'Easy A' is an early Emma Stone vehicle, and a good one. Comedy is a variation on 'The Scarlet Letter' where good girl Stone gains an unearned reputation as the school slut (she's still a virgin) when a rumor she started to appease a friend gets out of hand. Good cast, Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson play unusually enlightened parents. Thomas Haden Church, Amanda Bynes, Aly Michalka and Malcom McDowell also appear. I enjoyed it, though it's hard to buy the films conceit that Emma Stone starts the story largely ignored by the men in her high school. ***
