Spoilers ahead
Olive Penderghast, portrayed by Emma Stone, fabricates a story about going on a date to avoid a camping trip with her best friend, Rhiannon Abernathy. Instead of enjoying the great outdoors, she spends her weekend at home, jamming to Natasha Bedingfield’s catchy “Pocketful of Sunshine.” When Rhiannon presses her for details on Monday, Olive concocts another lie, claiming she lost her virginity to a college student. This tall tale falls into the ears of Marianne Bryant, a devoutly religious girl played by Amanda Bynes, and quickly spirals out of control.
