When false tales of a teenaged girl’s loss of virginity begin to spread through her high school, she not only fails to refute them, but she wholeheartedly embraces and embellishes upon them, and before long is exchanging fabricated tales of sexual conquests with geeky classmates for gift vouchers and the like; but, of course, before long things begin to get a little out of hand, in Gluck’s perkily entertaining comedy, which benefits greatly from Stone’s tremendously charismatic central performance and some delightful supporting turns in the adult roles.
