In Will Gluck's 2010 teen rom-com Easy A, a quintessential good girl lies about losing her virginity, only for the town's gossip to spread it all around her high school.

This movie's release on Hulu is great news for fans of one of the best TV actors of all time, Robin Williams, who stars as a red-faced Henry.

The 2012 film adaptation of the well-known 80s musical Rock Of Ages is also on the roster for May 1 Hulu releases. It tells the story of two rock-and-roll lovers chasing their dreams despite everything that fate throws at them.
