Plots(1)
In this charming, critically acclaimed tale of rumors and reputation, Olive (Emma Stone), an average high school student, sees her below-the-radar existence turn around overnight once she decides to use the school's gossip grapevine to advance her social standing. Now her classmates (Amanda Bynes, Aly Michalka) are turning against her and the school board is becoming concerned, including her favorite teacher (Thomas Haden Church) and the distracted guidance counselor (Lisa Kudrow). With the support of her hilariously idiosyncratic parents (Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson) and a little help from a long-time crush (Penn Badgley), Olive attempts to take on her notorious new identity and crush the rumor mill once and for all.

TV fanatics, fast-talking beauties, free-thinking parents, and the goddess Emma Stone breaking through to the top league for sure. Perhaps the plot is slightly contrived, but amidst the denied clichés, perfect soundtrack, or easily believable serious moments, it is a clear praise. And hopefully, over time, even a smaller teenage classic.

So once again we’ve been disappointed... this movie was everything... just not funny or romantic. The lead actress was pretty hot, but it all still felt kind of awkward and unfinished... or did I miss the point? Then she was too well hidden.

A very likable, entertaining film - especially thanks to Emma Stone and her parents played by Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson. Reasonable length, interesting plot, no big drama... It's a perfect film for relaxation, but the only thing it has in common with Juno (despite all the comparisons) is the treatment of the main character and the animation on the DVD menu.

This comedy simply left nothing in me. I don't remember a single scene from it properly, which is quite bad. I knew I didn't like it from the moment I started watching it. It just seemed like another one among many, even though my favorite Emma Stone and a few other interesting actors are in it. Well, if there's nothing, then there's nothing.
