Summary: Scizoid humor film
Review: "No, not Janey Briggs! She's got glasses! And a ponytail! And she's wearing paint-covered overalls! Ugh! "
- jock Jake, on the "ugly pretty girl". "Not Another Teen Movie " is a deeply split film. And that is reflected by the reviews. Some hate it, some love it. Me, I quite like it, oddly. I actually found it interesting enough to listen to both of two commentary tracks, one from producer/director, and one from the cast. And this revealed what causes the twin personality of the film. Apparently when the director got offered the original script, he did not like it at all, because it was all one big gross-out joke with no story. So he turned it down. But they really wanted him, and so he asked them that a writer he knows could work over the script. And it got worked over so thoroughly that the finished film apparently basically only has one scene that was in the original script. And it happens that this scene is also the one that clearly is the big gratuitous gross-out scene in the film. It is doubtlessly a scene that many modern teens will find hilarious. And very tellingly, it is also a scene that neither director/producor or the cast like at all! They would clearly rather have been without it at all, but kept it for box-office reasons. (What scene it is? Let us just say that it involves a toilet and hundreds of liters of chocolate sirup!) Also interestingly, the original script only had parody of films from the nineties. But the producers wanted to give it more breadth and more heart, and to include lots of story from famous eighties teen movies, like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, etc. (They even have Molly Ringwald appear in the end.) One of the best things it has is female lead Chyler Leigh. Here is a prediction: she is going to be big, you read it here first. Chyler is very pretty indeed, and she is an excellent actor, and even an excellent dancer, as can be seen on the DVD extras. She has a gorgeous smile, and she can also be very funny, as is seen for instance in the opening scene where she is caught by her family with a vibrator in her bed. The faces she pull trying to tone down her ecstasy are priceless. Another good thing is of course the "object of lust" as she herself puts it, the "generic foreign exchange student", Areola, who is never dressed. She is unfortunately only in the film a couple of times, and briefly. I guess because the nudity is "gratuitous". Can somebody tell me why, when you put nice landscapes in a film (example: the beautiful Straight Story by David Lynch) it is not gratuitous, but if you put a beautiful nude person in, it is? They all clearly worked very hard on this film, and I think it does show. It is often crude, but it is also sometimes very funny indeed. And it has some very nice girls. I would quite like to have seen the film as it would have been if they had not needed the contemporary teen audience for box office. But even so, if you are not adverse to a teen comedy, I recommend it. Favorite quote:

Summary: Stunning Masterpiece of Film Art from Truly Gifted Geniuses
Review: All you naysayers can say "nay" all you want, I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Joel Gallen's film debut. Only one such as he could summon the courage and tenacity to hold a steadfast gaze into the dark heart of the soul-crushing Hollywood machine. One that exploits our nation's youth and forces them to conform to pre-digested stereotypes such as jocks, sluts, and nerds. Our young deserve better! Kudos to these talented filmakers for bringing to light and satirizing the hackneyed and uninspired tropes of the "Teen Film" genre. Without this film and its peerless insights, we would never know how silly teenage comedic sex romp films truly are. This stunning revelation has forever altered the course of human history. I eagerly await this production team's next endeavor, and will gladly reserve a space on my shelf next to the films of Kubrick, Welles, Scorsese, Kurosawa, Fellini, Bergman, and Hitchcock for the complete works of the esteemed Mr. Gallen.

Summary: Of course it stunk
Review: ...but come on, what could you really expect? As a stand-alone comedy, this movie is useless. No surprise there. Were it not for the poor execution and lousy casting, this movie could have been so much more than it is. However, for those of us who were raised on "teen movies" (from Sixteen Candles through the latest glut of knock-offs), it's like a low-brow game of trivial pursuit. It's fun just to sit back and try to catch all the references, as well as try to peg the oh-so-familiar songs. I wouldn't spend money on it (I watched it on HBO), but I can think of worse ways to spend an hour or so. (If only to hear the last line from Molly Ringwald's cameo - absolutely priceless. :P)

Summary: The worst movie I've ever seen
Review: I think that it was obvious by the trailers alone that this was going to be a horrible movie anyway, and that's why I didn't bother going to the theaters to see it like most of my friends. I waited until it was on HBO, and I have to say that it was the most painful 80 minutes I've ever spent in front of a television screen. The entire cast is absolutely horrible, once again proving that as long as you have a pretty face you don't need to have a teaspoon's worth of talent to be in the movies. The movie follows the "She's All That" format pretty closely, and every time it tries to go into another movie it only confuses the viewer more. My advice? Go to the dentist and ask to have four of your teeth drilled at once. Even that is better than sitting through this pile of garbage.

Summary: In Response to Amy Gersztyn
Review: I definately enjoyed this movie. It's become one of my favorites. Satire is always a classic laugh-winner and this spoof picks on every one of the movies of the genre. Anyone familiar with teen movies, especially those in this latest slew (Bring It On!, She's All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, Varsity Blues, Can't Hardly Wait...all movies that I enjoyed but which desperately needed to be made fun of) has to laugh. Furthermore, I'd prefer that my sense of humor not be attacked by reviewers who believe they are above this movie, yet can't properly utilize the English language (result to?...try resort). PS: I "fast-forwarded" through their review. It only took me 1/4 of the text to realize it was written by a pretentious reviewer.

Summary: TOTAL GARBAGE
Review: Just plain stupid, really. The director threw in a scene involving a toilet full of feces that explodes and sprays a teacher and some students at the high school. I guess he thought that would attract the misdirected youth of this country. ...

Summary: Two stars for the ending....
Review: I'm usually quite generous with stars, but when I am forced to fast-forward 1/4 of what I watched of the movie(25mins), then somethings wrong. Okay so at least 60% of todays society is horribly perverse well that percentage does not include me. And I really didn't want to watch this, but my friend did, yeah she loves it. But then again she loves many bad movies. I mean this could have been a good movie if it didn't result to the lowest forms of comedy possible(The idea had potential. Keywrd: HAD). Which I somehow got through Scary movie(I would NEVER watch it again and wish I never did, but yeah), but this movie. No I just couldn't. I found myself constantly cringing, turning away, and clicking the forward button. But as shallow as regular teen movies are this one is about 50x's more shallow. Okay maybe that's overexagerating. I mean when this movie doesn't fall in to constant sex jokes and gross out bathroom humour there are are a couple funny moments. Like the detention scene which even features the original guy from the "Breakfast Club", the fooball feild scene is pretty funny, and of course the end.
Other than that this movie is an example of just how crude and tasteless society has become. Just by seeing the first few seconds of this moving you'll know what your in for. You may like it, and God help you. I have moral standards and so this stuff is just bad. God Bless ~Amy

Summary: a particularly funny movie
Review: This movie is not really good, it is simply funny !!! Great entertianment indeed, revolving around the prom queen competition at the John Hughes University. The intrigue is very good, besides the intention to focus on Janey is just good. I particularly liked the beginning of the movie (which clearly sets the tone of the movies ), the secret ending too (incredible story about the departure ), and most other sequences anyway(the private catwalk ending under the staircase; the rebound girl pun , the hand job ; the ugly Catherine character etc.).
In the middle of all that, Aerola is a special, unexpected bounty. Catherine really looks familiar to those who have already seen Cruel Intentions, she still wants to ave sex with her brother Sebastian (Jake in this movie).... As to Sandy Sue, she is really a likable and very pleasant character.
Of course the quality of the images(and the sound) are outstanding from start to end.
A joyful movie.
