in the movie about the perception of women. That a woman's intimate life is somehow open for public comment and denigration whereas a man's intimate life appears to revolve around the woman's with a focus on the denigration. I upgraded my rating to 3 stars, but still believe the ending was trite and potentially the opposite of empowering for women.

There's two ways people tend to see this film. Some see it as a life lesson for young adults about how deceit can create real life problems/feelings (even if you and your intentions were good); while others seem to see this film as an attack on Christians. I think this is a fun Emma Stone teen comedy with fantastic memeable moments. Is it perfect? No (especially that Tom Sawyer joke, yikes), but it's pretty good. Pass if you're sensitive to the possibly that some Christians can also be jerks.

Have you ever decided to wear that gigantic winter coat to a party, but never found a place to put it, so you carry it around all night? In the first scene of Easy A, you're handed a problem, but by the time you know where to put it, you've already left it under some table. If this movie had shown one scene in the first 15 minutes that was wider than a family's kitchen counter, I think I would have fallen for it. Oh, I almost forgot, Emma Stone pretty much carries this movie. It's worth watching just for her delivery.
