Reception needs work. It should reflect more modern day analysis as it is claimed to be a masterwork yet nearly half of the critics cited are negative. 2603:6010:11F0:3C0:71CC:AE7A:CEEB:4053 ( talk) 03:31, 7 October 2022 (UTC) reply

The "Adaptions and influences" section has been tagged as needing expansion. I looked at the main article. It's basically a lengthy list of references to it in mainly television. I honestly know of no other suitable way it could be summarized in the "Adaptions and influences" sections, so I think the tag should be removed.

I think that the 2010 film adaptation Easy A starring Emma Stone ought to be included in the Films section. -cspan02 ( talk) 08:32, 21 January 2023 (UTC) reply
