After a very lackluster summer blockbuster season (let’s face it, “Inception” really was no “The Dark Knight”), we’re really looking forward to the fall and winter movies. We have to wait until October for “The Social Network” and November for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” but fortunately we only need to wait until September 17 for the upcoming Emma Stone’s comedy, “Easy A.”
To make waiting time a little easier, here’s an exclusive clip from the film. You just might fall in love with the entire film (and Emma all over again) based on this two-minute sneak, because we most certainly did.
In case you need a refresher on the plot, Emma plays Olive Penderghast (hence the “I love” comment) whose little white lie about how she lost her virginity hit the rumor mill at her high school. Since she’s reading “The Scarlet Letter” in school, she finds her life paralleling Hester Prynne’s, so she sews on that red ‘A’ and embraces her new bad reputation to advance socially and financially.
Emma totally rocks her performance from what we’ve seen in the clip. We already thought she was great from “Superbad” and “Zombieland,” but this is her first chance to fly solo on a project, and she really made “Easy A” her own. That whole conversation at the end between her and her ex-friend, Rhiannon (Aly Michalka), made us laugh out loud.
But fortunately, Emma doesn’t have to do it alone. We saw Stanley Tucci in the clip as Olive’s father, Dill, and found him to be hilarious. He’s a talented actor to begin with, but we love him in comedies. Plus, “Easy A” also stars Cam Gigandet, Amanda Bynes, Penn Badgley, Lisa Kudrow and, yes, Malcom McDowell. Can this film do any wrong?
