My Review-

I think that I fell more in love with Emma Stone after watching this movie. This was a pretty damn funny from the whole entire cast, especially from Stone's on-screen Parents; Clarkson and Tucci, they were perfect as her parents I could not quite see anyone else doing as good as job as they did. One person I did not seeing doing a good job like she did was Amanda Bynes, her character was funny as Olive's sort of rival at the school or person who was trying to "save" her from her bad doings. This was Emma Stone's first role as the lead and she carried the movie very well as Olive Penderghast. I also love how there was references to hit movies from the 80s that were about high school, that was kind of in Stone's situation. This was one of the more funnier movies that I have seen in a long time, I think it is because some of the comedic timing was just right for this movie, from everyone in the movie, the only thing that I had a problem with in this movie, even though she was not in it for that long was Lisa Kudrow, to me I just do not think she is that funny. The movie also had good music, especially the recurring joke of "Pocketful of Sunshine", from Natasha Benningfield. Well I did like this movie, I kind of hoped that the parents were in the movie a little more because Clarkson and Tucci made the movie even funnier during the scenes at Olive's house. If you have not seen this movie I do recommend watching it is a good funny movie, that does not stop being funny even during some of the more serious scenes it has some hints of still being funny. Know one that I can think go could have played the character of Olive better than Emma Stone did, she was perfect for the role. So was the supporting cast; all were funny in the roles they were in and did not seem to over do it while in character. I do recommend watching this movie.
