Easy A

While preparing to have "sex" with Brandon in the bedroom at the party, Olive is seen taking off her right boot twice but is not seen taking off her left boot.

In the scene where Olive's mother comes into her bedroom (and she's playing the guitar) the dog on her bed is chewing on a toy.

In the next cut, the toy is gone.

In the next cut, the toy has returned and the dog is chewing on it again.

In the final pep rally scene Olive puts her feather boa around Rhiannon's neck.

In the next shot of Rhiannon it's no longer around her neck but a few seconds later it's back.

In the final pep rally scene, after Olive's singing performance, when principal Griffith charges towards Olive to bring her to his office, he is for some reason wearing a different outfit from when he introduced the Woodchucks earlier in the scene.

During the montage scene Chris gives Olive movie passes worth $40, which she mentions will expire in her voice-over.

Per California law since 1997 gift certificates cannot expire.

In the end credits, as the camera continues down the street, at the end, you can see a City of Ojai police officer stopping traffic from the opposite end to allow the filming.

In the scene where Olive and Brandon are faking intercourse, the pictures will be lopsided on the walls, then straighten themselves up magically.

As Todd is driving Olive home, you can see the speedometer as they drive down Olive's street.

Even though they are clearly moving, the speedometer says 0 MPH (miles per hour).

When Olive stands at the door claiming Mr Griffith wanted to see her, the 'A' is on the left side of her chest.

When he confirms, she walks across the room with the 'A' on the right side.

She sits down at the desk and the 'A' appears back on the left side.

In one of the first scenes with Olive and Rhiannon, where they are walking down a school hallway, a mic belt can be seen on Olive's shirt.

'Emma Stone (III)' (qv) herself pointed this out in the DVD commentary for IMDb's benefit.

At the restaurant where Olive is on a date with Anson, Olive's bib changes positions in certain scenes.

One scene it is tied around her neck and in the next it looks like its tucked into her shirt, down around her chest, and then back to her neck and so on.

After Olive spells out the bad word in her peas at dinner and they are discussing what her potential punishment would be, her mother's wine glass moves from being held to being on the counter numerous times.

Micah caught chlamydia from the guidance counselor, yet she and her husband have not had sex in months.

It is reasonable to assume that she had an additional lover besides Micah.

During the first scene with the English teacher, he spells "judgment" as the British spelling "judgement", even though he is American.

However, this is part of a lesson about The Scarlet Letter, which is written in 17th-century English idiom.

Micah's age, as described by the other characters, changes from 22 to 20.

The first reference (to 22) was probably hyperbole, with the later explanation being official and precise.

When Olive tries to right her wrongs, she talks to Evan in an ice cream parlor to persuade Evan to tell the truth.

When Evan refuses, Olive crushes an ice cream cone but, in the next shot the cone she crushed is still there.

In the last pep rally scene in the gym, when a shot cuts to Rhiannon, her face is obstructed by a rainbow created by the camera lens.

When Olive and Brandon are pretending to have sex, both times Olive slaps Brandon, slapping sounds can be heard when she isn't actually hitting him.

During Olive's date with Anson, the waitress sets down their plates and as soon as she places their cutlery on the table the staff can already be heard singing happy birthday but when the shot cuts to them carrying out the cake the waitress is seen in the line right behind Todd.

In the end pep rally scene, Olive grabs a band members trombone slide and pulls it outwards and pushes it back inwards creating a sound going up in pitch and then down in pitch, which is incorrect.

In fact a real trombone should go lower as the slide is pulled out and higher as the slide is pushed in which would create the exact opposite sound as depicted in the movie.

When Marianne hugs Olive and cries, Olive's head changes from being on the side of her shoulder to being on the top of her shoulder between shots.

When Olive is doing the live broadcast near the end of the film, her screen is visible and it shows "Start Broadcast" multiple times, indicating that she isn't currently broadcasting anything.

When Brandon and Olive fake having sex, the pillows fall off the bed.

In the next shot, they're back on the bed.

After the scene of Olive and Rhiannon sitting on top of the yellow car, the voice over of Emma Stone says "The next day, things took a turn for the scandalous.

" yet the very next scene Olive and Brandon are both wearing the exact same clothes from the "previous" day.

As Brandon opens the bedroom door to leave after having fake sex with Olive, his hands are empty.

As he steps out in the hallway, he is holding his leather jacket.

In the scene where Brandon and Olive are in her bedroom, the desktop on her computer shows Olive and Rhiannon from afar.

However, in another shot afterwords it appears to be a closeup of the same picture.

When talking with her mother when getting the gift from Brandon, the picture changes a lot, but if you watch closely, when her mother is saying her father is a little too straight, you can see her background image change, so it rotates through different pictures.

On Saturday morning when Olive is polishing her toes, the card is already open under her leg and not playing music.

In the next shot she is seen opening it and the music coming on.

At the beginning of the movie, when Olive and Rhiannon are walking down the main street of Ojai (the street with all the arches) you can plainly see the California Highway Patrol car and the officer holding traffic at the intersection to keep traffic off the street while filming.

When Marrianne and Olive become 'friends' for that one day in school, Olive hugs her in the office wearing a pink and black corset, and when it cuts to another scene in the same school day when they are yet again hugging, Olive is wearing a white t-shirt, and then for the rest of the classes back in the pink and black corset.

There are jump-cuts in Olive's broadcast, which shouldn't be possible when broadcasting live.

When Todd gets out of the pool to talk to Olive, his shoulders are dry and in the next cut they are dripping wet again - PLOTOlive mentions her fake boyfriend at the beginning of the movie who goes to the same college as her brother, but the brother is never mentioned again.

In the beginning of the movie right after Olive picks up the paper off the ground, the clip on her necklace changes position between shots.

Easy A is based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter", but is an homage to the teen films of John Hughes. Director Will Gluck even uses clips from some of those films.

When I first saw the trailer of Easy A, I wasn't particularly intrigued. It looked like just another high school teenage comedy.

A nice little high-school comedy, refreshing in its depiction of teenage life that is much more honest and realistic than most genre movies made in the last decade it's attitude of realism combined with craziness is remarkably similar to that of John Hughes' movies and indeed Easy A is a clear (stated) homage to them. It's not by any means a cinematic creation of importance - some good performances and a witty intelligent script but not much in terms of craftsmanship - but it's solid entertainment and it may be an effective generation-bridge between parents who were teenagers in the 80's and their own teenage children, one that's not nearly as embarrassing for inter-generation watch as most recent teenage rom-coms are.

Virginal high schooler Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) tells a little white lie to her best friend Rhiannon (Alyson Michalka). It quickly spreads as judgmental Marianne (Amanda Bynes) makes Olive the new cause celeb.

Emma Stone delivers a stellar performance as character Olive Penderghast. An average high school student who jumps from the bottom of the social ladder to the top overnight, when there's word that she slept with some guy from a community college.

What drew me to this film were the cast, on paper this was a great cast capable of great performances. And that's exactly the case watching Easy A.

A pretty good comedy. When you feel lonely, the only thing you can do is become stronger.

Olive is an ordinary Californian high school girl whose life is thrown into disarray after one little lie wanting to get out of going camping with her best friend she claims to have a date with a college boy. Afterwards her friend wants all the juicy details Olive says nothing happened but isn't believed.

Easy A is yet another coming of age, teen movie, that is almost funny enough to make you forget how utterly ridiculous and unbelievable the rest of the movie is. I was in high school not that many years ago and literally nothing like anything seen as usual or acceptable in this school ever happened.
