Plot

After a little white lie about losing her virginity gets out, a clean cut high school girl sees her life paralleling Hester Prynne's in "The Scarlet Letter," which she is currently studying in school - until she decides to use the rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing.

Review
This film was brilliant. Simply brilliant. So clever and witty and subtle.

Emma Stone, playing Olive our heroine was amazing. I want to be her when I grow up. I wanted to be Veronica Mars, but she has been eclipsed by Emma as Olive. She is sassy and clever and gorgeous and witty and did I say sassy?

She tosses out insouciance and devil may care as easy as breathing. Her parents (played by Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson) are as witty and charming as she it. Amanda Bynes is brilliant as Marianne - a very scary Christian who has Olive in her sights.

I could spend hours raving about the cast and the script and the coolness - but just go see it.
