@samletsplaygames i would have been happy to have these parents during high school lol. i love them both. they absolutely delivered the lines in just the perfect way lol.
The mascot guy doesn't come out of nowhere. It makes sense if you think about his story arc. But no one is paying attention to him. Scared, shy boy is locked in a room with a girl he likes. He chickens out of kissing her an she covers for him. Now he is infatuated. He then seems to get over being shy an becomes the mascot. Or he became the mascot to force himself to be more outgoing. As the mascot she talks to him. He keeps bumping in to her an hitting on her but she doesn't show interest. So he plays it off with the friend stuff. The friendly mascot guy is his fallback safe space. He ditched a wedding rehearsal to go to a party, just to bump in to her. She leaves when they do. He brings up the kiss at the pool, trying to tell her he knows whats really going on. Tells her they could have tried again. She completely misses it, so he does the friend thing again an. He thinks hes being shot down. In the car he brings it up again. He then says he regrets not kissing her. Her being mad at her friend, she lets slip that she likes him. He is shocked. Until that point he thought she was just being friendly. Now that he knows, he immediately asks to kiss her. Not long in to her stream, she talks about two classic romantic movies. He knows those movies, which says a lot. He then stops watching the stream, finds a mp3 player, downloads a song, steals a mower an drives it to her house. He is the kind of guy that does not ask girls out until they give him a sign they will say yes, but once he has that, he goes all out. But she is so busy hiding her feelings that she misses it until then. An we miss it because we think hes background until then.
I thought it was pretty clear Todd had a crush on Olive the whole time. From the beginning of the movie, he comes up to her and awkwardly tries to start conversations with her
I didn't think about that - thank you for raising that point. SHE GAVE the student Chlamydia but she hadn't slept with her husband in over 6 months, it didn't come from him. Which means she has been having other affairs before getting with the student. She told the story to Olive as if this was the only affair that she had out of desperation but her timeline doesn't work - she is still lying.
And it's weird that they haven't slept together for over 6 months because in that one scene it seems like he's definitely interested in her by grabber her butt and talking about meatballs, so it must be her blocking his attempts those last 6 months.
I was hoping to see more reactions to the parent's jokes (the adoption joke + Olive's conversations with her mum) but I'm glad you love them as much as I do!! ❤️ BEST on screen parents ever!!😂🥰
I had forgotten about the fact that Micah was 22 years old old in high school. Funny, they said that, so Lisa Kudrow could just be an adulterer who had inappropriate sex with a student but not a child.
No. Stop hyperboling. If that scene deserves an Academy Award then we might as well it give it for literally every single movie ever made in Hollywood.
Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson were the coolest and funniest parents I've ever seen! Emma Stone is a sweetheart and badass and this is the film that introduced me to her. And Penn (Lobster Todd) is smokin' hot with a heart of gold! Amanda Bynes' character was also blast. One of my favorite movies, period!
This is one of my comfort movies! Whole cast absolutely knocked it out of the park, and it’s my favourite role Amanda Bynes has ever done - she absolutely killed it . I went to a catholic school and know the character she was playing all too well, and she absolutely nailed it 😂
People tend to forget Emma Stone was originally planning on a a music career m her television debut in 2004and was a cast member of a Partiriidge family reboot on VH1
The movie 'Easy A' is a modern adaptation loosely based on the classic American 1850 book 'The Scarlett Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. One of the great novels in American literature.
This is one of my favorite movie to the point and I memorized most of the lines. I'm glad it's getting the proper recognition and you guys reacting to it!
Great reaction - Jaby's sense of fun is contagious, and it's great to see Steph reacting to something like this, very incisive, tho she seems uncomfortable - I just realized watching this again that this is almost a prequel to Poor Things, and Emma Stone's role almost feels like preparation for it - Easy A is very strong as a response to Hawthorne and a contemporary riff on those themes - ppl should see the 1926 film that's excerpted here, from the great Victor Sjostrom, w incredible performances from Lillian Gish and Lars Hanson - also react to Eighth Grade, Thirteen, and Booksmart

As one of those "born again" types, I will say that there are definitely self-righteous sorts like you see in this movie, and some who put on an act because they think they're supposed to be happy all the time. But most aren't. There is genuinely a lot of joy to be had, especially when you really understand the message. Because then your joy doesn't depend on your external circumstances
I was first introduced to Emma Stone through this movie. It was a work friend's husband's favorite movie at the time so I gave it a chance and was SO GLAD I did!
Fun fact: the night I first saw this movie was the night we got Bin Laden. We stopped the movie halfway through to watch the announcement then went back to it. Weird memory to be linked to a movie
Great review, loved this movie so much, you look so good in this vid jaby...I also so agree with steph..highschool is such a horrible experience, a rite of passage but not something Id ever wanna go back to under and circumstance lol
Awesome reaction you guys!!💯 Also can I just say that Jaby's laugh is the best thing in the world.. 😆 because simultaneously I start laughing hysterically and automatically in a better mood. 😂😂💓💓
can someone give me movies that have the same satirical idea and sarcastic humour of this movie (like critiquing typical highschool movies vibe) that are they same light hearted vibe as this one with a funny main character
Don't worry, for years I thought Malcolm McDowell was Feyd in the original Dune movie before recently realizing it was actually Sting. It happens to the best of us.
I'm Gen Z 80's kid dude who grew up on the cinema of teen machine John Hughes and the Brat Pack during my formative years. One of the two biggest modern movies that seem like spiritual cousins to that era of rite of passage movies is this Easy A. I saw it three times opening weekend and thought it was an instant classic in the teen angst genre and Emna Stone was and is a one woman show force of nature giving a break out go for broke tour de force performance and complete big ball of talent savage. It's lost none of its charm and power. This is the cinematic equivalent of a bottle of Perkocet. You'll OD on happiness. The other film is 2017's The Edge Of Seventeen where Hailee Steinfeld pulls off a similar feet as Stone and just owns that movie start to finish showing all her range and its considerable and immense. Check that one out. Woody Harrelson as a cynical teacher and her's scenes are transcendent.
I remember back before Emma Stone came into her own, she was often referred to as, "the girl who looks like Lindsay Lohan. I think the first movie I saw her in, was The Rocker. Also, no shade, because you guys are great, but might as well face it, Steph is kinda giving me Robert Palmer video vibes in this. 😂
Sad thing is being hot in high school doesn't make you a sure thing if you can't sell it. When I went through high school I had zero self worth and zero self confidence so I went through the whole thing single AF. If anyone did talk to me outside of my friend group I didn't believe a thing they said I thought they were just being ironic because it's the late 90's and ironic sarcasm is how people talked. Even in my friend group I got one compliment I held on to because they were in a terrible spot and not in a place to joke so I knew that one was real the rest I blew off as jokes. It wouldn't be for another 20-ish years I realized what I had a shot at and lost somewhere around the 39/40 mark I saw a picture of myself it was either in high school or just after and I can't believe how stupidly 90's HOT I was externally, if I had just a tiny bit of confidence it was over but I didn't so it was all Ogre.
No shade to these reactors because I feel like I see this all the time when I watch younger people react to a movie that’s not even that old, especially a comedy. It’s a comedy it’s not meant to be taken so seriously. This is actually an incredibly witty comedy that is you don’t really listen you miss great hilarious dialogue.
Not for nothing, because I agree, but it fascinates me when youtubers call out an entire generation (that I'm not a member of) for sharing their thoughts on social media. TH-cam influencers are just an extension of it.
28:50 to be fair he LITERALLY only did what she LITERALLY put out to the whole school how was he supposed to know, Granted it was a slimes move but that’s LITERALLY what she gets paid for how does he no it’s fake!
My sister's best friend had a horrible experience with her high school counselor. So she became a high school counselor. A really good one from what I hear.
"Counselors in high school do not listen" - oh boy do I have an axe. When I was in school, few teachers and no administrators ever listened to be about my situation at home and the abuse I dealt with on a daily basis. I was bullied and harassed by students and teachers at school as well, so they didn't want to hear any of it. One day, I was sent to the office and met the new counselor - she was fresh out of college and eager to help. I told her I had trouble, and she wanted to help! I felt so relieved and heard, I felt hopeful. She went to get my chart and while she was in the front office the other teachers convinced her that I was playing a prank on her and making her look stupid. They convinced her I was an asshole who was just trying to take advantage of her naivete, and when she returned she was angry at me and would not be convinced otherwise ... that was the last time I ever turned to anyone in my school for anything.
Omg is this the shortest intro ever? Doesn't matter, this movie is amazing. It never got the cult following Mean Girls got, but for me it's just as good. Emma Stone *delivers* as Olive. Her parents are amazing. And Penn Badgley is HOT and not creepy, for once.
the parents in this movie are absolute scene-stealers.
@samletsplaygames i would have been happy to have these parents during high school lol. i love them both. they absolutely delivered the lines in just the perfect way lol.
“Where are you from originally?”
Stanley Tucci's outburst of "Who told you?" when their son mentions being adopted is my favorite delivery of any line ever.
“Is there an Olive here?”
“There’s a whole jar of them in the refrigerator”
If Jaby posts a reaction video of only her parents' scenes, it might have more views!

How long have you been a Furry?
@@lokithecat7225not reading allat😭
Great analysis actually.
THANK YOU for that. that's exactly ( pretty much ) what I've noticed about his character. great reading of his character! spot on!
oh, this is fantastic
I thought it was pretty clear Todd had a crush on Olive the whole time. From the beginning of the movie, he comes up to her and awkwardly tries to start conversations with her
It's weird how reactors don't get that

Why did I never actually catch on to that. You’re totally right!
And it's weird that they haven't slept together for over 6 months because in that one scene it seems like he's definitely interested in her by grabber her butt and talking about meatballs, so it must be her blocking his attempts those last 6 months.
This is an insanely rewatchable movie. Emma Stone is love, Emma Stone is life😍🤩
"Is that Sting?" one of the funniest things I've heard in awhile lmao!
I was hoping to see more reactions to the parent's jokes (the adoption joke + Olive's conversations with her mum) but I'm glad you love them as much as I do!! ❤️
BEST on screen parents ever!!😂🥰
It's sad that people forget how good Amanda Bynes was before her breakdown.
I had forgotten about the fact that Micah was 22 years old old in high school. Funny, they said that, so Lisa Kudrow could just be an adulterer who had inappropriate sex with a student but not a child.
Yeah plus olive covering for her would’ve made less sense if she was having an affair with a minor
Academy Award for Emma Stone in the ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’ Montage. We’ve all been there, we’ve all done it.
No. Stop hyperboling. If that scene deserves an Academy Award then we might as well it give it for literally every single movie ever made in Hollywood.
@@Targaryen_HistorianFound the Marianne
@@ApocalypticHamTacos what?
This and The Duff are my go to. The parents are the best characters.
This and Flipped for me. Always a fun experience to rewatch.
My counseler recommended that I drop out. He said staying in would be beating a dead horse. I did in 10th grade and went to college 6 months later.
Every time I watch reactions of this movie I get pocket of sunshine stuck in my head for weeks.
Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson were the coolest and funniest parents I've ever seen! Emma Stone is a sweetheart and badass and this is the film that introduced me to her.

You guys were so fun to watch, Jaby has such a great laugh! Some of these jokes really got him haha.
Agreed! I love when we get a cackle from Jaby!

This movie is so much fun. The characters are quirky and silly. You can’t take it too seriously, it’s just a good time.

This was my favourite Emma Stone movie when I was 12. Still is.
It makes me so happy to see Jaby get so into this and genuinely laugh. I loved this movie when I was in 8th or 9th grade.
I love this movie, such a fun watch and such quick, witty dialogue. Olive reminds me of Veronica Mars and that character's snappy comebacks.
This is one of those movies that sneaks up on you. Easily able to watch it more than once.
The line about Florida is more accurate today then when the movie came out.
The parents are awesome in this movie.
And I only knew who Emma Stone was after this movie.

"these are bad, they lead to unwanted pregnancy, mismatched tires on your vehicle..."
"what? how does that lead to unwanted pregnancy??"
bro
I think he thought they were just smoking cigs and not weed lol. I think they talked over that part when it was mentioned.
Thought "V card" was famous phrase
Back in the day…
@SpontaneousAndStructured no it's used a lot in heartbreak high, a recent release
it is especially for someone of his age
Great review, loved this movie so much, you look so good in this vid jaby...I also so agree with steph..highschool is such a horrible experience, a rite of passage but not something Id ever wanna go back to under and circumstance lol
Awesome reaction you guys!!💯 Also can I just say that Jaby's laugh is the best thing in the world.. 😆 because simultaneously I start laughing hysterically and automatically in a better mood. 😂😂💓💓
I've never clicked anything so fast. Came running just looking at the title.
This is one of my favorite movies, so many great one-liners that I quote all the time 😂
"Is that Sting?!"
Facepalm :D
Can't believe you didn't include "Who told you?"🤣
can someone give me movies that have the same satirical idea and sarcastic humour of this movie (like critiquing typical highschool movies vibe) that are they same light hearted vibe as this one with a funny main character
Man I genuinely forgot how funny this movie was. 😂
If you love watching Amanda Bynes, you should totally watch What A Girl Wants. It has Colin Firth in it and it's fucking hilarious! 😂
Big Fat Liar was my intro to Amanda Bynes. What A Girl Wants was my second film of hers.
Jaby laughing is so infectious!
15:50 thats an easter egg a call back to his role in Devil Wears Prada....
Don't worry, for years I thought Malcolm McDowell was Feyd in the original Dune movie before recently realizing it was actually Sting. It happens to the best of us.
Yeah, Olive’s parents are definitely a highlight for me ❤
the next generation of parents are definitely going to be like the parents in this movie. 😂
One of my all time favourite movies!

This movie was my favourite in comedic genre😅
We never got Emma Stone as Spidergwen, truly we live in the darkest timeline.
You can tell Steph didn't like the lower back tattoo part in the movie. I bet it hit right at home for her.
This is definitely my favorite Emma Stone movie. It’s so amazing and hilarious.
Same
BEST CINEMA PARENTS EVER!!! 😂❤
Jaby's react when Steph hasn't watched FRIENDS. You and me both 🤣
Still one of my fave movies!
Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson as Fun Parents >>>>>>>>>>
This movie is the best one of my favorite movies
I remember back before Emma Stone came into her own, she was often referred to as, "the girl who looks like Lindsay Lohan.

In my state of VA, u can go to highschool until 21
When i was a freshman there was a girl that was 21 she just needed a few credits to get her diploma
Ir's kind of awesome that she has TWO Oscars now ..

This is one of my favorite movies ever
I love this movie so much!
This is a great movie. I love Emma Stone. Ally Michalka, the actress who plays her friend, is pretty hot too. Her parents were awesome.
My favorite Emma Stone movie 💘💗😍
I love that they did the Ronald McDonald Miller lawnmower ride at the end.
If you havent seen Cant Buy Me Love its a fantastic film

idk why but when this was on showtime or hbo it would play constantly along with Night and Day and i watched them way too many times that month : p
the parents are the best thing in this movie.
The Parents are way too OP.😂
Easily my favorite teen movie (and romantic comedy, if it counts as one)
28:50 to be fair he LITERALLY only did what she LITERALLY put out to the whole school how was he supposed to know, Granted it was a slimes move but that’s LITERALLY what she gets paid for how does he no it’s fake!
It’s not so much Olive’s looks but how she talks and acts intimidates immature hs boys🤣💀
My sister's best friend had a horrible experience with her high school counselor. So she became a high school counselor. A really good one from what I hear.
I think Jaby would enjoy the movie Saved! with Jenna Malone and Mandy Moore.
20:30 STEPH SEBRAAAAAAAA, YOU HAVENT SEEN FRIENDS 😵
shoutout Steph my favorite reactor on the channel
Emily's best movie of all time ❤

Luckily at my school, the motto was to always listen to the student first, but that's so awful that happened to you.
Now all we need is a FRIENDS watch along with Steph, and I can die in peace😂 20:31
Omg is this the shortest intro ever? Doesn't matter, this movie is amazing. It never got the cult following Mean Girls got, but for me it's just as good. Emma Stone *delivers* as Olive. Her parents are amazing. And Penn Badgley is HOT and not creepy, for once.
You should watch YOU ❤❤ it's too good
"Is that Sting?" 🤣🤣🤣
If i were Olive id say "movie: the lady and the...."
woodchuck todd knowing where she lives is not stalkery they literally grew up together n carpool, he literally shows hes has a good memory
This is a classic, Almost feels like cult classic at this point.
6:27 I had that with ‘Merchant of Venice’ and I related to Portia.
Great reaction. You should check out Saved! It's a hidden gem of a movie.
Can't believe this movie is 14 years old!
I love this movie
Me too
