Topic: Reviews: Not Another Teen Movie Forum: JoBlo

Not Another Teen Movie would have to be one of the funniest "stupid" movies I have seen in a long time. You guys all know the story, so I'll spare you the details. What I liked: The cast for the most part was great. Chris Evans as The Popular Jock was hilarious, he was so hammy just like a young George Hamilton. Mia Kirshner (Catherine - The Cruelest Girl in School) was deliciously funny as the Jock's sister. They have the Cruel Intentions style relationship here and it was hilarious.
Chyler Leigh as The Pretty Ugly Girl Janie is one hottie. WOW! Jaime Pressley and the rest of the principal characters were funny, all of them hamming it up and going beyond camp. The references to all of the teen movies was great. You've got The Breakfast Club, American Beauty, Varsity Blues, Drive Me Crazy, Can't Hardly Wait, Sixteen Candles (which Janie masturbates to), 10 Things I Hate About You, Porky's, American Pie, Bring It On, Cruel Intentions, Final Destination, Never Been Kissed and especially She's All That. I loved the song and dance number before the prom, it was pure genius. I loved the Bring It On style cheeroff, I loved the Molly Ringwald cameo but the thing I loved most was the cheerleader with Tourette's, she made me laugh so hard. However there was a few things that I disliked. Randy Quaid as Janie's father annoyed me. The toilet humour scene was not funny, I didn't get the whole Melissa Joan Hart scene, the football coach was stupid and the clapping guy got on my nerves. Not Another Teen Movie will be dismissed by most people. Yes it's juvenile, yes it's stupid but HELLO! that's the point of the movie. If you want a lot of good laughs and have 78 minutes to spare check out this film. (Yes it's that short). And it's a helluva lot funnier than Scary Movie. For Entertainment Value 9/10
For Actual Goodness 5/10 I give it a 7/10 or *** of **** [This message has been edited by idealdiscountdude (edited 12-15-2001).]
