During the runtime of Easy A, Emma Stone says that she wishes her high school experience was comparable to an ‘80s movie such as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Say Anything or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
The central movie Easy A references is Bueller, namely in two scenes in particular.
Of course at the end, Penn Badgely’s character watches her confession and checks all the other ‘80s references for her.
It’s easy to spot the number of ‘80s references within the film because it’s pretty cut and dry.
