Quick Movie Reviews: It's Kind Of A Funny Story and Easy A

It's Kind Of A Funny Story: This was an offbeat film. It blends comedy and drama together pretty nicely. I liked the story and it had a very real charm to it. Zack Galinfinakis shows a different of himself in a more serious role. There is some comedy to it, but it's a much more mature role and as always, he is great. At times it gets a little too indie for it's own good and Keir Gilchrist(who portrays the main character Craig) is annoying at times Though not without it's flaws, This was an enjoyable and touching film.
3.5/5 Stars

Easy A: This is going to come as a big surprise, but I actually enjoyed this film alot. I found it to be a very amusing and original film. I was expecting a bland, by-the-number romantic comedy and what I got was a sweet and surprisingly very funny flick. Emma Stone was great in the lead and her character is smart, charismatic, and funny as hell. She nailed the role and she really is a fantastic comic actress. The supporting cast added a lot too. Stanley Tucci steals the show as Emma Stone's extremely liberal dad, he has the some of the best lines whole film. Easy A was a really pleasant surprise.
4/5 Stars
