Easy A is really A+!

If you want a light comedy for the holiday, try EASY A.  It is not filled with a lot of A-list actors, but some strong character actors and fresh teen faces.  Olive is a virgin which seems to be a crime in today's high school.  She "helps" other teens by pretending to have sex with them - a gay guy, a shy guy, a chubby guy.  Olive accepts "gifts" from the people that she helps like Home Depot gift cards.  Her parents are ex-hippies who have adopted a black child.  They are too understanding even for hippies.  But there is one decent guy, of course.   I give this flick an "A+."  Rent it now.
