Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

bowmanblue The 'Not Another...' and '...Movie' franchises have just about been milked to death recently, as it has attempted to parody everything from Superhero films to Date movies. Both series follow the same pattern, lampooning more popular movies with a selection of gross-out gags and pratfalls. However, nowadays people may have forgotten that 'Not Another Teen Movie' was one of those rarities which actually worked.If you grew up in the nineties (like me), or just generally watch a lot of teenage 'rom-coms' then you'll probably be able to tell which films 'Not Another Teen Movie' is poking fun at. But, the best thing about it, is that the jokes are actually funny.The film is loosely tied together with a story about a popular boy trying to make an unpopular girl popular, but you can almost consider it a sketch show. Therefore some scenes work and others don't, but more do than don't.If you're as sick as the clichés used in teenage romance movies then you'll appreciate seeing them ridiculed here, or if you just fancy some daft, gross fun, then this could also be for you.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

SnoopyStyle It's a parody of all the teen movies with some great insightful jokes. Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh) is a plain unpopular girl who is the subject of a bet by the popular guy Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) as a send up to 'She's All That'. It also parodies every other teen movies as well.I just can't figure who would like this movie as I do. Basically you have to watch every teen movie. How many people remember 'Lucas'? You have to watch them all, and willing to laugh at them. It seems like a small group of moviefiles who can understand all the jokes.The best and most insightful gag has to be the transformation of Janey. After that big hit, the movie rambles on a bit with the big game and the rest. The last half just flails around a bit. I just wish they had more gags to fill the prom with.

thesar-2 It's so passé to start with, "Well, I've seen worse" but, there you go.Actually, the (waaay late to the game, even in 2001) spoof off of John Hughes's 80s Classic Teen fare, Not Another Teen Movie did have me laughing at spots, despite its (mostly) predictable sight gags. And funny enough, the originally foreseen and eventual ongoing joke was my favorite: from the token black guy, Malik: "Damn…Shit…That is Whack!" had me rolling each time.I grew up on spoofs and they're probably my favorite of the comedy genre. But they're as rare as a GREAT horror movie. Handful at best. Airplane! Scary Movie (#1 only), The Naked Gun! Student Bodies and Top Secret come to mind…but that's about it. With Not Another Teen Movie, it was eh, but not terrible. At very least, they stayed on track with the specified target: teen romantic films, unlike most of the spoofs as of late that skip genres like the film classes the writers should've attended.It would be hard to write a straight away synopsis, since there are a dozen story lines floating around, but the basics involve the inevitable bet between the recently dumped jock (Chris Evans) and his buddies to woo the (yeah right) "nerdy" girl to Prom Queen status. On a side note, in one of the more hilarious moments, the John Hughes High School Marquee announces the arrival of Prom less than a week from when the school year starts.There were some definite laugh out loud moments, such as the Cruel Intentions sister homage or the Bring It debate and it's worth a viewing IF the aforementioned spoofs I listed aren't available for streaming.

oneguyrambling I never loved spoof movies, and since "Scary Movie" they have only gotten lazier and lazier. Someone needs to tell the writers that cramming in as many pop culture references as possible isn't a joke in itself.It used to be that a spoof movie would take a well known scene and take it in another direction, with ideally humorous results. Now it seems enough that we the audience say "oh they mean Hellboy", or "this is that bit from American Pie". It doesn't have to be funny apparently. Worse still is that we now seem to have such short attention spans that referencing a movie isn't necessary, simply a viral video or recent event.I guarantee that (if it hasn't already happened) the next spoof movie will include:Christian Bale's now infamous rant. - Sarah Palin. - Britney. Duh! (Not Paris, she's too powerful.) - Swine flu, only it has been spread through sex with pigs. - Somehow Barack Obama will appear, and breakdance.. (you know, because he is black.)And so on and so forth, if there is an obvious theme there it should be that EASY TARGETS are the norm (just like Eminem. Oooh he's having a go at Kim Kardashian, that'll cost him!).Anyway, now to review this piece of crap, and when I say piece of crap NATM is actually one of the better spoofs in the last decade, that doesn't stop it from sucking though.Alarm bells ring with Randy Quaid's name coming up in the credits, though as one of the leading ham actors around he is ideally suited to this throwaway genre.Set in a high school, there is no plot to speak of, only the plots of other teen movies of course. Put simply it copies all the movies where the hot guy must take a seemingly unpopular and ugly girl and make her popular and somehow attractive.The chicks are normally Charlise Theron, Jennifer Connelly types - hardly ugly ducklings - at least NATM knows this. But once they make this clear there aren't any more decent jokes to come from the premise.I'll try to list some of the jokes derived from stereotypes: - The undercover adult in school who is clearly 50+. - The American Beauty loner guy. - The young guys who wanna get laid. - The cheerleaders. - The eccentric but hopeless friend of the unpopular girl. - The bonehead but still popular football players. - And their coach who swears and shouts a lot. - The sexy exchange student, (who is nude the entire film).Now the three jokes I liked, and really the only three jokes I liked in the whole film.Rather than white guys pretending they're black, one white student spends the entire film pretending he is an Asian guy. (An amusing concept not used in an amusing way.)Every time something happens, a doofy looking guy tries to start a slow clap, only he never gets the support and embarrassingly must give up. (I hate the slow clap in the movies thing so I laughed, and as this was what the writer's aimed for I must give credit.)Mr T appears as the "wise janitor" with some sage advice and the A-Team music plays, although most people watching the film nowadays might think "Oh the guy from the Snickers' ad!", rather than a pop icon of the 80's.I liked the nude exchange student thing, but it wasn't funny after the initial second. So you might have to guess why I liked it. (Hint – I'm a guy.)What more to say, the female cast is hot-hot-hot, but who cares? Jaime Pressley is the only recognizable cast member who isn't making a "look at me" cameo, and she's hardly a big name aside from My Name is Earl.There are about five so called jokes in the movie that you can't see coming a mile off, and when you don't see the punchline it invariably fails or falls flat. I hate the insinuation that we as movie goers should find any of this funny but even the cookie cutter crap Epic Movie, Date Movie, Disaster Movie bullsh*t still make money for the assembly line hacks that make it and have the audacity to release it each year.The fact is I haven't seen many of the movies referenced in NATM, but it doesn't seem to matter as most of the time I knew what they were talking about and didn't just care.Perhaps if you actually love those movies you might find some joy here, if that is the case, you are a sad strange little man, and you have my pity.Final Rating – 4.5 / 10. Better than many similar films in the genre, but that in itself is the faintest of faint praise. Avoid all of these and tell Hollywood to stop making them.If you liked this (or even if you didn't) try oneguyrambling.com
