A teenage girl,Olive,when trying to excuse herself from visiting her best friend’s house because her parents are weird,ends up lying she has a date with her brother’s friend,George.

After, the friend thinks she did something more with this imaginary George.

 

Annoyed by her friend’s demeanor,as she keeps on pressing her to confess to something she didn't do, Olive lies to her she had s3x with him.

 

The school's very religious’ student hears them and tells the whole school she is a sl@t. From then on,students ask her to pretend they were together so they could stop being bullied. And she gets an even bigger reputation as a sl@t.

 

The A comes from 'adultery' or 'adulterer' , which is what Hester Prynne, the character from 'The scarlet letter' had to wear on her clothes, and what Olive wears on hers as a result of her reputation.

 

This is one of my favorite movies. I love the acting,it comes so natural to the actors,it was a joy to watch.

The movie was funny,I watched it so many times and it still makes me laugh with tears.

The soundtrack was great.
