What a funny, charming, smart surprise. This is a high school movie that might be wasted on its core audience, since I suspect adults will get more of a charge from this film than the action movie fan boys and the swooning Twilight-struck pubescent girls who normally populate the mall cineplex. Emma Stone, as the student who augments her status in high school with some salacious (untrue) confessions, and then suffers the consequences, moves up to Emerging Star in "Easy A." With a dead on script, fluid direction, and one of the best supporting ensembles in memory, this is a movie to enjoy, and not just smile, but laugh out loud. I'd see it again.Rated PG-13. 92 minutes.
