Summary: Gross jokes taken too far
Review: The typical teen movie has a lot of gross jokes and an air of comedy in it. So does a mickeytake movie like Scary Movie.Scary Movie worked cause the films it parodies are serious, and so you can make a funny version and it's cool. With the teen comedies parodied in this movie there was already humour and gross jokes, so the crew made the mistake of having more extreme jokes than the films they parody, which ends up rather OTT and too forced to be funny. Take the scene where the horny school guys are in a ventilation pipe above the girls' toilet watching a student take a dump. This could have been funny handled well, but the pipe collapses and so does the floor of the toilet when the guys land in it, resulting in the toilet and the students crashing into the classroom below, and tons of fake turd going everywhere and covering everyone. Little kids might laugh at the presence of fake turd, but most people who watch this genre of movie (mid to late teens) will think this is really lame. Sadly a lot of the jokes in the movie are the same. There are some good parts to this movie, but they are generally short, spread out and they don't do enough to make the movie good. See this at the cinema if nothing else is on, and don't buy it.

Summary: A very funny spoof on all the teen movies
Review: Ok,so I am reading these bad reviews on "Not Another Teen Movie" and I am wondering if I saw the same movie as them.This movie was so funny I was almost rolling on the floor in some places.The movie is initially a spoof on teen flicks such as:"She's All That","Varsity Blues","Can't Hardly Wait",and many others.The movie was well acted by the whole cast.The jokes were very well written.The movie contains amusing cameo's from Melissa Joan Hart and teen film veteran Molly Ringwald.This movie is for everyone who has seen the teen flicks from the past 15 years.They don't only spoof ones from the past 3 or 4 years they get them all.Funny and well written.

Summary: I laughed maybe twice during the entire film...
Review: I actually thought that this would be a halfway decent spoof. The previews were hilarious, but they also gave away all of the movie's funniest parts. Aside from a few scenes, none of this was even remotley funny. It was mainly very crude and offensive, and I am sorry to say that I wasted my time watching it. The film borrows it's plot from "She's All That", in which the popular jock makes a bet to turn the school nerd into the prom queen. From there on, theres nothing but filth. There were two scenes that I laughed at: a spoof of a musical number from "Grease", and the spoof of the Ricky Fitts character from "American Beauty". I gave this film two stars basically because the spoof of Ricky was just totally hilarious. If you certainly must see this film, I would advise you to skip it for now, and wait until the video/DVD arrives--or then again, don't bother!

Summary: Funny enough to be pleasing.
Review: "Scary Movie" was a surprise hit when released in 2000, using spectacular gross-outs and in-jokes in an all-stops out parody of teenage horror films of the 90's. Of course, that success led to a sequel, as well as the notion that another genre of movies was ripe for a fresh beating: the teenage comedy genre. That's where "Not Another Teen Movie" comes in, doing "Scary Movie" one better with a parade of extreme gross-outs and satirical looks at the teen movies of the previous decade. Of course, there's no new ground covered in this territory, which lapses from chuckler to full-out gutbuster at various points in its running time. Like "Scary Movie," there are main characters who each represent those from different teen-oriented movies, thrown together into a storyline that combines the most salacious and memorable scenes from each film and casts them into a comedic light. Those with a weak stomach should definitely look elsewhere, and cynics will undoubtedly despise the movie for its willingness to become what it spoofs; however, the film is serviceable entertainment that delivers what it promises. The plot is pretty basic: high school teenager Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh), who spends her time reading self-help books on teen rebellion and indulging herself perhaps a bit too much while watching "She's All That," is the odd duck of the group of teenagers attending John Hughes High School. When she's asked out by popular football jock Jake Wyler (Chris Evans), she finds herself at the center of a bet between Jake and his fellow teammates as to whether or not he can turn her appearance around before senior prom. Attached to the cookie-cutter plot are various subplots derived from such movies as "Cruel Intentions," as Jake's sister Catherine puts some not-so-subtle moves on him, and "Never Been Kissed," as actress Beverly Poclyn prances around the school, wrinkles and all, pretending to be a student. Such stints provide some extremely crude humor, most notably the girl-on-girl kiss scene, which may send some reeling for the bathroom (for anyone who has seen the previews, don't say you weren't warned). Yet, in spite of its outright embracement of voracious crudeness, I found myself enjoying the movie for the most part. The comical look at the cheerleader comedy "Bring It On" is absolutely riotous, as is cheerleader Sandy Sue, who lapses into vicious fits of profanity in the blink of an eye. Janey Briggs is modeled after Jason Biggs's character in "American Pie," from which the movie gathers much of its comedy, including an all-stops-out version of the toilet scene, and its very own foreign exchange student who spends the movie parading around in her birthday suit; even the subtitles for her dialogue are spaced out so nothing is hidden from view. Some modern audiences may not understand some of the film's references to such movies as "The Breakfast Club," or why such stars as Randy Quaid, who appears as Janey's drunken, pie-plunging father, are present in such a film. This is low-brow comedy at its most hardcore, surpassing previous films in its extreme nature, but not quite in its humor. I expected a little more from "Not Another Teen Movie," but enjoyed its pleasantries in spite of its shortcomings.

Summary: Could have been better....But very funny.....JUST LIKE LIFE!
Review: I am not saying that the movie is realistic, because it is completely opposite. I am just relating this movie to our lives, and how screwed up they can be. Life is funny, we all have our ups and downs.....and even if we get what we want, we will still whine and complain, because it is not enough. Stangly enough....that is what this movie was trying to portray...in a very sick, sedistic kinda way. Now, here is the problem. If you have seen movies like, The Animal, Ace Ventura..1&2, The Naked Gun Series, Scary Movie..1&2, and all of those type of movies...expect much of the same......but more modern. It takes captions of 10 things I hate about you, Cruel Intentions, and about five other movies that have came out in the past year or so. This movie is hillarious, but I think that they go overboard too much. I enjoy humor alot, but I think they could have done without some of the extreme nasty crud, because it can make you uncomforable to sit through it and watch. But that didn't happen too often. I went to watch Not Another Teen Movie the week after it came out, and there still was a large crowd. I saw it with my best friend, and we couldn't stop laughing. We are both 19, and in college......but don't let that make you discouraged. My mother and father went to watch this movie also.......they said it was somewhat disgusting, but hillarious. Not Bad considering that my dad is 48 and my mom is 46. I wouldn't take my little brother or sister to see it though. It would be too much for little children to watch. Overall, I would have given it a 5 star rating, but I felt it was a little too much. I like funny, but not ridiculous. Well, go and watch it with a crowd, and have fun.

Summary: Different strokes for different folks
Review: If you like American Pie, Adam Sandler and Scary movie, you will laugh at this movie. If not DO NOT SEE IT, simple as that. I only saw this movie because my friends made me, it was not worth the [price] I paid to see it.

Summary: Amusing spoof with a good cast
Review: "Not Another Teen Movie," directed by Joel Gallen, is a silly, entertaining spoof of the whole teen movie genre. Films from the 1980s John Hughes heyday onward are satirized: "Pretty in Pink," "The Breakfast Club," "American Pie," etc. Although not all of the jokes work, the movie as a whole is pretty funny. The story follows a group of students at John Hughes High School (wink, wink). Each character is a recognizable genre stereotype: the cocky blond guy, the desparate virgin, the sexy foreign exchange student, etc. One of the film's best assets is its likable young cast. The actors tear into the silly material with enthusiasm. Chris Evans is solid as "popular jock" Jake Wyler, as is Chyler Leigh as Janey Briggs, the "ugly" girl who just needs to lose her ponytail and glasses. But the most hilarious performance is probably turned in by Jaime Pressly, who is deliciously over-the-top as "nasty cheerleader" Priscilla. The main cast is nicely complemented by some clever cameos; I won't ruin the fun surprises by revealing those cameos here. There is a lot of gross-out humor involving incest, masturbation, and various bodily secretions. The film actually starts off strong with a spectacularly funny sequence involving an adult "toy." Yes, some of the dialogue and abundant sight gags are crude, cruel, violent, and even exploitative, so avoid the film if you're sensitive to such stuff. The cast performs a big musical number, and the film also makes clever use of recognizable songs. NATM isn't exactly Oscar Wilde, but for what it is, it's fun.

Summary: Not Another Teen Movie is simply Not A Funny Movie
Review: Not Another Teen Movie is one of the most profoundly stupid movies I've seen all year. What were the filmmakers smoking when they created this garbage? Anyone who praises this movie by giving it five stars and saying that it's better than Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2, etc. etc. (or even Lord Of The Rings) should be ashamed of themselves and seek medical attention immediately. The jokes are lame (including that sentimental moment between Janey and her father, which is a spoof of something from Sixteen Candles), the concept is unoriginal, and what was Molly Ringwald doing as a flight attendant at the end of the film? I went to this movie with an open mind and expected to laugh at some parts, but I didn't crack a smile or a grin during the running of this movie.
I think people know that Not Another Teen Movie was an unfunny and gross movie, but they want to support this movie anyway because they hate Scary Movie. That, or people just have a bad taste in movies.
The musical number before the Senior Prom....well, it was okay. Any of the girls (Jaime Pressly, Chyler Leigh, etc.) sing a lot better than that phony pop music singer who calls herself Britney Spears. In fact, anyone can sing better than her, and I wish that this movie had ripped her to shreds. Then maybe I would've liked it.
Not Another Teen Movie is filmmaking at its worst and most tasteless. This movie is a freak show. But I will admit that the naked foreign exchange student was worth the price of admission. She was nice to look at, but unfortunately, she wasn't enough to save this movie. I would not go see this movie again just because of a gorgeous woman like her, but I would like to see her naked in other movies.
