"What?! Oh, my God! Who told you?!" I love that line delivery from Stanley Tucci. lol

[@mattburgess5697]

He’s fantastic in… well… everything. But I love this role. He’s hilarious and over-dramatic.

[@georgeh2299]

This is one of those movies that sneaks up on you. You think it will be ok, but it turns out to be a great movie you can watch multiple times over the years.

[@vtetrooo1312]

Oh my god so well put! At first I thought it would be a silly teen movie but wow it so much better! And really great for teens and some dramas! Love everything about it!

[@gaba-goo3733]

This and Bad Teacher with Cameron Diaz

[@hectortrujillo4311]

Yup, one of the few coming of age comedy movies actually worth watching

[@Strawild]

Watch Georgia Rule

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Nah that one is awful plus I don't like JT so yeah. @@gaba-goo3733

[@final_queer]

This movie really put Emma Stone on everyone's radar. She absolutely carried. The supporting cast is also insanely good. Also I love it when this dynamic duo get to react together.

[@therealMuNansen]

The "where are you from originally" was something Tucci was actually asking the other actor. The camera happened to be rolling, and they put it in.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

OMG that's hilarious XD

[@timothywhitfield8785]

While I didn't think it would 'suck' - I had no idea it would be this good. 13 years later it still holds up as one of the best teen comedies... right up there is the 80s and 90s stuff like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller etc etc...

[@samantha160]

“I’m adopted” “What! Who told you!?” That part gets me every time 😆

[@gyasis]

The funniest part about this to me is the crazy situations she finds herself in but her parents are so non toxic they either trust her completely or doesn't give a shit(we know which one it is) and in the end she figures it out.

[@raidengoodman8754]

I loved this movie. Emma Stone really nailed it. Also Stanley Tucci has perfect comedic timing 😂

[@Frostbite08]

The singing card scene lives in my head rent free.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

I always correlate that song with this movie now whenever I hear it on the radio XD

[@johannacaulfield7840]

This movie is so fun, but I definitely roll my eyes when Olive says that no one would've taken notice of her before all the rumors happened. Like, c'mon.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

@johannacaulfield7840 I feel the same way hearing her say she has a complete lack of allure, that's bullshit Emma Stone is gorgeous😍🤣

[@tallasianchick]

Olive is still portrayed as a high schooler. She's insecure.

[@MindofMike35]

This is such a comfort movie for me... Emma Stone doesn't get enough credit for how versatile she is!!!

[@AestheticallyAndrogynous]

Legit used to fall asleep to this movie for a span of time ❤

[@joshuacoldwater]

Emma Stone’s audition for this is still available here on KZbin, a lot of her filming was her looking directly into a small camera. She did most of the personal shots in November 2008. That allowed them to build the story around those major points. Consistently coming back to her and her camera. She also does a TON of narrative for this film. More than any other se come has ever needed. I truly believe that she is the only one who could’ve done this role. Anyone else would’ve folded.

[@AnnaB22]

I believe that Penn Badgley's character works because he was the "Sixteen Candles" Jake Ryan character. He is around the movie as the "decent" guy but we don't get any background information on him really. He was also not fully developed really. Would his parents send him to military school after that party at his home for destroying the Rolls Royce? Or, would it simply be "Oh, that crazy kid, he will grow out of it eventually." I say that Penn works because it is another homage to the eighty's films' male love interest character. He was John Cusack from "Say Anything". He was Amanda Mancini who was Ronald Miller's (Patrick Dempsey) female love interest from "Can't Buy Me Love." It fits the beautiful love interest who secretly has depth but you do not it because they usually are in different social spheres than our main characters. I loved that no matter what the rumor that was going around about Olive, Todd (Penn) already knew that none of it was true because of what she had done for him years earlier. So he never doubted her character - he knew who she was. He also was so much better than the other boys because he never told. Her reputation was never damaged by their earlier interaction. Which makes him great in my book.

[@이마크-r8e]

Ooooh another iconic movie! Loved this along with Mean Girls, White Chicks, and Legally Blonde.

[@hessu275]

This movie is definitely build on Emma's charisma. She's definitely one of my favorite actresses, La La Land being one of my favorites

[@codyt821]

La La land is so damn good on pretty much every level

[@djmaxipad6238]

I would say Penn Badgely's character in this is the male equivalent of the "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" trope🤣

In celebration of Macaulay Culkin getting his star on the Walk of Fame, I think you guys should react to the comedy/drama he’s in called Saved! It stars Jena Malone and Mandy Moore as well. It’s so underrated.

[@mage1439]

That is a great choice.

[@mandapanda2847]

Also The Good Son, it's more of a thriller/horror but it's got young Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood. Their acting in it is amazing.

[@daultonsmith7809]

I just watched this movie over my Thanksgiving break again and I absolutely loved this movie. Emma Stone is just so natural and likeable and everything I've seen her is, she's incredible. I think everyone in this movie did such a good job. Just a great viewing experience

[@papl20]

this is one of the more "modern" teen coming of age rom coms that obsessed me for a while, it was soooo freaking funny and cool, i loved how greg got all emotional with the conversation with the mom, i liked that line so much, dealing with sad live events with comedy

[@Anthonycheesman33]

Probably one of the last great coming of age comedies .

[@coachrd22]

Try 'The Way Way Back' (2013)

[@simplebull210]

“Crazy stupid love” is also a really good one from her, shes learning more adult things but the son and babysitter have their own coming of age stories integrated into the plot. Still one of the funniest and craziest twists in a rom-com

[@EchanteDante]

@@simplebull210not really all that funny though. It’s more of a drama with some jokes. Not terrible though.

[@cavaughngrace1488]

Emma Stone was so damn CUTE in this movie!!! And charming as hell! Loved her to pieces.

[@tornadochaser2457]

She always thought she was better than us... she's right, though.

[@jeanjacquesjell5431]

and what's kinda been subtly showed was she's actually one of if not the smartest kid in school like she actually read the book and obviously her vast vocabularies.

[@Spectreffex]

I feel like this slipped through the cracks so easily. I loved this movie, saw it at the movie theatre with my mum. A lot of people missed out on this hidden gem! It's on my yearly watch list.

[@Supergirl-rz8yi]

This is not only probably my favorite Emma Stone movie but one of my favorite movies ever. So happy to see you guys watch it I knew you were gonna love it! Stanley tuchie is a g.o.a.t.

This movie was the movie that made me fall in love with Emma Stone. That and Zombieland just sold me on her charisma and acting ability.

I already got there with Superbad, but yeah, this and Zombieland elevated it.

[@alexlazzerly3677]

"Where are you from originally" funniest line of the movie for me.

I love the Can’t Buy Me Love reference of riding away on a lawnmower. ❤️ so many 80s references!!!

[@teamkaboozles4910]

I love the point of adapting, another spiritual adaption I love is how 10 Things I Hate About You is Shakespeares Taming of the Shrew

[@prathapkutty7407]

This movie shows how incredibly charismatic, charming and versatile emma stone is. I have always wondered by she took a long hiatus from acting. She could've been and deserves to be a A list movie star by now.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Emma didn't take a hiatus from acting. She won an Oscar years later for La La Land. Got another nomination for The Favourite and starred in Cruella. She just recently won a very deserved 2nd Oscar for Best Actress in Poor Things. So she is undoubtedly A List.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

Great underrated movie and a good modernization of The Scarlet Letter. Two movie recommendations I have for you are both from 2011- The Adjustment Bureau and Limitless.

[@MisterKS7643]

This movie should be re-titled as "The Charm of Emma Stone" 'cause it basically showcases her in all of her glory.

[@JGonz92]

This was filmed at my high school! Nordhoff high school in ojai. Summer i was going into senior year. A lot of my friends were extras in this movie ans you can see a lot of them in a lot of scenes throughout. Still crazy they filmed there

[@Eternalsfan]

Is it expensive to live there lol? I need to leave the depressing hell scape i live in haha.

[@joeblankenship377]

Love this movie! Went into it, thinking it would be a basic teen comedy, then I was pleasantly surprised at how smart and witty it is. Easily my favorite Emma Stone movie. I give her performance an A.

[@plumdutchess]

She didn't end the marriage. Lisa Kudrow did that by sleeping with a student.

This has grown into one of my favourite movies. Everything is so spot on. Great cast, snappy editing, amazing script and Emma really nails it. Love her supportive parents. Sadly I feel in this kind of movies having actually reasonable parents is a rarity.

[@drodge72]

Emma is so great. She was and still is a breath of fresh air in a world where only a certain look can be a leading woman. Pretty cool to watch this and superbad again. Fell in love again 😅

[@michaeljeacock]

the guy wrote the script in about a week so Olive's family are all named after food and the boys who pay her are all named after fellow comedy directors including Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Jay Chandrasekhar. although Olive being an anagram of I love goes with the fact her surname Penderghast is an anagram of pretend shag.

[@mage1439]

I don't think there's another actress who could have pulled off this role (especially the narration). It's like it was made for Emma.

[@mycroft16]

Dad, I'm adopted? WHO TOLD YOU?!! God the family in this film is so damn funny. Also, this is why I have a lifelong crush on Emma Stone. She's really damn good in roles like this. You're going to answer to a higher power? Who? Tom Cruise?

[@aprr5366]

I just realized that Penn Badgley was in gossip girl and Cam Gigandet was in twilight and both movies are mentioned in this movie 😂

[@dancerkris95]

I know it doesn't go with what you were saying, but Cam and Stacy Tucci were both in Burlesque together.

[@thenerdywave2007]

This movie is so hilarious! Emma Stone is so great in this movie! 👍

[@dtgstl3148]

Penn Badgley is in fact only two years older than Emma Stone. The movie was filmed in the summer of 2009, when Stone was 20 and Badgley was 22.

[@jwtwfv]

I love watching random movies with y’all, this was a beautiful way to end my evening

The same creative team worked on "Friends with Benefits", in fact Emma Stone has a cameo on it, a long with Patricia Clarkson

This is totally our family. We get so judged for not being more “parental”.h However, what makes me more higher up or whatever than my kids. I respect them and they us. As long as they keep their rooms clean and get good grades that’s good for us. I speak to them as I would any other adult.

[@carriesmith742]

I always think of an old friend from work's husband whenever I see this movie because whenever someone mentioned it back when we worked together she would always say it was her husband's favorite movie.

[@Helen75Tubular]

It's true that Woodchuck Todd's character is under developed and we wish we knew more about him and his rapport with Olive in past and present. But I guess it is very common in many movies to have the protagonist's love interest be under written, if the plot does not revolve around their relationship. In most movies, it's a female character/love interest that this happens to.

[@sarahmacdonald955]

I think the truly frustrating thing about the movie is that the whole thing started not because she lied, she told the truth. Her "best friend" just said, "Nu uh. That's not right say something different." over and over and over UNTIL she lied. She tried to tell the truth and her "best friend" bullied her until she lied and then was like. "Oh now that I have the answer I want now I will believe you."

[@Missjunebugfreak]

This is why I hated her best friend. She was so obnoxious and didn't actually care about Olive.

I had to read the book that this is based on called “the scarlet letter” my junior year of high school and in my opinion it sucked but that could just be because I hated my English class that year. Had the worst teacher to ever exist and she looked and dressed exactly like Edna mode from the incredibles.

[@mage1439]

There's also the fact that writing from that time was so different. The way people wrote, and even the way they told stories, was so different to how we do it now that it's hard to really get into them. Frankenstein is the only really old book I was able to get into.
