Critics Consensus

It owes a huge debt to older (and better) teen comedies, but Easy A proves a smart, witty showcase for its irresistibly charming star, Emma Stone.

Wendy Ide

The Times (UK)

The film is a contemporary reimagining of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter; its sassy spirit evokes Clueless.

While Easy A might not be remembered ten years from now like such films as Pretty in Pink, Pretty Woman, and Boomerang, but it's still a refreshing addition to today's genre.

Screen Rant

Rewatching Easy A today is a reminder of how enduring this take on the teen rom-com is, and why so many of its actors have become stars.

Rated: 8/10

Easy A is a timeless teen classic worth its weight of scarlet letters stretched across your chest.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

"Easy A" pays homage to Hughes while creating a modern and endlessly-connected high school setting for the Facebook and Twitter generation that we didn't see coming a generation ago.

Rated: 4/5

This to me was Emma Stone's breakout, as she gave an adorable performance in this coming-of-age dramedy. Kudos to the writers and director (Will Gluck). A must see.

I absolutely love this movie. I've watched it many times. I might be biased because I i think emma is a great actress. It's a romantic comedy coming of age film that I think everybody should see at least once

A John Hughes-inspired take on “The Scarlet Letter”. Easily a staple high-school film for most millennials, starring one of the most talented millennial actresses—Emma Stone. While it’s heavily influenced by the 1980s coming-of-age classics, there is enough aughts energy to justify millennials’ claim to it. Being a popular film released in 2010, it has some poorly aging, edgy humor, and scenes that produced GIFs that arguably eclipse the film itself’s popularity. Amanda Bynes goes out on top as the character actress that could have been with this amazing last role, as of now at least. It will likely prove itself as an evergreen, high school film that future generations will continue to discover.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I look for just a few things with movies. Good acting, a consistent plot, with believable goals, and characters moving the story forward. This definitely checked those boxes. Strong thematic messages about sexuality and acceptance, not profoundly portrayed, but done so competently. Enjoyed this one.
