Summary: In this modern-day high school adaption of Scarlet Letter, Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) lies to her best friend Rhiannon (Alyson Michalka) about a sexual experiment. Rumors quickly spread and unintended consequences must be faced. The snowball effect starts when boys start paying Penderghast for "sex," but at a certain point, perception becomes reality.
Review: The supporting cast was strong with the family of Olive Pendergast and the film had its twists. It was entertaining for the majority of the film.
Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: When does a lying become okay? When does perception become reality?
Power Rating (Out of 5): 3 It had its moments of monotony, but Emma Stone's talents do shine. The premise of the film was intriguing as it was the retelling of an old story.
