Summary: Enough already!
Review: For a long time now, we have been subjected to various movies that either rip off or pay homage to another. The comedy style of Not Another Teen Movie is a repitition of what we have seen in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Sacry Movie 1 & 2, Don't Be A Menace... and so many others it is impossible to count. Still, despite what I had heard about the movie, it wasn't so bad.

The humor is rather sickening at times, but I find that sort of thing hilarious so I enjoyed it. The storylines and scenes are ripped almnost entirely from other movies with some shaving down of the bits we said we didn't like (like the heart warming stuff, et all) and the other funny bits they couldn't fit in. It was nice to See Pretty In Pink and The Breakfast Club included in the movies that inspired this one, being two of the best ever.

The soundtrack is fantastic, one of the best I have ever heard, though the original recordings on quite a few were better.

In all, I enjoyed the movie but the enjoyment of repeated viewing is quite low, so you would have to absolutely love this movie to buy it.

Also, the parts taken from Cruel Intentions are the best :D

Summary: Another Rauncy Movie!
Review: Ever since "There's Something About Mary", movies have been trying to top each other with raunchiness. In "Not Another Teen Movie", I actually laughed a lot in the beginning. As the movies goes on, it just gets grosser and unfunnier, till you start thinking "this is stupid!". They poke fun at a lot of teen movies, such as She's All That, Varsity Blues, The Breakfast Club, American Pie, Never Been Kissed, Can't Hardly Wait, Bring it on, 10 Things I Hate About You and every other thinkable teen movie. A lot of it funny, but not all of it works either. Besides overdoing it gross wise, it over does it with the vulgarity as well. I would give some exapmles but I probably shouldn't, lol. One thing I must say I found pretty funny though is the foreign exchange student that walks around nude, that is obviously suppose to be Shannan Elizibeth in American Pie. A lot of the She's All that stuff is pretty funny too. Chyler Leigh (That 80s Show) wants to go to Art School, yet all she draws is smiley faces. Also like the part where the Freddie Prinze Jr. kid goes to help her younger brother when he's getting picked on by bullies and winds up beating him up too. Most of this stuff is just thrown together but not neaty I might add. It's a mess but an occasionally funny mess at that.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Aptly entitled
Review: Well, I had low expectations for this movie, and it delivered on that.

It might have been a clever flick, but instead, the makers insisted knocking off a scene or two from about every "teen" movie in the last 20 years. Therefore, it looks like a mass fingerpainting of a movie, tied together with a few gags.

Unfortunately, all the jokes are just plain uncreative and offensive, either disgusting, perverse, or racist.

Save your money and see one of the "original" teen movie, which are usually cleaner and more creative.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good for some laughs (but it should have been much funnier).
Review: Spoof of the teen genre is mostly middling, but does strike inspiration with its take on stereotypes (The Token Black Guy,The Cocky Blonde Guy, The Pretty Ugly Girl) and their behavior. The first half-hour is pretty damn funny, but the movie starts to lose momentum as it runs along, until it runs out of steam entirely by the end. Gotta love that naked foreign exchange chick (played by a sexy Cerina Vincent, who has a body to die for), though. The DVD features 18 deleted scenes, a lot of which are actually pretty funny, moreso than many of the scenes that were in the actual film itself.
** 1/2 out of *****

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Barely passable as a movie.
Review: If this had been done as an Saturday Night Live skit I might be more forgiving but I expect more from a "movie". Yes there are a few funny scenes (most of which are direct parodies of either "Pretty in Pink" or "The Breakfast Club") which were really well done and the odd references to "Better Off Dead" but all in all this movie is a swing and a miss! The overall plot line is from Pretty in Pink but that is the best we get. There are all sorts of opportunities through out the film for funny side gags and other stories but the director and screen writers seemed to want to bludgeon the viewers into submission with too many potty gags.

I ended up watching only about 55 minutes of the film before I hit fast forward on my DVD player in started skimming. Definately a yawner....

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's Unfortunate
Review: It's a crying shame how studios with access to so much money and "creative" talent end up trying for the lowest common denominator. Porn film makers do it, but then they don't have the same resources. I'm not really comparing this film to porn. It just shows the same lack of thought. With a rich history of teen movie plots and situations to pick from, the writers choose exploding toilets and siamese twins joined at the head. I think midget bowling should have replaced the football game, just to be consistent.
The musical number (Grease?)and the detention scene (Breakfast Club) were good examples of how less is more. Funny, not sick. Even the brief pool side confrontation where Avian water is poured on an already wet Janey ("that will stain!") as a kind of ultimate teen insult is exactly where the humor should have stayed. Unfortunately, the writers couldn't keep working their brains that hard and probably didn't think their audience would "get it".
Chyler Leigh is the only reason to see this thing. I don't think Carol Burnett could have done better at the physical humor or the facial reactions. Given the material, she wouldn't have made the attempt.
Ironically, some of the deleted scenes on the DVD are some of the best ones, even including the naked exchange student with the changing accent. It was her only actually humorous scene.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Easily One of the Funniest Movies I've Ever Seen
Review: "Not Another Teen Movie" is my favorite spoof to date. This teen comedy makes fun of many of the teen movies that have been produced, such as "10 Things I Hate About You," "Never Been Kissed," "American Pie," and many, many more. The movie starts off with a hysterical scene that is very sexual and should not be described here; just buy the movie and you can see it for yourself! The general plot of this fantastic comedy is basically based on "Never Been Kissed" and this film incorporates many other teen comedies to make one of the best films to date.

What makes this film so funny is based on a variety of factors. The movie is a spoof and for viewers that have seen a good majority of the movies that are being made fun of will understand this movie a bit more than a viewer that hasn't seen the movies that are spoofed upon. This doesn't mean, however, that viewers that haven't seen the movies that are being made fun of will not enjoy this.

This movie is also one of the most hysterical comedies ever made because of the sexual content. This movie is NOT for somebody that gets upset from dirty images and sexual references. This film is great for somebody that would enjoy a comedy that can handle the crude language and images. The sex jokes make this film very fun. In fact, I'd say that this movie is way better than American Pie in this sense.

The DVD in general is one of the better DVD's that I have viewed. The menu is very easy to function and works from bottom to top, so don't get confused while making the choice of what you want to watch. Most of the scenes that were deleted in the theater and that are on the DVD are wonderful and add for extra viewing pleasure. In additon to the deleted scenes you will get a chance to view commentaries by the production crew and by the cast. This is one DVD that is not only worth buying because of the film; the content on this DVD is superlative.

"Not Another Teen Movie" easily ranks as one of my all time favorite movies and I doubt that my opinion of this film will ever change. The DVD is wonderful too as it is easy to move around on and the extra bonuses are wonderful. This film is not to be missed by a comedy fan or somebody that wants to see some of the popular teenage movies being made fun of. This is a great movie and DVD that is defintely worth adding to your collection.

Happy Viewing!

Summary: Laughing out loud!
Review: This movie is hilarious! If you have seen and enjoyed "Varisty Blues" "American Pie" "American Beauty" and "Cruel Intensions" (and have a sense of humor) you will pretty much get all of the gags. The opening few minutes sets the tone for the whole movie and it really is a good time. It basically pokes fun of all the teen movies made in the past 10 years. This version also includes cast interviews and the making of Marilyn Manson's video "Tainted Love" which alone makes this movie worth seeing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very gross, but can be clever.
Review: Not exactly what you'd pay to see unless you're into movies like American Pie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, or Scary Movie. I decided to rent it instead, because after a long stretch of entertaining but sometimes repetitive 'teen' movies, I was interested in what Not Another Teen Movie would be like. While watching, I was not only squeaming by the pretty gross things that happened, but I also found myself laughing at some point. It starts off with Janey pleasuring herself while watching She's All That (kind of like how American Pie starts off with Jason Biggs in his room). Kind of gross already.
Pretty much, this movie rips off the likes off She's All That. Janey Briggs is like Laney Boggs. She's beautiful, but because she wears glasses and a ponytail she instantly becomes a dork. Jake Wyler, the popular jock (who is also pretty easy on the eyes) is incidentally dumped by his girlfriend, the popular and pretty Priscilla. Jake's little guy clique (including the funny but witty black guy who's only in this film for his remarks, mocking an often seen cliche) decides to make a bet that he can't turn just any girl into a prom queen. After choosing from several hideous girls-from a hunchback, to an extremely pale girl with bloodshot eyes, to twins attatched at the forehead-they decide to choose Janey. Jake quotes: "Not the glasses! And the ponytail!"
Soon the film follows into the same plot as She's All That but begins to intertwine with many teen movies including: American Pie, 10 Things I Hate About You, Can't Hardly Wait, Bring It On, Cruel Intentions, Varsity Blues, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and much more (even a little bit of Pleasantville and Almost Famous I believe). The movie seems like a big viewing of plain stupidity along with lots of crude, sex-related humor but some decent scenes were pretty funny the first time. Like I said, if you're into stuff like Road Trip (also in this movie), you'll see yourself laughing. With cameo appearances by Molly Ringwald, Mr. T, Melissa Joan Hart, Paul Gleason (returning as a previous role...my favorite scene actually) and a surprising performance from Good Charlotte (singing likable covers) this movie definitely isn't a winner, but it sure entertains.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: dumb flick...
Review: This film is downright lousy, even for its genre - _American Pie_ looks witty and profound by comparison. Just about the only amusing thing was the girl with Tourette's Syndrome who can't contain her ... (adjective removed by amazon) outbursts.
