Summary: A FUNNY FILM ABOUT FINDING THE RIGHT GIRL
Review: After being dumped by his longtime girlfriend, Berke (Ben Foster) turns to his friends for support, but their advice is to GET OVER IT. Instead of taking their advice, Berke goes all out to win back his sweetheart, and with the help of his best friend's sister, Kelly (Kirsten Dunst), he just may do it...or maybe not?

Deciding the best way to win back Allison would be to audition for the school production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Berke lands a major role, pitting him against Allison's new beau, a wannbe boy band member. What ensues is an all out war to win the heart of Allison, but as opening night approaches, Berke wonders if this is really what he wants or does his heart may belong to another?

'Get Over It' is a funny film, that keeps the laughs coming without getting silly, and features some fine performances by all it's actors, with most of the laughs being supplied by Martin Short in the role of the play's eccentric producer. The only flaw in the film is the time spent on the play, if the play was used as a backround, instead of a main setting, the movie would have been great.

Summary: An extremely avarage teen movie...
Review: ...about a guy trying to go out with his exgirlfriend. There is not really much to laugh. The only thing that makes this movie different from other teenager movies is that most of the main characters are not supermodel looking(except for the "main" girls of course). Probably kids around 10-14 have something to enjoy from here but for the rest, this is only killing time...

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Not your average teen flick
Review: When a movie vividly recalls various moments in your life, you know it's doing *something* right. Thoughout the majority of "Get Over It," I found myself nodding in recognition at various situations, and smiling at some of the clever ways emotional responses were visualized. The rest of the time, however, I endured the standard sex jokes, gross-out gags, and lowbrow humor that have come to define the teen genre lately.

As the movie opens, Berke (Foster) finds that his old childhood friend Allison (the absolutely beautiful Melissa Sagemiller) has returned to town, and is now attending his school. The two pick up where they never left off, with a crazy sort of love they had never experienced before.

Or at least, *he* had never experienced. The thrill soon wears off for Allison, and when she tells Berke, a black hole appears to swallow him up. Literally.

Wonderful little exaggerations like that pop up throughout the entire movie, capturing the essence of the moment in a way that says "yeah, I know how it feels." This empathy is what helps to elevate the movie above most others of its type, which simply gloss over the emotions of the characters. Another superb moment early on shows Berke on his walk home after getting the boot: a singer (Colleen Fitzpatrick, aka Vitamin C) comes out of the garage (a-la "Something About Mary), along with her band, and proceeds to sing the title credits music - a mockingly cheery and upbreat song - while following him home. They are joined by a couple of dancers. Then a marching band. Soon, it seems the whole world is gleefully laughing at the poor boy's fate.

So yes, the movie re-defines "spiked" punch, and yes, there's a rediculous scene in a sex-club. And no, there are no surprises in the story, especially after Berke begins hanging out with his best friend's sister (Dunst) in an attempt to win back Allison. What we *do* get, though, is a suprisingly observant film, which obviously remembers what it was like to be a heartbroken teen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get Tickets For It!
Review: This is the story of high school senior Berke Lawrence (Foster), whose girlfriend, Allison (Sagemiller) just broke up with him. Hoping to woo Allison back, he quits the basketball team (Sisqo plays a teammate) and tries out for a production of a Shakespeare play. Heartbroken, he starts to notice Kelly (Dunst), his best friend's little sister... who doesn't seem so little anymore.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as Bad as it Could Be
Review: This movie is not as bad as all the other teen comedies that we have all been forced to endure in the past year. This comedy actually has some jokes that will make people other than its teen audience give a little laugh at.

The premise is that Ben Foster is dumped by his girlfriend, and cannot seem to live without her. He tries numerous ways to win her back. In the process he finds a girl that will help him, but one that is falling in love with him at the same time. Kirsten Dunst, pro to all the teenager movies, plays the new love interest that does not want to see Foster go back to his ex out of fear that she will not love him the way that she does. Or something like that.

The movie does offer us Martin Short as the overly flamboent play director that seems to have constant contempt for the kids, with a few good flash backs of him in his "glory days". The movie does have a lot of situations that are formulaic, but it also offers us some laughs that we would not expect to find in a movie aimed at teenagers.
