Emma Stone is what we all hoped Lindsey Lohan would turn into after Parent Trap. Too bad LiLo picked her drug of choice instead of acting. I give Ms. Stone one year to either sink or swim as hollywood's "it" girl for satirical comedies about HS. The film was a solid B+ with plenty of funny moments. The grown ups - Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Haden Church, and Lisa Kudrow - tried to be extra funny a little too often. Hence, the B grade. Ms. Stone's spot on performance as a sharp-tongued Molly Ringwald of today brought the film up to a B+. But, it wasn't as hilarious as Mean Girls, a strikingly similar satirical comedy about HS, which I would give an easy A...oh the puns! Rating - Redbox it. It's not quite worth the theater money.
