 Surprisingly entertaining movie with a great plot March 5, 2009
T. M. McLaughlin (Naperville, IL, USA)
When I bought this movie, I was under the assumption that it would be a decent movie that would at the least be interesting enough to hold my attention for around 90 minutes, but I was pleasantly surprised at the substance within the movie and how real the acting felt.
This was positively one of the most well-acted films I have ever seen. All of the supporting cast were great, especially John and Mick. However, the main character absolutely stole the show and really draws the audience in to feel her happiness and pain.
I am sure that everyone has seen plenty of movies, in their time, that attempt to depict relationships in today's world, and they all fall woefully short of the truth. Most movies attempt to show as much nudity as possible and hold back the emotion; while this movie has some nudity, it is effectively done with Moreau being in the moment, either showing her affection or love for the character she is with. Easy was able to pull off "classy" nudity on camera, however "classy" nudity may be able to be. I did not feel at any point that it was overdone, nor was the acting overdone.
Moreau feels like a friend that everybody has and everybody knows that just wants to be happy, but is confused as to how to arrive at that happiness. Easy depicts her journey to happiness and does a phenomenal job of doing so. I whole-heartedly recommend this film to anybody that wants to see an entertaining, true-to-life film that actually "keeps it real."

I was surprised I actually liked this movie as I usually avoid "cutesy romances" like the plague. This was well done and really is a movie one can easily relate to.
I'm not saying I would buy it but it is worth a rent or a late night stay up on a movie channel
Marguerite Moreau is a pleasure to look at clothed or not and although not a challenging role she handles it quite well and realistically
 Couldn't wait for it to end June 29, 2008

I generally enjoy quirky little independent films about modern relationships, but Easy is an exception. It seems to have been marketed as a romantic comedy and, to be fair, there a few nicely comic moments along the way. Unfortunately, the amusing bits would not make up an episode of a tv sitcom. Most of the film is a fairly predictable soap opera with moderately explicit sex scenes which seem to suggest that woman on top is the new missionary position.
The leading character is pleasant enough. Her offbeat nature is underlined by her ridiculous job - the sort that only people in movies have. The composition of the rest of the cast screams political correctness and everyone seems to love everybody else regardless of race, creed, or lack of attractiveness. The problem is that I found it difficult to care about any of them. The rather forced emotions of the script made involvement with them impossible. By the time the happy ending is reached, I found myself thinking: "You could have done that an hour ago." Possibly, some of the problem is mine - I suspect I am not part of the film's target audience. Even so, Easy is nothing special and offers nothing new. It's all been done before and done much better.
Not a comedy June 29, 2008

The box cover makes this look like a comedy. It's not. Only get this movie if you aren't expecting laughs.
It's a drama about a woman who decides that she sleeps around too much, and so she's going to be celibate for the next 90 days.
 Meaningless Sex is Easier than a Meaningful Relationship. March 5, 2008

Easy-on-the-eyes Marguerite Moreau carries the 2003 relationship drama, Easy. A Vassar graduate, she is best known for her work in television (Blossom) and for her her roles in Firestarter,The Mighty Ducks, and Runaway Jury. In Easy, Moreau stars as Jamie, a beautiful, 25-year-old "easy chick" who can't escape her history of taking off her clothes in the hopes of finding Mr. Right. When she finally meets two nice guys, a poet named John (Naveen Andrews of Lost, in which Moreau also had a role in Season Two of the series) and a funny cable television host Mick (Brian F. O'Byrne), she is unable to decide which of them to pursue until after completing a 90-day vow of celibacy. Ultimately, while Jamie discovers that meaningless sex is easier than a meaningful relationship, it is less rewarding. I discovered this enjoyable film on late-night cable television, and look forward to seeing Moreau in future films.
