Summary: Watch it and feel your IQ diminish
Review: 'Get over it' is yet another flick from the remade-Shakespeare sub-genre of teen movies. I have never seen a good movie of this kind, and this is no exception. But I think I am justified in saying that this is the absolute nadir of the teen movie genre. This movie was never going to be Oscar material, but even taking that into account, it is just plain AWFUL.

'Get Over it' is one of the most clichéd, predictable, un-engaging movies I have ever read. Teen movies may not be known for their originality, but this reaches a whole new low in filmmaking. It's obviously geared towards a 13-16 year old audience, and absolutely no one out of this age group would fail to recognize it as what it is - absolutely mediocre, or worse, in every way.

The plot is the usual lame affair: a guy called Berke gets dumped by his longtime girlfriend Alison and joins his schools production of a Shakespeare play in order to impress her and get her back. He enlists the help of his friend's pretty younger sister (Kirsten Dunst) to help him learn his lines. Gee, you don't think they fall for each other, do you? No way, that couldn't possibly happen.

The acting didn't particularly impress me either, with a few expressions. I don't understand why a talented actress like Kirsten Dunst would attach herself to a film like this. The male lead, the guy that played Berke, was about as emotional as cold rice (he seemed stuck on one facial expression for much of the movie) and none of the other characters were memorable, though also not blatantly bad acted. The crazy drama teacher was probably the one interesting and funny character.

I should also mention that some scenes in this film were terrible. The scene where Berke sings the Big Red song (product placement, anyone?) was excruciating, in more than the way that was intended. And the "climactic" scene of the performance of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' was a low point of ... the HISTORY of CINEMA. (When I start using capitalization like that, you know things are getting bad). Will Shakespeare would have turned over in his grave: it's like they took his play, ran over it with a steamroller and then hacked it to bits with a chainsaw for good measure.

Comparing 'Get Over it' to another Shakespeare-teen-comedy like 'Ten Things I hate about you' easily highlights just how bad GoI is. Both movies are rather cliché and predictable, not going to win any awards, but TTiHAY was at least enjoyable, and watchable. While not particularly high-quality, at least it didn't make me feel LESS smart for having watched it. I couldn't sit through all of GoI (although I saw about 85-90% of the film), that's how completely and utterly BAD it was.

I would give this movie 3/10. (This is being generous). These are for Kirsten Dunst's acting (despite being trapped in a substandard role), the fact that GoI is NOT a teen comedy about sex (which I really did appreciate), and that the movie did have 3 or 4 mildly enjoyable scenes.

But really - don't waste your time watching this.
IT'S 87 MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE YOU WILL NEVER HAVE BACK.

Summary: THIS IS GOOD STUFF!!!
Review: I'm not gonna tell you what this movie's about - 'cuz you can just look at some of the other reviews if you wanna know that! But I will tell you about my experience with it: I watched it two years ago - and at time I had no idea who Kirsten Dunst was! After I saw it - I checked IMDB.com and all the other sites and found out that Kirsten is (in my opinion) far the best actress in the world! And this movie is great! It truly is!! It just cracks you up - you can't help laughing!

The bottom line is that it's a feel-good-movie - and if you like them (like I do) and like a good laugh (like I do) you should buy/rent this movie or even watch it on television! You won't regret it!

XTRA-INFO: I just got it on DVD yesterday - and the Speciel Features are GREAT!!! Especcially because I love when Kirsten sings "Take a look" - but in the movie it's only part of the song that's shown. In the special features "Take a look" is in its full version! I admit it! I LOVE IT!!(I almost cried) All the other special features are great too - all movies should have this much special features! Deleted, extended scenes, make-up-test, behind-the-scenes, original songs, two music videos and more! I mean - could this be better

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of My Favorite Movies
Review: This has been one of my favorite movies forever! I love the storyline, and it never ceases to make me stop laughing. I seriously watch this movie every time I need something to watch and don't feel like any movie in particular, which is often a few times a week. I love the play scene at the end. Martin Short is hilarious as Forrest Oates, and Ben Foster and Kirsten Dunst do a great job. Melissa Sagemiller does a great job as Allison, and Shane West plays a hilarious Striker. And Colin Hanks is hilarious as Felix. The movie is feel-good throughout, and although it's highly predictable, it's a great movie to watch when you really want to have hope. And the music in the play at the end is so hilarious that it will keep you rolling on the floor! This is a great movie, and I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I liked it
Review: It's not a big-time movie but I liked it pretty well. Kind of funny, and although I didn't like Crazy/Beautiful much, I am a fan of Kirsten Dunst.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must see.
Review: I highly disagree with anyone that says not to watch this movie. I have seen it over 20 times, and it is still funny each time. The humor and strong performances by the cast make this movie a must see. Watch it, you'll love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great Kirsten Dunst Movie
Review: I must admit, i am a bit biased to this film. I love kirsten Dunst will all my heart, but i still try to be fair. This movie is a million times better then the largely unfunny Bring It On. Martin Short is the key to this movie. this man is one of the best comic actors ever (see Clifford!!!) Time and time again, he raises this movie above being one of the rest. Kisrten, as usual, does an amazing job with a more limited role. Colin Hanks shows some acting chops, while shane west seemed to enjoy hamming it up for his 1 dimensional role. Ben Foster was probably thie biggest dissapointment of the movie, he never seemed to really get into his role, and he looks bored throughout. The best part of this movie is his parents, they make being over the top "cool" parents seem actually believable, and the movie even seems to mock this. good stuff, see this over bring it on

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: get over it
Review: really, really bad movie, i do not recomend seeing it, let alone buying it! a complete waste of money and time

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Movie
Review: This is a great movie. It's fun, musical, and hysterical. My friend and I watch it over and over. I think it has more meaning to us because we were in A Midsummer Night's Dream, but it is definitely worth your time to check out!!

Put your hand down little Steve!!! HAHAHA

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: IF IN MOOD FOR SOME "MINDLESS FUN," THIS WILL DO.
Review: I feel foolish renting this movie. I'll admit that I saw a picture somewhere of Kirsten Dunst and Mila Kunis in bikinis, and although that brief part near the beginning was quite enjoyable, the movie never gets more interesting. Yeah, I like Kirsten like most people, and I found most of the actors good enough. Still, why is it that when you see a modern teenage comedy, you have to leave your brain someplace else?

Berke (dorky name, dude) is dumped by his girlfriend, who is nicely played by Melissa Sagemilleru, and since he was friends with her since childhood, the pain caused by the separation is justified. Where I had trouble is that there was any chance that Berke would be so lucky to have a young, beautiful woman like the character played by Kirsten Dunst look at him! He's an average high-school guy; she's a Goddess. Anyway, predictable events continue, yada, yada, yada...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love this show!
Review: Frankly, I'm not a big fan of Kirsten Dunst, but Martin Short MAKES this movie. Ben Foster is pretty good, too. It's really funny and I really think you'll like it.
