Abstract
This essay examines the use of 1980s romantic comedies, particularly the films of John Hughes, by the film, Easy A (Will Gluck, 2010). I use an intertextual approach to adaptation studies to link one of the film's source texts, Can't Buy Me Love (Steve Rush, 1987) to Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850).
