Drew's Thoughts:I am thankful that Colleen wanted to watch this as I had already written it off as a lame teen comedy, when in fact, it's actually the best teen comedy I've seen in a while. Emma Stone (one of the few legit nominees in this year's Golden Globes comedy categories) provides a truly charismatic performance in this re-imagining of The Scarlett Letter. The film features hilarious moments, throughout, a likable heroine you can get behind, and a few great supporting performances as well--mainly talking about Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci here as Stone's parents.
What I really liked about the film was that the humor was never too broad, it stays within genre boundaries without sacrificing smarts which is a rare thing indeed. Definitely worth seeing, could be a dark horse in the Dolphin race. (Thanks for the suggestion Colleen!)
