I watched Easy A earlier tonight. I consider it the best teen comedy since Mean Girls.
In a similar case with Black Swan, it's loosely based on the same kind of other media it often features. Easy A is based on "The Scarlet Letter", and deals with issues like adultery and some religious references. Black Swan most definitely features Swan Lake and has a similar storyline about the white swan turning into the black swan and killing herself.
I like both movies, they are well-written, well-acted, and very creative. Natalie Portman's Oscar win was worthy and the writing in Easy A was funny and witty. Both screenplays are considered original even though they're loosely based on other medias.
