The parents are the best
"High-End stripper. For governors."
“I’m adopted”
“WHO TOLD YOU?”
*or athletes
The parents in this movie are the best
@@DeathnoteBB this is reupload.
@@youtubeisracist890 I’m quoting the movie, what do reuploads have to do with my comment?
Olive's parents are named Rosemary and Dill. Guess she was lucky she didn't end up named Cilantro.
OH MY GOD
Her little brother is called Chip, and she has an unseen older brother at college, called Kale. In the original script, Olive was also supposed to have a little sister named Ginger.
@@trinaqEasy A? More like Easy Alfredo 😂😂
justs just all sorts of painful lol
😂😂
The scene where Olive’s dad asks her adoptive brother “where are you from originally?” Is one of the funniest lines I’ve seen in a movie in a long time.
"Who told you?!" Was really funny bit
XD
I laughed so hard at that part XD
@@CatCheshire😂😂😂
Stanley Tucci is a national treasure
omg!!! we were going to wait for the right time!!!!
Stanley Tuccis "WHAT? OH MY GOD. WHO TOLD YOU?" when their son points out he's adopted is one of the funniest moments in any movie I've ever seen.
Stanley could read the dictionary and make it sound cool.
I’m adopted and my dad and I still quote it 😭😭😭
I still laugh so hard at that every time 😂😂 his delivery is perfection. I'm adopted as well so it's a lasting joke 🤣
I know!!
"where are you from?" sends me every time. Best movie parents ever i swear😂
They may require the most suspension of disbelief, but Olive’s parents are by far my favorite part of the movie. Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson absolutely nailed the “well-meaning but oh-so-slightly out of touch” vibe.
I don't know if I would call them out of touch, though. They check in with her multiple times throughout the movie. They wait for her to reach out to them before they intervene, but they are always there for her.
@@thegazetteytYeah, it seems they just trust her completely and believe she is capable of handling it on her own.
@@thegazetteyt I think they mean out-of-touch with the lingo stuff not with their kids lol Like typical parents how they use memes or words in the wrong context.
these two gave me the most insane healing every time I watched the movie
@@Schnipps Spot-on. The dad’s “No judgment [for “having a homosexual boyfriend”], all god’s children, I was gay…once” speech is probably my favorite scene in the movie.
I frickin love Stanley Tucci as the dad. "WHO TOLD YOU YOU WERE ADOPTED?!"
to a very obvious adopted son 😆
Even funnier later in the movie. “So where are you from?”
@@ulikemykungfu3995 so many quotable Stanley Tucci moments in this film 😆
'pocketful of sunshines' is stuck in my head to this day and I associate it with this movie
I associate it with the princess diaries
I associate it with my high school best friend who absolutely butchered it at the annual talent show, twice. 🥲
Same.
Same. This movie comes to mind and the trailer for “My Life in Ruins”.
Sunshine, not sunshines.
Now that I'm rewatching the movie. Doesn't anyone think that it's weird that teachers were also watching her "Webcam show". What did they expect to see?
😅lets not think about it too hard😭
I like to think the teacher only tuned in after he heard some students complaining that she was just telling a story and wasn't stripping or anything.
Marianne's pastor dad on the other hand... he's not seeing Heaven.
@@wildboywifey6485 I believe that the literature professor was watching it mostly because she went to apologize and he notices something was off when everything started, so he just put the pieces together
I choose to believe that her lit teacher specifically had a lot of faith in her as a person, so he knew something was up.
It’s more specifically played as a joke with Fred Armisen’s pastor character, though, so who knows.
That does seem strange.
Alex Meyers reviewing cheesy teen movies is like the sun shining, and water being wet.
This movie ain’t cheesy it’s well written
Is water wet tho
@@monkehman979I mean water do veporades so it doesnt stay wet all the time
@@monkehman979 I will say this once and only once, a paper with no water on it is dry, a paper with a single water molecule on it is wet. A single molecule of water isn't wet, but if you have two drops, it's wet. so if you are talking about 1 water molecule, no, it isn't. If you are talking about anything that the human eye is capable of identifying as water, then yes, water is wet. this is a dumb argument
That's, why I'm here - Oobie Doobie Benoobie
my parents were like that! at 17, I tried to steal a stupid ring , got caught, they called my parents and I was so sure I would be grounded for life ! But my dad said:'' hey, you kinda stink at this, maybe dont do it again ?!'' 🤣 I followed his advise !
Same! It was so nice to see a parent-child relationship like mine that wasn't full of drama and hatred, just totally chill and normal
I got caught by the police for public drinking while being underage (it was just a beer and I was a week before 18 so it wouldn't have mattered that much soon) and detained. My parents went to pick me up and dad came into the police station singing "prison songs" (we have a whole ass genre for that in Russia). Then he went:"I'm glad you actually made it to the police before 18! I was worried you wouldn't make it but here you are - THAT'S my daughter!" And next time I went out my mom just casually threw at me:"Don't get imprisoned this time sweetie!"
@@chainsawmassacre6155 i kind of love this
@chainsawmassacre6155 that's sweet lol
@@chainsawmassacre6155 Don't get imprisoned this time sweetie!" Amazing 🤣🤣
It truly is shocking how the most unrealistic part of the movie is how healthy the relationship between Olive and her parents are 😂
*turns hair into a Mohawk with my conditioner* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is having a good relationship with your parents unrealistic ?!?
@@iriswaldenburger2315 Because parents have expectations. My mother's were unbearable. If you didn't do things her way, you did them the wrong way. On the other hand, my father is pretty much the opposite and says "Try it out.". What do you think is worse? Complete rejection or indifference?
@@r4nd0mguy99We need a perfect balance of both
@@iriswaldenburger2315 Because it is rarer than it should
The best part was Olive's brother causally mentioning that he's adopted, only for his dad to jokingly yell "Who told you?!" Also, it's a little bizarre to see Joe Goldberg as a genuine nice guy.
with the exception of joe goldberg, penn badgley usually plays the nice guy trope
This and the house bunny are two movies that you can watch again and again and never get tired. Emma stone is absolutely incredible in this movie though
Replace The house bunny with The hot chick and I agree
She's a hot piece of ace! OwO
My two movies that I watched on repeat as a kid
Omg me too! 👹Oliver👹
dude and she's the man something that you can watch again and again and never get tired
Fun fact: in the script, the best friend is in love with the main character, but it is just hinted at in the movie*
edit: fixed an error lol god forbid someone makes a typo on youtube
So in the script it's a fact but also only hinted at?
@@xelthos2051 yeah this comment isn't making much sense 😊
I feel so dyslexic reading this 😂
@@xelthos2051it’s worded poorly, but an earlier version of the script had Rhiannon in love with Olive. The final version of the script only vaguely alludes to those feelings.
I think you mean it's only hinted at in the movie
I just noticed that Olive mentions the guy she's going on a date with in the beginning of the movie as "a friend of her brother who's in college", but said brother is never mentioned again.
what if she just lied about having a brother
@@sahrakkfun8770Rhiannon is supposed to be her best friend tho? I think she’d know if olive were lying about having another brother
Okay but the way Olive talks to her parents is just how I talk to my dad. "I don't have an STD." / "Daughter of the year!" feels like an exchange we'd have
This and Mean Girls are iconic movies for sure.
I could rewatch those 2 movies forever 😂
Hmm Cruel Intention, Not another teen moives. Breakfast club, this cannot be remake ever...
The casting was truly impeccable.
Especially Amanda bynes
@@pleaseshutup7053 Cultural reset
The parents were great, the adopted scene lives in my head in my chuckle file
This movie deserves more of a fan base like “Mean Girls” or “Legally Blonde”.
I think the fan base for this movie seems nearly on-par with those two movies. At this point, I wouldn't even be surprised if this movie gets its own broadway musical like them. I mean, Heathers got a musical and that movie has _more_ of a cult status compared to this one.
Rihannon is in love with Olive, the original script had the narrator say so, but they didn't keep it in lines.
**Rhiannon I killed this name lol
@@user-go9mw6jd9mlol 💀
@@user-go9mw6jd9mI think it was good that they never mentioned it

I wouldn't always do that 😅 I do for a lot I don't care about but this movie is so fun
Tbh, same😅😂👍
14:48 is THE best line in the movie.
Your reaction to this movie is completely generational.
As someone in their 40s, the parents in this movie are the BEST part of this movie. This is one of the better (if not the best) teen Rom-Coms to come out of the 2010s. Yeah, olive acts a lot older than is expected, but wouldn't you with parents like that? The nuance of her family dynamic is what grounds her, and they check in with her all the time in the movie.
Her favorite teacher is cool, how she mends the relationship with her bff by setting up boundaries works. There are a lot of subtle things in the movie that work outside the slap you in the face premise.
7:11 I never really understood slut-shaming OR virgin-shaming back when I was in high school for this movie too. Pop culture keeps making a big deal about either of those extremes, and they're usually full of sexist double standards. For example, "boys can't be virgins" or "girls can't be sluts" and other sorts of peer pressure. The word "slut" as an insult kind of loses its meaning half of the time when describing two people in a CONSENUAL relationship. The same goes for "virgin" being used as an insult on people who don't want to have sex or choose to wait.
The 80s-early 00s had weird morals like that. Britney Spears announced she was a virgin. How weird was that?? Why did her marketing team think it was any of our business? It was a wild time
Eh, slut shaming I can understand, like it’s not a good thing for people to sleep with multiple random people without an emotional connection, for one, the risk of STDs and pregnancy gets higher with every partner, and also if the majority of someone’s relationships with people are sexual then they will struggle with non sexual relationships, this isn’t a brag, but from personal experience I can say that majority of my relationships or friendships with woman during my slut era were all based around sex, I joined clubs just to hang out with the girls I thought were hot, I only talked to girls to have sex, not to be friends, not to get homework help, not for anything but sex, and I only know that was part of being a slut because now that I’m in a committed relationship, my relationships and friendships with woman are completely different, that’s just my two cents, it’s a free country do what you want, but a little shame is good sometimes
I went to a boys only school. Never seen virgin shaming but we did slut shame both girls and boys though. Though, I am in south asia.
@@burtreynolds8030"the risk of STDs and pregnancy gets higher with every partner"
I am not exactly sure if this correct probability wise.
I like how he always says “ok back to the show” after the sponsorship even tho sometimes it’s a movie😂
And also the fact that he has SO MANY SURFSHARK SPONSORS IS INCREDIBLE
I thought the “show” was his review. Like, the video itself…
The show is his video
"Back to the show" is just a saying tho, doesn't necessarily have to mean a tv show, any sort of display of smth can count 😂
"Back to the show" is a common video phrase, like "don't touch that dial" or "but now a word from our sponsor"
I’ll admit. My parents were sort of like this. We still definitely had the moments where they wouldn’t listen to me and I wouldn’t listen to them, but for the most part, I was super lucky. I could talk to them about anything, and they always had my back (they still do) 💜
The Yu-Gi-Oh frame for “V-Card” is the best part of this video.
Dan Byrd really should get more mainstream roles in Hollywood. The speech that he gives about how hard it is to be gay really yanked at my heartstrings.
i remember him in a cinderella story. he's a great actor
Great in Cougar Town.
Easy A is the modern day adaptation of The Scarlet Letter
Yup. 10 Things is Taming the Screw and Clueless is Emma.
@@sakunaruful and West Side Story is Romeo and Juilet, She's the Man is Twelfth Night, and She's All That is My Fair Lady or Pygmalion.
@@sunspotmill1291 All true.
I wish I had Olives parents. When I watched this movie I would always smile and dream about it.
there's a whole jar in the fridge 💜
I’ve had a crush on Emma Stone since Zombieland but this movie solidified that crush.
The pocketful of sunshine scene lives rent free in my head to this day - emma stone absolutely killed it in this role and the entire cast is hilarious. Like do the parents make sense as actual parents? No, I doubt most parents are like this. Do they steal every scene they're in? Yes, yes they do.
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, ooh oh oh
Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, ooh oh oh…
😂😂😂😂🚿
the oh a oh oh is the only way to sing that part of the song now.
Emma Stone was also in The House Bunny as well!
Another underrated movie. So good!
@@introverted_unicorn It is really underrated and I love the Comedy in it!
@@FTChomp9980 I hope he ends up doing a video on it. Anna Farris is amazing in it. I wanna go back and rewatch it. There are so many good 1 liners
I still find this movie hilarious. I agree the parents aren’t great at being the best real life parents but for this movie they are hilarious and it adds to just a loving family between everyone. The line that follows “but I’m adapted” cracks me up every time
Man, Inuyasha is one of my fave manga. But when it started airing on Toonami, I fell in love with that theme song.
Can’t wait for him to do the Bionicle movies
Olive's parents were honestly my favourite part of this movie. My cousin had me watch it with them and told me about the scene in the kitchen, when the little brother says he's adopted, and the parent's response to it. I was immediately intrigued to watch, and that scene was preformed beautifully. It was so nice and refreshing to have likeable and understanding parents in this. Like, regardless of what people might say about their kids, they know their kids well enough to be able to tell if it's the truth or not. And that was nice to see.
To this day, Easy A is still one of my go-to feelgood movies
since 2010 easy A has been my favourite movie. Honestly, it still is! Just a solid fun, quirky, enjoyable movie that I would literally watch at any time in any mood on any given day
3:40 DONT YOU DARE DISRESPECT THOMAS HADEN CHURCH. Mans is a legend

This was one of the few movies that got me out of my house and into a theater. I saw the trailer and immediately went "I HAVE to see that!".
I love this movie, after all these years, it's still amazing lol
you have no idea how long i have waited for this day to arrive.. easy a is an all-time favorite! emma stone carried this movie and i am forever grateful
The male teacher plays Lyle in George of the Jungle. Loved that movie as a kid 😅👏
These videos are basically how I know the plots of these movies and I’m all for it
the highest praise my son has ever given me is 'you're just like the Mum'. so of course him and i throw the lines back and forth! nice word play! you must be related to me! only by marriage. its nice to know we are all sitting here reciting it together. i also give off todd mopping energy when im in A bad mood. killing it I WANNA BE AT WORK

"Highscool is just like everybody writing fanfic about eachother for some reason" is one of the truest thing I've ever heard
ICONIC FILM THO
7:37 Hey, as a foreigner, is this realistic to American schools? I seem to have seen this scenario in movies multiple times: a bully says or does something horrid to (usually) the main character and the main character returns the favour. And even though the teacher clearly saw who the perpetrator was, only the self-defending student gets in trouble. Does this normally happen?
I'm not American but it happened quite a bit in my school. I think it might ubiquitous, probably because teachers don't think punishing the bully would yield any results.
I don't know if it is just America, maybe it happens a lot here because we have often so many kids in one classroom for one teacher to keep track of they miss what actually happened. Personally, I did get in a huge pile of trouble because I left an uncomfortable situation that was escalating with two of my grade school classmates, no teachers were there to witness it and I got yelled at for leaving a mess I didn't create! 😕
A lot of American schools have what’s called “zero tolerance” policies regarding bullying and violence which means all students gets punished, including any retaliators. School administration is general is just notoriously bad at knowing and empathizing with their students in general so victims are often blamed without evidence. I’m sure similar things happen in other countries without proper student mediation or supervision deal with this too.
Very often.
The Inuyasha theme songs and ending songs are fire omgggg
That scene in the bathroom is ICONIC. Everybody fine as hell & queenin' in their own way! 😍
Yesss, I love this movie - this came out when I was in high school, I loved it then and now looking back I realize how influential it was on me
Bro being in high school and hearing Alex say stuff like imagine somebody actually having a crush on you through high school is so real dude😂😂
Easy A is so underrated!!!!! it’s a modern day John Hughes movie, which was intentional,. Emma Stone is amazing, she instantly became my favorite actress. She so funny and beautiful
Emma stone and keely from phil from the future really was a awakening for 14 year old me

Thank you Alex for letting me know about movies and TV shows I’ve never heard of before
The first line in the movie is golden, forgot how good this movie was.
Todd is low key the best love interest in all of movies.
He goes trough this whole arc offscreen where he goes from this shy kid to scared to kiss a girl, to this guy enthusiastically dancing in a bever costume and singing to little kids with a crab on his head, his lack of confidence made way for him to become truly confident in himself.
He is also always there when he is needed, and not pushy about it as well. He is supporting Olive in his own way, listening to what she is saying and responding to how she feels, all without expectations of anything else.
And that ending when he is standing outside her window with a mp3 player and a lawn mower is all a cumulation of what Olive told him she wanted out of romance, down to the song he is playing.
No but the edit at 7:48 is just 🤌 chef's kiss

For some reason I can't explain, this became almost an instant favorite to me. I saw it way after it first came out, but that's good because I could understand all the jokes, meanings behind things (at least mostly) and enjoy it all-around. I haven't seen it in a while now, but looking back it really has some heavy stereotypes and of the such, but for some reason, for this movie, they seem to work.
Glad to have your review and thoughts on it. Unto the next one!
