Two Movies I Could Have Enjoyed More

deirdreFor the most part, I enjoyed both Easy A and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
But.
I'd have enjoyed both more, and felt like I could recommend them, if they had less obvious fail.
Scott Pilgrim had the more egregious racefail line, but Easy A had a completely unnecessary facepalm scene. Scott's more of a jerk, so it seems more in line with his character than with Olive's, and Easy A was a witty comedy in many ways. Granted, Easy A's guys were supposed to be repugnant, pretending to buy sex, but it could have been done better. (And yes, I almost want to explain or apologize it away, but it's simply not possible.)
C'mon Hollywood, buy a clue.
