Easy A is a comedy about a girl in high school who lies about her sex life. It all started as an excuse to get out of a camping trip, but after the whole school found out, other people were asking her to lie more. Men who wanted to change their reputation went to Olive to ask her to say she slept with them in exchange for money or gift cards. Eventually this began to really hurt her. She had no friends and the whole school was turned against her. Expect for one guy. He later helps her to tell the whole truth to the school, by having her sing to the school and announce she is doing a webcast. At the end of the movie they go on a date.

         I had expected that the movie would pass the Bechdel Test because there are a few conversations between mother and daughter that are not about men. Even though the movie did pass, it did not pass with conversations between the two. They never say the name of Olive's mom. I did some research and find out her character name, but they never mention it in the movie. However, Olive does have a conversation with her friend Rhiannon about going on a camping trip. Eventually Olive says she can't because she is hanging out with a guy, but she doesn't bring it up until the end. Because of the story line, men tend to show up and some point of the conversations, but that is not usually the point of the conversations. They tend to be something more personal between the two women. There is one conversation that happens between Olive and Rhiannon that has nothing to do with a man. Rhiannon joined a protest group to get Olive out of the school. The signs call her a slut, but when Olive sees her friend, she goes up to her to ask why she is joining them. Rhiannon expresses her anger and continues to protest.  

       I believe you could argue either way whether this movie is feminist or not. I think if you decide to read it that way, you could find evidence, but I personally wouldn't consider it feminist. I think the point is to over exaggerate high school experiences to show just how much someone can be hurt.
