Easy A

So the movie for the night was Easy A, which is a teen movie but I liked it.  If you were a child of the 80s like me you will appreciate this movie in not just the references to the great 80s movies but also how this girl deals with everything.  So the main plot is that this outcast girl (who hasn't been there) starts lying that she is sleeping around the school and gets chastised for it. So its kind of like Molly Ringwald meets Hester Prynne in a strange updated kind of way.  There were a couple of things I liked about it.  1)  Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci play hysterical parents.  2)  The thing that always bothered me about the 80s movies was that the outcast girl kind of always got saved by here Knight in shinning armor, but in this movie the girl deals with and works it out for herself.  So if you are in the mood for something that will take you back to the 80s without breaking out the Breakfast Club for the millionth time you might want to check this movie out.
