Out of all the characters Stanley Tucci has played in his 40-plus years career, there’s one in particular that he relates to the most.

While making a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show to promote his new Netflix movie, The Electric State, the Oscar-nominated actor was asked by guest host Kal Penn, “Which of your characters is most like you in real life?”

He quickly answered: “Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada! He’s very stylish, and he can be a bit caustic. But he’s got a good heart.”

He playfully added, “I mean, I think I have a good heart.”

Tucci starred alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in the 2006 classic as the fashion-obsessed art director at Runway magazine. Throughout the film, he takes Andy (Hathaway) under his wing and helps her navigate working as the assistant to Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Streep.)

Tucci commented last...

Quite a few movies based upon books are excellent, but some definitely are not. The 1995 Roland Joffé-directed adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's seminal novel "The Scarlet Letter" is perhaps one of the strongest examples of an adaptation that just didn't work, and for a variety of reasons. The film was absolutely decimated by critics upon its release and has a measly 13% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the most heavily-criticized aspect being the screenplay by Douglas Day Stewart, who also, bafflingly, wrote the Oscar-nominated script for "An Officer and a Gentleman." Perhaps his success with the romantic elements of that movie led Stewart to believe that turning Hawthorne's novel -- which is about an adulteress in 17th century Puritan Massachusetts trying to live her life after the fact -- into a kind of sultry tragic romance was a good idea, but the final result was a massive disaster. 

Joffé's "Scarlet...

After 50 seasons on NBC, only 167 people have joined the coveted cast of “Saturday Night Live” with a select few sticking around for 10 or more seasons.

The sketch series has kickstarted several cast members’ careers to a new heights, some so big you may have forgotten they started on the show: Billy Crystal, Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, Laurie Metcalf and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, to name a few.

But several cast members’ careers are defined by the impact of the sketch show. Kenan Thompson has spent 22 seasons on the show, almost half of the series’ tenure.

Keep reading for a full breakdown of the longest running SNL cast members.

Thompson is the longest running cast member on SNL with many of his fellow cast members joking that when he leaves the show will end. The comedian has played several iconic characters during his tenure on the show,...

Emma Stone has proven herself a versatile actress throughout her career, but her comedic sensibilities have always shined through in her most celebrated performances, including her two Oscar-winning roles in La La Land and Poor Things. Three years after her film debut in Superbad, Stone helmed a high school comedy of her own with her first lead role in Easy A, which earned her the first of her six Golden Globe nominations. In Easy A, Stone plays Olive Pendergast, an unpopular high school student who becomes the talk of the school when a rumor spreads that she lost her virginity.

Actress Emma Stone has been a staple in Hollywood for many years, after skyrocketing to fame with comedies like Superbad (2007) and Easy A (2010). She continued to make a name for herself in the industry with dozens of other roles and won two Academy Awards for Best Actress, for La La Land in 2017 and Poor Things in 2024. However, she's more than just a movie star — she's dominating the field behind the camera as well.

In 2020, Emma Stone and her husband, Dave McCary — a segment writer and director for Saturday Night Live, whom she met while hosting the show in 2016 — founded a production company called Fruit Tree. They also brought producer Ali Herting onto the team and landed a two-year first-look television deal with A24. Since its inception, Fruit Tree has produced several TV and film projects, nearly all of which have received rave reviews, and some of the best were released...

The film centers on realtor Marvin Gable, who loves his job and very ordinary life. But when he suddenly gets an unexpectedly valentine from his crazy ex-girlfriend, he gets ripped back into his old life — one of violence and crime.

“Love Hurts” marks Ke Huy Quan’s first-ever leading role, as realtor Marvin Gable. It also marks his first film role since his Oscar-winning turn in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Of course, you might also recognize him from “The Goonies” or “Indiana Jones.”

If you’re feeling nostalgic for the golden age of quirky teen comedies, you’re in luck. Emma Stone’s breakout hit, Easy A,a film that perfectly captures the late-2000s vibe, is now streaming for free on Tubi. The movie is basically The Scarlet Letter but modern, snarky, satirical, and in a high school. Stone stars as Olive Penderghast, an ordinary high schooler who tells a harmless little lie about losing her virginity to boost her social status, which many of us have probably done and some probably still do. No judgment. But in true high school fashion, that lie snowballs into full-blown chaos. Suddenly, Olive’s gone from invisible to infamous, rocking a scarlet “A” on her chest (quite literally) and navigating a minefield of gossip, high school nonsense, shenanigans, and more.

Tubi might not be as big as some of the other popular streaming services, but it does have some of the best movies and TV shows of recent times, and that too for absolutely free. The Fox-owned streaming service adds a ton of new monthly content to its ever-expanding library. So, we thought of compiling a list of the best movies coming to Tubi in February 2025.

Long before she was a two-time Academy Award-winning actor able to tackle some of the toughest, weirdest roles in cinema and television, Emma Stone was just a young actor trying to make it in a cutthroat industry. After a number of TV guest spots in small roles, including a hilarious bit on "Malcolm in the Middle" where she played a bully beefing with the Wilkerson family matriarch, Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), Stone would eventually garner attention with the 2006 hit comedy "Superbad," which was responsible for both her trademark red hair and her career taking off. Before that, however, she played an integral but tiny role on the Disney Channel hit kids show "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody," although it's absolutely impossible to spot her.

"The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" followed twins Zack and Cody Martin (Dylan and Cole Sprouse), who live in the suite of the Tipton Hotel in Boston.

February sees several anime titles releasing on Hulu. From dubbed episodes of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations to the season finale of Dragon Ball: Daima, there are tons of great shows you won't want to miss. We also have great films like Kill Bill, Easy A, and Titanic coming to the streamer. Here's everything coming to Hulu in February 2025.

International film biz pros may be gearing up for the Berlinale and its European Film Market in February, but most of Europe’s top buyers were already back on the circuit last week for the Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris showcasing French movies, series and talent.

The market component of the 27th edition, running January 14 to 17, swapped its recent location of the swanky Champs-Elysées Avenue eighth arrondissement for the grittier but storied Left Bank neighborhood of Montparnasse.

More than 80 French film and TV sales companies set up residence in the hangar-like Espace Pullman in the shadow of the Montparnasse Tower, to showcase their new French-language wares to 500 buyers from roughly 40 mainly European territories.

After years of being crammed into separate rooms, it was the first time France’s film and TV sales sectors were together in the same space and there was a different kind of energy.

“There’s a real market feel this year,...

Say goodbye to those New Year greetings and memes, because February is almost here. Time to really sink our teeth into 2025 and how it’ll look, and of course that means beefing up your watchlist. As always the libraries of Hulu and Disney+ (and multiple available bundles) are here to help, with new shows and movies (both family friendly and… a little unfriendly) available to stream.

Along with ongoing episodes of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” Disney+ will debut all of “Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” Season 2 and plenty of other great titles for young viewers. “The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl” special will recapture the magic of a live performance, and “Harlem Ice” follows a girls’ figure skating team through their competitive season.

Hulu will feature ongoing episodes of the new drama “Paradise,” and if you want more White House action there’s Viacom’s “The Oval,...

Emma Stone needed to "blackmail" a Succession star to stop him from dropping out of their movie that is now critically acclaimed. Stone's breakout role was in the 2007 comedy Superbad, which was also her film debut. Starring roles in the post-apocalyptic comedy Zombieland and the high school comedy Easy A brought her further recognition. Stone began to make her mark in other genres as well with her role as Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan in The Help and as Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

These projects were followed by several of Emma Stone's best movies, many of which earned her Academy Award nominations or wins, including for her performances in Birdman, La La Land, The Favourite, and Poor Things. Along with continuing her award-winning acting career, Stone has been producing movies as well. Her first producer credit was for When You Finish Saving the World,...

If you've got a pocket full of sunshine, you'll be sad to hear that Netflix is not vibing with you. The streaming giant announced that on January 1, it will take away a slate of titles from its catalog, and one of them is the 2010 hit comedy Easy A. The movie starred Emma Stone (Poor Things) when she was establishing herself as an A-lister in Hollywood, and it's one of the movies in which you can clearly see why she rose to the top. But you'll only be able to check out what we're talking about through December 31.

The Friends cast was well known for their on-screen dynamic that seemed to translate off-screen. But in the 17 years between the series finale and the reunion special, the beloved Friends cast reunited just once, Lisa Kudrow has revealed. During a recent appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's On Me podcast, Kudrow revealed that she, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and the late Matthew Perry all met for dinner at someone's house a decade after Friends' final episode.

"We'd only had dinner, the six of us, once before since the show ended," Kudrow told Ferguson.

Despite the time that had lapsed since the six had all been together, Kudrow said "they didn't miss a beat." Friends premiered in 1994 and made stars of its talented young cast. The characters played so well off each other on-screen that it's hard to imagine any odd dynamics off-screen. But still, Kudrow...

Believe it or not, 12-year-old Emma Stone, with big dreams and hilarious ideas, was almost ready to make her mark in the world of sketch comedy. She had even auditioned for Nickelodeon’s All That, the beloved sketch show that was basically SNL for kids. But unfortunately, her breakout moment was derailed by… well, her possessed babysitter character.

That’s right, Emma Stone, the actress popularly known for her iconic role in Amazing Spider-Man films and winning the Oscar for La La Land and Poor Things, had apparently come up with the character of a possessed babysitter for All That. Well, while the idea wasn’t bad for a 12-year-old, it was indeed a little too exorcist for Nickelodeon’s kid-friendly vibe.

Millennials are defined as those who were born between 1980 and 1996. There were no smartphones, people made mixed tapes instead of Spotify playlists, and getting someone's favorite movie on VHS was the best thing ever. Some absolute classics have been made about this unique generation that grew up on the cusp of the internet revolution and experienced not one, but two, recessions. The rise of social media saw the world becoming more connected and open than ever, and films like The Social Network show how this influenced a whole generation.

There was a focus on self-expression and inclusivity, which is a thread that could be seen in various films that focus on millennials as their protagonists. There was also an overwhelming sense of uncertainty about the future, and that tinge of anxiety can be felt in a lot of projects of the time. From the writing to the subject matter, movies...

Thomas Haden Church has joined the second season of Shane Gillis’ comedy series “Tires” at Netflix.

The show was renewed for Season 2 back in May ahead of the first season’s Netflix debut. Gillis self-financed the six-episode first season of “Tires,” with Netflix acquiring the show as part of a deal that included him getting another stand up special at the streamer. That special is also expected to debut in 2025.

Church will star in the show alongside Steven Gerben, Gillis, Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox, and Stavros Halkias. The official logline for Season 2 states, “After the unexpected success of their big marketing idea, Will (Gerben) and Shane (Gillis) rush to grow personally and professionally without fully realizing the cost of doing business.”

Church will star in the show as Phil, described as “Shane’s wealthy but immature father. A grown-up version of Shane, Phil enjoys owning various businesses in Florida where he resides,...

Emma Stone might be in a whole bunch of your favorite movies — but what are her favorites?

In January 2024, Stone spoke to Letterboxd — the social media site centered around movies — about her "four favorites," a regular interview the outlet does with major Hollywood celebrities. After appearing visibly stressed by the prospect of only picking four movies, Stone responds that Charlie Chaplin's 1931 comedy "City Lights" is her all-time favorite movie. "I love 'Network,'" Stone continued, name-checking the 1976 dark comedy that won Best Picture at the 49th Academy Awards in 1977. "'Mikey and Nicky,' I just saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago," Stone raved, citing Elaine May's movie (also from 1976) about a mobster and his best friend (played by John Cassavetes and Peter Falk). "I love almost every Cassavetes movie — that one wasn't Cassavetes, he's just in it. It's obviously Elaine May, who's a genius,...

Ever since Stanley Tucci earned his Actor’s Equity card in 1982, the man has left his mark on many forms of entertainment, collecting an array of showbiz nominations and trophies along the way. In 1996, he earned his first Emmy nomination for his supporting role on ABC’s “Murder One” as the twisted millionaire businessman Richard Cross who was suspected of murder. He would go on to claim three Emmy Awards for acting roles: as a lead actor in a miniseries or movie for his 1998 is role as newspaper columnist Walter Winchell in HBO’s “Winchell”; as a comedy guest actor on the USA Network detective series “Monk” in 2006; and as an executive producer of the 2016 short-form variety series “Park Bench With Steve Buscemi.”

He would be part of the SAG film ensemble win for 2015’s “Spotlight” and claimed his lone Oscar nomination for his supporting role as a killer of...

Imagine a world where Stanley Tucci, one of the most beloved actors working today, struggled to find work. Well, according to the man himself, after his supporting role in The Devil Wears Prada, opportunities were few and far between, which resulted in Tucci taking some less-than-ideal roles. In The Devil Wears Prada, Tucci played Nigel, a close adviser to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and a mentor to Andrea (Anne Hathaway) during her first days at Runway magazine. Although he didn't receive any recognition from the Academy unlike two of his co-stars his performance was universally praised as the much-needed heart and comic relief of the film.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Stanley Tucci opened up about the downturn his career took following The Devil Wears Prada. It might come as a surprise to some, considering the movie was a box-office success and has become a pop-culture sensation, but the actor couldn't...

Within the context of film discourse, the quote ‘every frame a painting’ is a figurative saying that refers to the fact that a movie is stunningly photographed to the point that each still image in isolation could stand as an artwork in and of itself. However, in the breathtaking work of Polish directors, Dk and Hugh Welchman, this takes a more literal meaning, as every frame of their films is indeed an oil painting handcrafted by a crew of around a hundred artists.

The Welchmans first used this arduous but incredibly rewarding animation technique in their previous film, the Oscar-nominated “Loving Vincent” (2017), which paid tribute to van Gogh by emulating his own brushwork, with the added difference of movement. Moreover, the color palette used for the film also resembled that found in the work of the late artist—different tonalities of blues, yellows, and greens. This time around, the filmmakers...

Stanley Tucci is opening up about the time after starring in The Devil Wears Prada, the 2006 David Frankel film in which he co-starred with Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway.

In a new interview, Tucci revealed he had difficulty booking another job after the film despite the box office success it had.

“After The Devil Wears Prada, I couldn’t get a job, and I didn’t quite understand that, but that’s just the way it was,” Tucci told Vanity Fair. “So I went and did stuff that I didn’t necessarily want to do, but I did it.”

Tucci noted that in his career he has “always gone through these fluctuations, and sometimes it’s just the business. Sometimes it was personal reasons why you can’t work.”

“Having been sick six years ago, that threw a wrench into the works for a while, and then you slowly get back,...

It turns out that “The Devil Wears Prada” just might have put Stanley Tucci’s career in purgatory.

The “Conclave” actor told Vanity Fair that it was difficult for him to find work following the iconic 2006 film. Tucci played a creative director who works for Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly and also helps new hire Andy (Anne Hathaway) assimilate into the corporate fashion world. While Tucci’s character Nigel is technically a supporting role, it’s certainly a standout one. Not that casting directors noticed.

“After ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ I couldn’t get a job, and I didn’t quite understand that,” Tucci said, “but that’s just the way it was. So I went and did stuff that I didn’t necessarily want to do, but I did it.”

Tucci’s roles right after “The Devil Wears Prada” include films “Blind Date,” “What Just Happened,” “Swing Vote,” and an “American Girl” movie.

Emma Stone is one of the generation's finest and most versatile actresses. The two-time Oscar winner rose to prominence in the late 2000s before jumping to stardom with her Golden Globe-nominated leading turn in the now-seminal teen comedy Easy A. From there, Stone became an A-lister, starring in acclaimed hits like The Help, blockbusters like The Amazing Spider-Man, and awards darlings like Birdman and La La Land, for which she received Oscar nominations, winning for the latter.

Catapulting to fame at an early age, Amanda Bynes had become a successful child actor with an envious career. It was particularly her comedic chops and infectious personality that turned her into a beloved actress and one of Nickelodeon’s top talent, by the age of 13. Prior to achieving her big break, Bynes had already starred alongside icons like Nick Cannon.

Following her work on the children’s network, Amanda Bynes navigated towards mainstream Hollywood and quickly became a comedy teen queen. Appearing in rom-coms and winning awards for her roles, Bynes had developed a career that was filled with envious opportunities. But then came her health setbacks and legal troubles that led her to quit acting. Once in full glory, Bynes has now become a mystery to be unraveled.

Several child actors get launched in Hollywood every year, but only a few manage to leave an indelible mark. One such actress was Amanda Bynes, who started acting at the young age of seven. Soon she began to appear in several advertisements and shows, skyrocketing her career in Tinsel Town. However given the difficult demands and stress of the business, she declared an indefinite hiatus from acting in 2010.

Rom-com flop Aloha is looking for a second chance at success on Netflix this September. Cameron Crowe has directed (and written) some remarkable romantic films, such as Say Anything..., Jerry Maguire, and Almost Famous, but his most recent film (released nearly a decade ago) is nothing short of a curious disaster. It's rare that a film can feature such a ridiculously stacked cast and tank with critics and general audiences in equal measure.

In the case of Aloha, there was even some casting controversy to boot. Specifically, Emma Stone's character, Captain Allison Ng. Ng is of one-quarter Hawaiian and one-quarter Chinese descent and Stone is neither. While the film does go out of its way to explain why the character does note have any resemblance to her ethnic heritage, Stone has previously mentioned that the casting was perhaps not correct. According to Crowe, in a 2015 interview with The Guardian, the...

"The Mick" creators and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" writers Dave and John Chernin made their feature directorial debut with "Incoming," a coming-of-age sex comedy for Netflix about a group of incoming freshmen attending their first high school party. It's a raucous, raunchy, ridiculous night of debauchery featuring a 14-year-old running a control room of spy cams, plenty of upperclassmen making the beast with two backs in random open bedrooms, a science teacher desperately trying to appear cool by taking shots of Fireball and ripping bongs with students, fist fights leading to broken noses, accidentally falling into a K-hole, running from the cops, and drunkenly sharting out a night's worth of Taco Bell binge-eating.

"Incoming" is an attempt to merge the tradition of beloved high school stories with the over-the-top screwball sex comedies of the 1970s and '80s, and when it works, it really works. Similar to recent high...

Emma Stone didnt take any breaks after her second Oscar, and her follow-up project, Kinds of Kindness, is now streaming and she plays three different characters in it. Emma Stones acting career began on TV in the early 2000s, and she made her big screen debut in the 2007 comedy Superbad. Stone built a career in comedy with movies like The House Bunny and Zombieland, and her big break arrived in 2010 with the comedy Easy A. Stone continued playing comedic roles after that, and her first drama role arrived in 2011 with The Help.

Since then, Stone has mixed her comedy roles with performances in projects from other genres, such as superheroes with both The Amazing Spider-Man movies, action with Gangster Squad, and musicals with La La Land. The latter gave Stone her first Academy Award for Best Actress, and in 2024, she won her second Oscar in the same category for Poor Things,...

Penn Badgley became a fan-favorite star as Dan Humphrey in CW’s Gossip Girl. The talented actor has proven time and again that he is much more than a pretty face, showcasing some amazing versatility in dramas like Margin Call, Greetings from Tim Buckley, and The Paper Store. He also entertained audiences in the cult comedies Easy A and John Tucker Must Die.

Badgley has now become a worldwide sensation as Joe Goldberg on the Netflix series You, with the actor set to return for a fifth and final season. The You star was highly rumored for the role of Reed Richards last year, which ultimately went to Pedro Pascal.

Your browser does not support the video tag. Amanda Bynes left acting after Easy A in 2010 due to body image issues, leading her to focus on mental health recovery. Bynes experienced substance abuse, struggles with Bipolar Disorder, and was under a conservatorship for her well-being. Despite no recent acting roles, Bynes graduated from Fidm in 2019 and is open to a return to the industry. Growth continues.

Amanda Bynes was once the darling of American teen comedy, but she hasn't played in a movie in several years. The actor's last moment in the limelight was with the release of Easy A in 2010, but since then, she hasn't taken on any new acting roles. Instead, it seems Bynes has been focusing on her mental health recovery, though there's always a possibility that we will see the teen icon again in roles down the road.

According to director Will Gluck, studios wanted anything but “Anyone but You” in theaters. Gluck told The Hollywood Reporter that while he received numerous streaming offers for the original rom-com starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, he had to “convince” studios to even entertain a theatrical release. Thankfully, Gluck’s longtime partnership with Columbia led to the film opening in theaters. The rest is history — and profit.

“It was a little bit of a battle to convince everybody,” Gluck said. “I just had to explain how good the people in the movie are and how impactful a theatrical experience could be.”

Gluck previously directed adaptations of “Annie” and “Peter Rabbit” for Columbia. He also helmed several projects for Columbia’s sister label Screen Gems, including the beloved “Easy A.”

“Anyone but You” went on to gross $88 million domestically against a $25 million budget. The film earned $220.2 million at the worldwide box office.

In the space of a little over 15 years, Emma Stone has gone from being Jonah Hill‘s main squeeze in “Superbad” to becoming a two-time Academy Award-winning actress. Certainly, Stone is someone who has paid her dues, regularly guesting on a myriad of television shows as a teen. She transitioned into film work with “Superbad” and soon landed her first major leading role in “Easy A,” which brought Stone her first Golden Globe nomination.

Stone quickly began working on major projects with A-list casts and top directors, films that include the 2014 Best Picture winner “Birdman,” for which Stone received her first Oscar nomination and the musical “La La Land,” for which she won the Academy Award. 2018 marked Stone’s first collaboration with Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, whose period black comedy “The Favourite” brought Stone her third Oscar nomination, and for their second, the darkly comic fantasy “Poor Things,” she won...

Zombieland and Easy A showcase Emma Stone's comedic abilities. Zombieland follows a group surviving a zombie apocalypse, while Easy A explores high school life and double standards. Both films are still relevant and offer insightful commentary, making them enjoyable and worth watching.

Emma Stone has quite a filmography, and it's only getting bigger and better. However, two of her funniest films are from 2009 and 2010. The movies are Zombieland and Easy A, and as of July 1, they're both on Netflix. While the plots of both movies are quite different, both show Emma Stone's abilities as a comedic actress.

Zombieland centers around a band of four people and how they get together when the United States and theoretically the world at large becomes a land full of zombies. Meanwhile, Easy A, which features Stone in her first starring role, is about Olive, whose story spreads across her high school when she...

Emma Stone has had a diverse and successful acting career, starring in a variety of genres. Stone is one of the best comedic actors in Hollywood, but she also has great emotional range. Stone's best movies include both Oscar-winners and huge blockbusters.

Since making her film debut in Superbad, Emma Stone has developed into one of Hollywood's finest actors. Her earliest movie roles showed her potential as a comedic actor, culminating in her critically-acclaimed performance in Easy A. From then on, Stone starred in a string of award-winning movies, including Birdman, La La Land, and her collaborations with Yorgos Lanthimos.

Emma Stone won her first Oscar for La La Land, and her second award came seven years later after her starring role in Poor Things. Stone has always kept her flair for comedy, even when her movies ask her to showcase her dramatic talents at the same time. Her success...

Easy A is loosely based on the novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and the ending draws inspiration from John Hughes' films. Olive Penderghast starts off as a nobody, but after a small lie to get out of dinner, she becomes the center of attention for her rumored sexual interactions, causing her to realize the negative side of notoriety. Easy A takes a strong anti-slut-shaming stance, emphasizing that women's sexual choices are nobody's business; however, some aspects of the film reinforce the very ideals it rejects, such as internalized misogyny and sexual shame.

The 2010 comedy movie Easy A tells a zany story with a resonant ending message that still matters today. When it comes to the best Emma Stone movies, many come to mind. However, few are as cherished as her breakout role in the teen comedy Easy A. The movie follows a teenage girl named Olive Penderghast, who...

Easy A, one of the best comedies of the 2010s, is now on Netflix. Easy A is a perfect companion to Anyone But You thanks to their similarities and connections. Despite their similarities, Easy A is a better movie than Anyone But You.

Netflixs catalog of movies continues to expand every week, and its now housing one of the most successful comedies from the 2010s, which is a must-watch after one of 2023s biggest box office hits. After a couple of rough years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 2023 was a great year for cinema, with huge box office successes like Barbie and Oppenheimer, and others that became surprise hits, as was the case for Anyone But You. Loosely based on William Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing, Anyone But You introduced the audience to Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell).

After a successful first date that soon turns sour, Bea...

Academy Award winner Emma Stone stars as Olive Penderghast in Easy A. Easy A marks Amanda Bynes' final film role. Other Easy A cast members include Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Lisa Kudrow, and more.

Easy A is one of the quintessential rom-coms of the 2010s, partly due to its all-star cast, which includes a two-time Academy Award-winning actress and a handful of Emmy Award-winning performers. The 2010 teen romantic comedy, directed by Will Gluck and written by Bert V. Royal, is partially inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne's renowned 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter as it depicts a teenager, played by Emma Stone, who becomes known as the school's resident tramp. Similar to Hester in The Scarlet Letter, Easy A's protagonist dons a scarlet "A" on her clothing to embrace her perceived identity.

Anyone But You references director Will Gluck's previous rom-com, Easy A. Emma Stone's character Olive Penderghast features in three of Gluck's rom-coms - Easy A, Friends with Benefits, and Anyone But You. Stone's involvement in Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things may have prevented her from having a cameo in Anyone But You like she had in Friends with Benefits.

Anyone But You fulfills a covert rom-com trilogy by sneaking in a subtle reference to a character Emma Stone played early in her career. The popular romance film is, in fact, chock-full of references, most being towards Shakespeare's 16th-century play "Much Ado About Nothing," from which Anyone But You is loosely inspired. Anyone But You's rough remake of the comedic play features Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell as Beatrice and Ben, respectively, two rivaling singles who pretend to be in a relationship to appease their loved ones and stick it to their exes.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Netflix’s high profile feature release for this month, arrives on July 3.

Kinds of Kindness stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are at it again! The duo is teaming up with Poor Things filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos for the filmmaker’s next feature-length film project, Bugonia. The Will Tracy-written film arrives in theaters on November 7, 2025.

According to the film’s description, Bugonia revolves around “two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.” While the plot sounds slightly off-beat for a Yorgo Lanthimos joint, I’ll remind you that the Poor Things director is unafraid of getting weird for the camera, making Bugonia one of 2025’s most intriguing releases.

If the plot for Bugonia sounds familiar, it’s because the project is based on the South Korean sci-fi comedy Save the Green Planet, written and directed by Jang Joon-Hwan. I saw Save the Green Planet! years ago...
