Not Another Teen Movie (2001)

Too much of everything

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

this is not a movie that is suitable for everyone.as I said in my summary,it is quite crude and offensive.but it is a real blast to watch.it is very absurd at times,but that make it even more fun to watch.it spoofs mainly eighties and nineties teen comedies.it skewers everybody.no movie is sacred or safe from its onslaught.i thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.it's not a masterpiece,nor does it pretend to be.i laughed hard and frequently and actually hurt myself as a result.if you are someone who gets offended easily,you'll want to sit this one out.otherwise,I would say to turn your brain off for about an hour and a half and enjoy it.for me,Not Another Teen Movie is a 9/10.

This film is to its genre and comedy more largely as essential as the films it makes fun of or references throughout its playtime. The jokes are actually funny, the caricatures, the dialog, the concepts...it's just really funny stuff if you know what they're making fun of. The humor isn't over-the-top trying hard to force you to laugh, it's over-the-top in how it makes blatant, unadulterated fun of the movies it spoofs, and it does it really, really well. It also, ironically, serves as a fantastic cinematic catalog or compilation that reminds us of all those teen movies, that late 90's/early new millennium era, cheesy as hell, with all the nu-metal bands and Britney Spears, American Pie, the seminal days of the internet and that teen culture that expressed itself ever so awkwardly and vainly. The cool cliques at school, the nerdy feminist girl, the white guys who think they're black or Asian, the utter idiocy and thickness of the teen movies...it's all there, and in good taste and strong satirical work - and however one may be biased in a generational way, this film for what it is, in its context, is really a gem.

Contemporary movie parodies are, at best, a mixed bag. In most cases they're slapdash affairs hurried out to ride the coattails of a particular film or fad. If you've had the misfortune of watching any of the films by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer ('Epic Movie', 'Meet the Spartans', 'Date Movie' etc.) then you know what I mean. Thankfully, 'Not Another Teen Movie' transcends the genre.Filled with clever gags and character archetypes that gently prod the teen movie genre of the 80s-90s, 'NATM' is a funny, sometimes hilarious send-up. The cast is absolutely wonderful, fearlessly going for every laugh with gusto.If you like the teen movie genre, make a date with 'Not Another Teen Movie'. I promise it won't stand you up.

This movie is the first parody made off comedy movies. This movie was released maybe a year after a classic parody, Scary Movie. The only thing is I couldn't tell which movies. I only saw the American Pie and Breakfast Club parodies. Even so, this movie wasn't as funny as I expected it to be. I did have a few laughs, but not a lot.This film is basically about a high school jock who made a bet to turn an ugly girl into a prom queen nominee.One character I was really annoyed with was that girl's brother. I wanted to punch him in the face because it looked so appealing to do so. He was really annoying.Overall, this is an okay spoof. The Scary Movie quadrilogy is much better though. I would see those first. I rate this film 6/10.
