Summary: Falls down in some places, but very funny overall
Review: I was in high school when John Hughes released some of his most memorable movies, and I really enjoyed how this film poked fun at movies like "The Breakfast Club," "Sixteen Candles," and "Pretty in Pink." Even "Risky Business" is spoofed. Also, the cameo by Molly Ringwald, perhaps the queen of 80s teen movies, is great.Crossing over into the 90s, "She's All That," "American Pie," and "Can't Hardly Wait" also receive some good-natured jabs. Lacey Chabert is excellent, reprising the "Hardly Wait" role of her "Party of Five" co-star, Jennifer Love Hewitt. Where this movie strays, however, is when the humor takes a scatological turn. For some reason, we are expected to enjoy jokes about excrement; and, judging from the silence of the people sitting around me in the theater, we weren't amused. Furthermore, if the intent was to shock us, that intent failed, too. We were simply disgusted. Oddly enough, Neal Moritz, who produced "Cruel Intentions," also produced this movie. You would think that he would show more respect to his original. It's one thing to push the envelope . . . it's another to tear the envelope open and run it through the paper shredder. Comedic timing is the trick to making an audience laugh. It's also knowing when you've pushed the joke far enough. Occasionally, this movie pushes it too far. More often than not, however, the jokes hit the target, and the laughs are plentiful.

Summary: Not another movie to take seriously
Review: Anyone going into this movie to get a good laugh AND a good plot, please. This movie is for the kids that laugh at funny ACE stuff. I mean come on, the excrement thing was great, people don't laugh at that in public... but sit on your couch and when she wants the dump on her chest you'll be rolling on the floor laughing, not throwing up or anything like that. This movie is a great poke of fun into the mainstream cliche movies of multiple decades that were aimed towards teenagers. Since our culture is in love with movies like American pie, roadtrip, and Old school, this NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE seems just like another teen movie because we love disgusting stuff!!!ROCK ON

Summary: it's not funny, it's not even bearable...
Review: A girl crapping? Some hillbilly freak masturbating? That stupid little guy being beheaded on a football feild?
Is this supposed to amuse me?
Why? Is this what we have become?
I could feel my I.Q dropping rapidly as I watched. Get out while you still can.

Summary: Awesome Parody
Review: I happen to be a humongous fan of parodies, and when I saw this I almost died laughing. If you didn't like this you're either A. Way too uptight and cannot take a joke about your favorite movies or B. you don't like jokes about sex, diarrhea, vibrators, or parted subtitles. If you did like this I highly recommend Scary Movie and MAD magazine. I'm outtie!

Summary: High School Hijinks
Review: Teen movies get slammed in the genre spoof "Not another Teen Movie". The popular high school jock (Chris Evans) makes a bet with his pals to turn the school's social outcast (Chyler Leigh) into a prom queen. If the story sounds familiar to "She's All That", then you are definitely right. The movie targets a wide range of teen romances and comedies including "She's All That", "American Pie", "Varsity Blues" and "Bring It On". The movie contains outrageous visual gags and crude humor, and the cast seemed to have fun while making the film. The story is painfully predictable and many jokes often fall flat. The movie features some amusing cameos by Molly Ringwald (Pretty in Pink) and Mr. T. The film is presented in a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen format. Its picture quality is quite flawless and the 5.1 Dolby Digital sound is great. The DVD features audio commentaries with filmmakers and cast members, behind-the-scenes featurettes, 18 deleted scenes, a music video, theatrical trailers and a fun teen movie quiz. The animated menus are stunning with catching images. Despite the movie's low points, "Not another Teen Movie" scores a "C".

Summary: as funny as Scary Movie or Austin Powers' trilogies
Review: all of the nasty jokes reminded me when i was in high school ('90s) because we used to do jokes as nasty and as gross, even the teachers were into it. now i'm in university and this is a good movie that will remind you of the good ol' high school time. if you find nasty gross jokes offensive, then your a freakin "Ned Flanders".

Summary: Truthful stereotypes
Review: So many negative reviews I have seen on this movie, but people seem to be watching this movie with extreme prejudice. There are numerous times in this movie that I could have been offended but the writers meant no malicious intent. With regards to the comedy you are best to be a generation 'Y' kid as most of the humor is from the late 80s and up.
Hands down this movie deserves a fice star rating on the basis of its premise, a satirical humor. It focused a lot on today's youth and silly human mating rituals...
My favorite part of this movie is the gentlemen who can never clap at the appropriate time and when given the opportunity to do so he failed miserably and beat some guy up who clapped first. Just watch the movie, don't listen to the reviews except for this one!
Until next time,

Summary: Nothing special, but quite entertaining
Review: !Heather's teenage son!
The movie takes 'Scary Movie'-style humor and makes it raunchier & more disgusting & twisted. The film really isn't that good, but it sure does entertain when it's on Comedy Central. I loved the 'Bring It On' part of the film with the white cheerleaders who think they are black. I also loved the song part of the film, plus Good Charlotte performs covers of classic songs and their own in this film. If you find it in a bargain bin for like 5 bucks like I did, then buy it. Otherwise, it's not worth 14 bucks.

Summary: SOOO BAD I am surpised it STUCK to FILM!!!
Review: One of thee most OFFENSIVE movies I have had the displeasure of seeing. This movie if you can even call it a movie is merely a- waste- of- time- snippets of any chance to be as disgusting, crude, offensive and unfunny as possible.I am not taken back easily but was surprised this movie did not earn a NC-17 rating. The scene with the catholic school girl was the icing on the cake of offensivness....some people seriously sold there souls to the devil.and their brains to monkeys..for this to be made

Summary: It's only a parody
Review: This movie is just a parody of teen movies people! It's not made to be Shakespeare,it's just a parody.The only purpose it serves is to entertain,and that it does.It mocks not only the teen movies from the 90's like "She's All That" and "American Pie" but it also mocks the 80's teen movies as well like "Pretty In Pink" and "Breakfast Club",and every teen flick in between.Yes,they overdid it with a couple of scenes but when this movie is funny it's funny.The special features and commentaries are amazing! Oh yeah,there's a Marilyn Manson video on here too.
Favorite scenes:
THE CHEERLEADERS' ROUTINE - "We shake our big booties and show it..."
"PROM TONIGHT"-The musical number of the movie."I have no money,have to make my own dress..."
JANEY'S PARTY DANCE - This scene was a deleted scene for some reason.Of all the deleted scenes,this one should have been worked in the movie.Features a hilarious spoof of "Save The Last Dance"
My favorite character:The cruelest girl.With a couple of exceptions,she had me in stiches.
P.S.: The more you know about the teen movies they are lampooning (1982-2001),the funnier the movie is.
