Rating: Summary: Brainless Fun! Ain't Nothing Wrong with That Review: Forgive me for liking Not Another Teen Movie, but I couldn't help it. It's not because I found all of the humour (Sick, crazy humour) funny, but it's because of all the references and spoofs that it set out to do. It pokes fun at almost every single teen movie released in the past 4 years, and managed to spoof some from the 80s as well. The film takes the basic storyline of She's All That, and moves on from there introducing each one of the characters. Each taken from different movies with combinations of its characters. The most entertaining - to me - was The Cruelest Girl based on Sarah Michelle Gellar's Kathryn from Cruel Intentions and the trio of desperate virgins based mainly on the American Pie guys. And kudos to the casting team for getting Molly Ringwald to set our two leads straight in the end! In accordance with my positive notes, I do have one negative. I didn't really expect the film to have an even plot, but there were a few plot holes that just lingered and never were covered up. But who really cares in a movie like this? The DVD special edition should satisfy anyone with 18 deleted and extended scenes. All of which are fun to watch (Especially the extended musical scene with more of the characters having their part. Even Reggie Ray). There are two commentaries from the cast and crew to listen, 3 fun to watch featurettes, audition footage (Fun to see the cast joke around and such), the unrated version of Marilyn Manson's Tainted Love, and there's much more to entertain (If you found the movie entertaining). Not Another Teen Movie is brainless, senseless, harmless fun. For others it could be rude, crude, and offensive. But hey, that's what the filmmakers were going for, weren't they?
Rating: Summary: Not another teen spoof Review: With the huge success of 'Scary Movie', it was inevitable that another spoof would arrive on our doorsteps that lampooned teen films. It borrows diversely from a range of such tired flicks, such as 'She's All That', 'Varsity Blues', 'American Pie', 'Cruel Intentions' and oddly enough even 'American Beauty'. The main story is taken from 'She's All That', with a jock trying to help a misfit win Homecoming Queen. Unfortunately it's all a little bit disjointed, with seemingly unrelated scenes following on from each other in the same style that made 'Scary Movie' so unfunny. For instance, the lesbian kiss scene from 'Cruel Intentions' seems completely out-of-place and serves nothing to the story. Okay, so perhaps story wasn't the first thing on the mind of the director but some kind of coherance would have been nice. However, it does manage to win a few laughs, not least in it's admitedly very impressive realisation of teen movie clichés. For instance, the makeover scene, where taking off the character's glasses and letting her hair down immediately transform her into a striking beauty is great, as is the character constantly signposted as a token black guy. This kind of subversion is few and far between though, in a movie that regretably doesn't break the mould in its constant barrage of crude jokes involving masturbation and bodily functions. Whilst definitely better than 'Scary Movie' and 'She's All That', it's perhaps a little galling to have something so tasteless riffing off the much superior 'American Beauty'. Obviously some thought went into this, especially in the scenes mentioned above, but it seems as though the director got scared at the last minute and tried to extract any originality out of it to make way for dumb jokes.
Rating: Summary: Funniest movie of the year! Review: What makes this movie 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 contenct. 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 sense.
Rating: Summary: This movie brings it!! I loved it! Review: I really enjoyed this teen parody allot. This teen movie really took it to the next level and than some. I think its one of those teen comedies your gonna love or hate. It really caught me off guard the degree of rauchiness that was entailed in some of the scene. Ludicrous and at the same time hilarious! Definitely not an oscar performance, but it sure made me laugh. I do think however that allot of the teen movies it pokes fun at, brings out the smiles if the viewer has seen the movies before. I loved it! I bought it on DVD the first week it came out. Hope they make another one. So I can see Jaime Pressly bring it again!
Rating: Summary: This is a movie for TEENS (and not for 60 years old) !!! Review: I am a () guy, so i guess that may be a factor as to why I liked the movie. Don't listen to the 60 year old critics, because the movie simply isnt for them. I enjoyed this movie as much, if not more than Scary Movie. It has tons of laugh out loud moments, and 2 of my favorite moments in movie history - the musical about the prom towards the end, and the cheer spoofing bring it on(we aint white, we definitely aint white! break it down,...)sure there are some misses, but there are clever little things that are put in the movie that you may not see or notice the first time which adds for great repeat viewings.
Rating: Summary: One of the better Teen-comedies Review: I truly enjoy it. Yeah, there are certainly scenes where I have to turn my head away. No, it's not a masterpiece, and yeah there is much gross-out humor. However, compared with other stupid teen-comedies like Scary Movie 2 or American Pie Not Another Teen Movie is a masterpiece. It's much funnier than this movie. That's why it earns 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: Hillarious! Review: This movie was so funny! It's like Scary Movie in ways, except this time they're making fun of teen movies. With parodies like She's All That, American Beauty, Cruel Intentions, 10 Things I Hate About You and more this movie will have you rolling. If your looking for a funny movie I recommend this one.
Rating: Summary: Funny: An outstanding masterpiece !!! Review: I know a lot of people do not like it but I think it is great. The desperate virgins are the best. Oh you laugh the whole movie. If people get offened by it they just cannot take a joke. It is all for fun. If people keep being offened easily at everything then this world is going straight to hell.
Rating: Summary: This is the best movie ever Review: This movie has everything: Nudity, comedy and most of all, Chyler LEigh. She is soooooooo dawn beautiful. It would be better though if they showed her naked. But it was a very funny movie.
Rating: Summary: scary movie is nothing compared to this Review: the funiest movie ever and ive seen my share this movie has it all a good looking cast good acting and a great story. the movie is basicly she all that but a hundred times better. jake(the populare jock)makes a bet to turn a oridary girl into the porn queen thats the basic story but it might sound no good but you have o see it to believe just a good it is. 10 out of 10 if you dont buy it you have to rent it its the best film of the year if not are time.
