Overview

Olive, an average high school student, sees her below-the-radar existence turn around overnight once she decides to use the school’s gossip grapevine to advance her social standing. Now her classmates are turning against her and the school board is becoming concerned, including her favorite teacher and the distracted guidance counselor. With the support of her hilariously idiosyncratic parents and a little help from a long-time crush, Olive attempts to take on her notorious new identity and crush the rumor mill once and for all.

Viewing Notes

After my conference I marched over to the AMC for an early evening screening of Easy A (2010) to kill time before my 8pm screening of Hisshiken torisashi (2010) a.k.a. Sword of Desperation. I would’ve gone to an actual festival screening but none w/available tickets had times that worked out.

Emma Stone is excellent. Plays like a John Hughes film and, if nothing else, is certainly a love letter to the man. Really enjoyed this film and look forward to repeat viewings. If you don’t know, it’s about a girl who tells a lie that spirals out of control. Also features Aly Michalka, whom I just love because she’s so damn sexy (see: Bandslam). Thomas Haden Church is equally terrific but for different reasons.

But $12 movie ticket for an extremely subpar experience (shitty screen, shitty seats, shitty people). Hate River East AMC!
