Teen comedy may secretly be my favorite genre. Okay, maybe not so secretly. But when good teen comedy comes along, it's delightful. There's just something about those teenage years that is ripe for all sorts of hilarity. We've all been there. We all know the drill and some things never change. The universality of the themes and the glee and zest with which young talent take on their roles is unique to the genre and special for viewers. If the right director and writer bring that cast to life, it's pure joy. Easy A takes The Scarlet Letter and brings it to California in 2010. It's fabulous and witty on many levels. Emma Stone received a Golden Globe nom for the role and to be honest, the film wouldn't have had nearly so much pinache without her. Trailer here.
