Easy A

Movie · 2010

Easy A is a witty high-school comedy starring Emma Stone as a teen whose small white lie about losing her virginity snowballs into a school-wide scandal, loosely inspired by The Scarlet Letter. The entire film revolves around teen sexuality, reputation, and social judgment, with constant sexual references, moderate profanity, and frank adult conversations throughout.

Best suited for mature teens aged 15 and up, ideally watched with a parent ready to talk through its themes.
