We can only relate to the youth of movies with a reference to THE SIMPSONS.

That's still hip right?

We finish our tour of lying about sex in high school across cinematic generations by both justifying titillation (thank you, WILD THINGS) and condemning it (go kick rocks, ASSASSINATION NATION.) Which leaves us to say mostly nice things about the charms of EASY A while acknowledging that its setup only really works if you have the movie star charm of Emma Stone.

And thank god Bo Burnham's EIGHTH GRADE was not involved in this filth!
