10 Best Teen Movies of the Decade

Building off the chaotic energy the late 00s put into the world (we’re looking at you, Superbad), teen films in 2010 thrived off of quirky, slightly obscure story lines and clichéd love stories. Honorable mentions this year include Michael Cera’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (which also starred a then-unknown Brie Larson) and Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s The Last Song.

And, without further ado, the honor of 2010’s best teen movie of the year goes to Easy A. Starring Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, and Amanda Bynes, this cheeky teenage film follows Olive (Stone) who uses her high school’s rumor mill to her advantage, participating in a variety of antics until it all eventually comes crashing down. The film won several awards in 2010, including an MTV award for “Best Comedic Performance” and a Teen Choice award for “Choice Movie Actress: Romantic Comedy” and “Choice Movie: Romantic Comedy.”
