Easy A (2010) is the last significant box-office success in the
high-school teen movie subgenre and a film that has already been
deemed a 'classic' by many cultural commentators and popular film
critics. By applying interdisciplinary insight to a relatively
overlooked movie in academic discussion, Easy A: The End of the
High-School Teen Comedy? is the first in-depth volume that places
the movie within several key contexts and concepts of
intertextuality, gender, genre and adaptation, and social
discourse. Through the unpacking of a complex narrative that draws
its plot from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850) and
shares affinities with John Hughes' paradigmatic films from the
1980s and key films from the 1990s, this volume presents Easy A as
a palimpsest for the millennial generation. Clear and
comprehensive, the book argues that Easy A marks the end of the
commercially successful high-school teen comedy and discusses the
reasons through a comparative synchronic and semi-diachronic
historical comparison of the film with contemporary cinematic texts
and those of the 1980s and 1990s.
