Oscar winner Emma Stone has starred in a wide range of movies varying in quality, from teen comedies like Easy A to period pieces like The Favourite.
Throughout her storied career, Emma Stone has starred in a wide variety of movies, from raunchy teen comedies to Oscar-winning dramatic masterpieces. Some of Stone’s movies have been universally praised by critics, like Birdman and The Favourite, while others have been panned as one of the worst, like Marmaduke and Movie 43 – and there are plenty of middling efforts that rank somewhere in between.
21 Marmaduke While it wasn’t quite as poorly received as Movie 43, Marmaduke’s 9% Rotten Tomatoes score indicates it didn’t fare much better with critics. The 2010 live-action/animation hybrid is a lifeless adaptation that fails to capture the spirit of Brad Anderson’s iconic comic strip. The animals’ slightly off-kilter CG lip movements – including that of Mazie, the Australian Shepherd that Stone plays – are a continuous distraction.
18 Paper Man One of the earliest roles of Stone’s career was a supporting turn as high school student Abby in the indie darling Paper Man. Paper Man is a quirky, albeit uneven comedy about a struggling writer bringing back his childhood imaginary friend to reinvigorate his creativity. Critics didn’t take too kindly to Paper Man; it has just 32% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is far from one of the best Emma Stone movies, but it has a certain offbeat charm.
15 Magic In The Moonlight Stone and Colin Firth give committed lead performances as Sophie Baker and Stanley Crawford in Magic in the Moonlight, but this late-career Allen effort never finds a natural rhythm. Magic in the Moonlight split critical opinion almost 50/50, with a 51% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film offers Allen’s take on the concept of magical realism, but it quickly devolves into a mundane romance.
12 The Amazing Spider-Man Franchise Just five years after the end of Tobey Maguire’s initial Spider-Man trilogy, Sony rebooted the franchise with Andrew Garfield in the role of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man. The reboot’s dark tone is mismatched with the bright-eyed, eternally optimistic Spider-Man character, but Garfield’s committed performance opposite an equally committed Stone as his love interest Gwen Stacy makes it work.
9 Cruella One in a long line of Disney's live-action remakes of their animated classics, Cruella gets the Maleficent treatment, as it fills in the unseen backstory of One Hundred and One Dalmatians’ baddie. The script falls into a few “villain protagonist” clichés, making a shamelessly evil character needlessly sympathetic, but Cruella is saved by breathtaking visuals, Oscar-winning costume design, and Stone’s mesmerizing performance.

US forests face an unclear future with climate changeWhen you walk through a forest, you are surrounded by carbon. Every branch and every leaf, every inch of trunk and every tendril of unseen root contains carbon pulled from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. And as long as it stays stored away inside that forest, it's not contributing to the rising concentrations of carbon dioxide that cause climate change. So it's only natural that we might want to use forests' carbon-storage superpower as a potential climate solution in addition to reducing human greenhouse gas emissions.
