A-list actress’s breakout teen rom-com now available for streaming | Films | Entertainment

An iconic romantic-comedy that propelled Emma Stone to stardom in 2010 is now just a click away for streaming enthusiasts with a subscription to Amazon Prime Video.

A decade and a half since its release, this hilariously sharp and endlessly quotable high school movie has garnered an immense cult following, earning its place alongside legendary teen comedies like Heathers and Mean Girls.

Many hail it as the definitive high school comedy of the 2010s, with some fans claiming it remains unrivalled.

The film in question is none other than Easy A, which follows the misadventures of Olive Penderghast (portrayed by Stone), a 17-year-old who becomes entangled in a web of salacious high school gossip.

After lying about losing her virginity, Olive quickly finds herself at the epicentre of attention, with a line of boys eager to claim their first time with her.

This cheeky rom-com brilliantly encapsulates the tumultuous emotions and rampant hormones of teenage life, supported by an outstanding cast including Penn Badgley, Stanley Tucci, Lisa Kudrow, and Amanda Bynes in her last cinematic appearance.

Easy A’s charm continues to resonate with audiences, as evidenced by a glowing Google review from just last year: “The movie was fantastic! Emma’s portrayal of the main character was not only charming and captivating but also brilliantly executed.

“The narrative itself took on a satirical tone, presenting a teenage tale that was laced with humour at every turn.

“Emma’s performance truly carried the film, as her down-to-earth narration made it easy for me to empathise with her character.”

A glowing five-star review highlighted the difficulty in critiquing the film: “Hard to put a review on the movie, obviously really enjoyed it but I think that’s an Emma Stone thing.

“Extremely difficult to dislike any movies she’s in. Always plays a loveable character that’s so easy to connect to and ride their emotions. Would 100% recommend to anyone.”

Praise continued with another viewer describing the film as “funny and charming throughout,” adding, “Emma Stone is perfect. You can see her star potential for sure.

“Great modern update and it definitely works in today’s world. You will not be disappointed.”

On Reddit, fans were effusive about Stone’s breakout role, with one admirer exclaiming, “It’s an absolute showstopping performance from Emma Stone in her first leading role.

“She totally makes the film, she takes a great part and wrings its neck. No-one who saw that film back in 2010 would have been surprised that she got a Best Actress Oscar before she was 30 and another one before she was 35.

“(She should have got one for Easy A, but Black Swan was an ‘art film’ and the Academy is always a sucker for art films.)”

Letterboxd users echoed these sentiments, with one reviewer asserting, “Emma Stone has only given one Oscar worthy performance in her career and it wasn’t La La Land.”

With such acclaim, the question arises: Is it time to revisit Easy A this week, or will you be experiencing its wit and charm for the very first time?

Easy A is available to stream on Prime Video.
