Continuity mistake: When Olive is at the ice cream store near the end of the film, she picks up a chocolate-coated cone off the counter and crushes it in her hand. However, in the next shot (as Olive walks away), the cone reappears intact.
Easy A (2010)
Directed by: Will Gluck
Starring: Emma Stone, Patricia Clarkson, Malcolm McDowell, Lisa Kudrow, Thomas Haden Church, Amanda Bynes, Dan Byrd, Penn Badgley
Continuity mistake: In the restaurant scene when Olive is on a date with Anson, after the waitress sets their food down on the table, Olives bib begins changing positions between shots. In one shot it is tied around her neck. In the next, it appears tucked into her shirt down on her chest. The bib goes back and forth several times before she finally takes it off. (01:10:30)
Continuity mistake: After Olive has been to the principal's office, when she and Rhiannon are walking to their car, in the front-on shot they are leaning on each other. But in the immediately following shot from behind, they are standing about a foot apart.
Olive Penderghast: Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life.
Marianne: There's a higher power that will judge you for your indecency.
Olive Penderghast: Tom Cruise?
Brandon: Do you wanna go out with me?
Olive Penderghast: Brandon, just a couple of hours ago you told me you were gay.
Brandon: You said I should pretend to be straight.
Olive Penderghast: I didn't mean with me!
Brandon: I am tormented every day at school. Just one good, imaginary fling.
Question: Why didn't the teacher get fired after being caught sleeping with a student? In most cases a teacher wouldn't be able to be at that school whether he is of age or not, I don't think parents would like the thought of a teacher sleeping with students is still teaching at that same school and her husband is a teacher as well.
Answer: I don't believe she was ever officially caught seducing a student, her husband found but never told. He wants a divorce, and he knew she would agree to any settlement to keep it quiet.

Answer: It wasn't just that Rhiannon believed that Olive had slept with someone. She was angry and upset over the new trampy behavior that Olive was taking on to become more "popular."
