'Easy A' (2010)
Rotten Tomatoes: 85% | IMDb: 7.0/10
Emma Stone (Cruella) is flawless in the teen-focused romantic comedy Easy A. Loosely influenced by The Scarlet Letter, Easy A follows Olive (Stone) as she uses school gossip to manipulate her social standings. Brimming with a stacked cast, Amanda Bynes stands out as the straight-laced mean girl in the film, while Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson steal the film as Olive’s aspirational parents. Penn Badgley solidified his teen heartthrob status in Easy A, a title he held until breaking out in You. Easy A is a delightful film inspired by a literary classic that’s perfect for a teen movie night with a group of girlfriends. – Yael Tygiel

Written by, directed by, and starring Jesse Eisenberg, A Real Pain follows Eisenberg’s David and his enigmatic cousin Benji (Kieran Culkin) as they take a trip through Poland in memory of their late grandmother. However, as family history boils to the surface, so do the pair’s frustrations with one another. Featuring a perfectly assembled supporting cast, A Real Pain is nothing short of genius. Culkin’s performance, in particular, might be the actor’s best yet, with his Golden Globe win and subsequent Academy Award nomination illustration enough. - Jake Hodges
