10 Things Vs Easy A

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I've only seen Easy A once, and 10 Things has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. I am planning on buying Easy A, though. It was HILARIOUS. Maybe it's just because it's new material, but I think I like Easy A a little bit better. Mind you, Penn is NO Heath. He isn't even a Joseph.

Easy A.

I like 10 Things, a lot, but... it's actually really stupid, IMO. Way too much damn music, the bands/singers featured (a 90s teen flick trend that I HATE), some really cringe-worthy dialogue and it's way too long.
Regardless, it has some funny lines and it has Heath Ledger, so of course it's worth watching many times.

And for nostalgic purposes? Oh definitely. Massive love for late 90s/early 00s movies. But it just has too many flaws for me to really love it.

Easy A is smarter and the kind of snarky wit that I enjoy. I like the protagonist more, as well.

10 Things without a doubt. The chemistry between the two leads is fantastic. I absolutely love 90ies teen flicks!

I think that Easy A is the best teen comedy since Mean Girls came out in 2004.

ANd Mean Girls was the best teen comedy since 10 Things... came out, so I think they all compliment each other.

The years may change, the fashion may change and the actors may be different, the wit and the same issues seem to be there in each of them.

I think the best teen movies are ones that don't necessarily set out to be taken seriously, but then are usually received as ones that resonate most with teens years on.

I loved them both. 10 Things is such a great little classic though a little old now and Easy A is such a great new teen movie. I would have to say 10 things is my favorite because I have such great memories related to it.

10 Things was a way better adaptation than Easy A. Easy A ignored a lot of the symbols, themes, and details of The Scarlet Letter so it would make a better comedy when in fact The Scarlet Letter is actually a very depressing and dreary book, which I'm sure a lot of people already know. The Taming of the Shrew is more readily adaptable into a teen comedy/romantic comedy because as a play it pretty much already is a classic romantic comedy set-up with witty banter and gender antagonism between the two love interests.
In my opinion, Juno would probably have been a better adaptation to The Scarlet Letter than Easy A. Also, even though Easy A itself is a teen film and pays homage to the John Hughes teen films, it pretty much insulted 10 Things when Thomas Haden Church's character Mr. Griffith made that crack about not turning the text of The Scarlet Letter into a rap like some teacher in a cheesy teen film (which happened in 10 Things and is the whole setup for Kat's poem recitation/breakdown at the end).

Also, I don't think Easy A and Mean Girls are similar at all. Mean Girls is based on a non-fiction book and had deeper insight into teenage girl sociology and psychology and offered theories and tentative solutions while Easy A is merely a paltry and loose parody of The Scarlet Letter that tried to offer insight into why/how rumors spread but didn't really deliver in the social commentary on female vs. male gender and/0r sexual politics.

10 things was more interesting and better storyline and acting

10 Things by far. Easy A is average at best.
