Summary: A good piece of teen material
Review: Wait! Stop for a second!.Are you aware that this is a teen spoof/parody comedy?, it's not an Oscar nomination movie.No!! Not at all!.That's why you shoul review this film by the jokes and ideas and not the plot or if it's stupid or not.If you didn't like `Scary Movie', you won't enjoy this one at all.
It's a superficial plot, full of gags and surprises that were really funny. Movies like `Shrek',`Shriek if you know what you did last Friday the 13th', `Naked gun' or even `Scary Movie 2' are parodies.What does that mean?, a movie that makes funny of other films.
This one makes funny of a bunch of old and new teen movies, like
`She's all that', `Jawbreaker', `Varsity Blues',`American Pie', `Can't hardly wait',`Bring it on',`16 candles', `The breakfast club',`Cruel Intentions',`Grease',`Almoust famous',`American beauty', `Never been kissed',`Save the last dance' and a lot more. The plot: Like I said, the plot in this movies are senseless, but this one was aceptable.
Jake just broke up with Priscilla, so he and his friends make a bet about him, dating the uglyest girl in school for the prom and make her the Prom Queen.
So now Jake is dating Janey, the ugly pretty girl.But his sister Catherine, wants to have sex with him, and her best friend is in love with her, but she doesn't like him. The characters: The rich jock(Jake), the hole school is in love with him.
The token black guy(Malik), he's always there but no one cares about him.The cruelest girl(Catherine) she just wants to have sex with his brother Jake.But she helps Janie to become a queen.
The ugly pretty girl(Janey), she's ugly at first, but pretty a the end.She's in love with Jake.
The cocky blonde guy, he's Jake's boy, a football player.The bitchie cheerleder(Priscilla)she broke up with Jake and is now dating a weirdo.The fat guy(The same from Varsity Blues, Billy Bob) he's fat and about to die.
The desperate virgins, they made a pact: Have sex before graduation.The best friend, he's in love with Janie.Obssesed. This movie was very funny at the begining, but when the 60 minutes started to run, the movie was getting a little...NOT FUNNT.But then at the end was a little more...original.
The first 50 minutes are hilarious, the presentation of the character, I couldn't stop loughing.
The `Never been kissed' joke was one of the best, there was no cute Drew Barrymore, there was an old nasty lady.
10 things I love about Janie, and not 10 things I hat about you.
`She's all that' all over the movie, and chok laugh of `American Beauty' and `Bring it on'. A good way to spend an hour and a half, teen version of`Scary Movie'.
The DVD was excellent.A lot of extras, documentaries, Marilyn Manson's Tainted Love makin' the video, an I.Q. test of teen movies, like 20 deleted scenes, and a lot more.
Like an hour of extra fun!!.
Worth renting and maybe buying! Cast:
Chyler Leigh(Janey), Chris Evans(Jake), Jamie Pressly(Priscilla), Eric C. Olson(Austin), Mia Kirshner(Catherine), Deon Richmond(Malik), Eric Jungman(Ricky), Ron Lester(Regie Ray)
Rated: R
Running time: 90minutes. Final Grade: B

Summary: This movie is so funny.
Review: I think this movie is so funny. 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 offended by it they just cant take a joke. It is all for fun. If people keep being offended easily at everything then this world is going straight to hell.

Summary: Not Another Parody
Review: The promos for this movie looked pretty funny, but although some scenes will really crack you up, this movie is just a bit too bland for my taste. This is just one more parody of those teen flicks out there. I guess the makers of this movie thought that since Scary Movie did so well, how could this spoof go wrong. I think we've all seen one to many movies like this one.
John Hughes High School is no different from any other high school: There are clicks of jocks, nerds, cool girls, the haves and the have nots. The least likely guys ant to get together with the best looking girls, and the nerdy girls dream of dating the great looking jocks. Popular jock Jake bets that he can make any girl a prom queen (sound familiar?) His friends pick unpopular Janey - the poor girl with the ponytail and glasses that likes to paint. Her brother is after the hottest girl in school. He plans to give her a letter designed to make her fall in love with him. This movie contains spoofs of She's All That, Can't Hardly Wait, The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Rudy, American Pie, 10 Things I Hate About You, and more.
There are some good points to this movie: 1. Lacey Chabert portrays the hottest girl in school, a role once played by her Party Of Five co-cast member Jennifer Love Hewitt in Can't Hardly Wait. 2. Several stars from the old teen movies make appearances in this movie. Molly Ringwald is a teen romance bashing flight attendant. Paul Gleason reprises his role as the principal in a parody of one of the most memorable scenes from The Breakfast Club. Sean Patrick Thomas makes an appearance as well. 3. The subtle references to other teen movies. The name of the school is John Hughes High School - John Hughes is famous for his teen angst movies. Posters, writing on the walls, names of areas within the school - all refer to scenes or characters from other teen movies. 4. The parody of the overly hyped American Pie scene with Jason Biggs and a freshly baked pie.
And yet, I feel this falls short of its intended goal - hysterical laughter. The film could have been done better and in much better taste. There is no need to see naked women in every other scene - it doesn't make the movie any funnier.
In other words - rent this movie, don't buy it. You'll save money and get a chuckle or two.

Summary: Very good for this genre, some good laughs
Review: "Not Another Teen Movie" is suprisingly good spoof of the high-school comedy-drama genre, and of course is in itself a high-school comedy-drama. Coming on the heels of such jaw-droppingly idiotic features as "Road Trip," "Scary Movie 2," and "American Pie 2," this is a refreshingly (kind of) intelligent spoof of favorites like "She's All That" and "Can't Hardly Wait" as well as the more recent films mentioned above. The plot... well, you know, another teen movie. As long as you're not scared off by the overly grotesque opening sequence this is good for some laughs, gross-out and otherwise.
Rating: 
Summary: Hilarious'
Review: Yes, the movie is on the dumber side, but it's dumb in the good way that doesn't insult your intelligence (for the most part anyway...).... THE STORY: This movie's plot, at its most basic, is a retelling of the 'She's All That' story where the popular guy tries to make the 'ugly-duckling' chick into the popular prom queen. The students and campus of John Hughes (yuck yuck) High School provide the background. THE COOL THINGS: The movie, as its heart, is a spoof of most of the late 90s teen movies and an homage to the teen movies of the 1980s. Among the movies saluted here include: 'She's All That,' '10 Things I Hate About You,' 'Never Been Kissed,' 'Varsity Blues,' 'Can't Hardly Wait,' 'Bring It On,' 'Cruel Intentions,' 'American Beauty,' The 'American Pie,' movies, 'Grease,' 'The Breakfast Club,' 'Pretty in Pink,' 'Sixteen Candles,' 'Almost Famous,' and 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' On a whole, the movie is great for what it is, a rip on everyone's favorite movie genre. If you are a fan of spoofs and teen movies, this is definitely a great movie to see for a good laugh. Most of the jokes are dead on. Yes, a few of them bomb totally (ie ' the bathroom scene, and the football scene) as just stupid, but on a whole, you'll be laughing your socks off most of the time. BEST SCENES: 1. The Grease Tribute Scene WORST SCENE(S): 1. The toilet scene 2. Football flashback 3. 'Brother-sister' lovin' 4. 'Girl-girl' lovin' THE DVD FEATURES: If you love stacked DVDs, this DVD should be no exception. Here's what you got in this one: 1. Commentary Tracks: There are 3 commentary tracks to choose from ' 1) Filmmaker's commentary, 2) Cast commentary and 3) Teen Movie factoids commentary. 2. 'School's In Session': 3 separate featurettes. 1) 'Best Dressed' ' 9 minute wardrobe featurette, 2) 'Class Clown' ' 9 minute featurette where the Director discusses the filming of the 'gag' scenes, 3) 'Freshman Year' ' The director and cast discusses the movie and some of the more controversial scenes. 3. Deleted Scenes: THE BEST PART ABOUT THE DVD. 19 deleted scenes, most totally hilarious!!! Too bad these didn't make it into the movie as they (unlike most deleted scenes) would have added to the movie. 4. Marilyn Mansoon's 'Tainted Love' music video. 5. 'Yearbook' ' cast photo gallery. THE VERDICT: In all, the movie is great for what it is ' a hilarious comedy. Sure a few of the scenes are really dumb, but on a whole the comedy is fairly intelligent and hilarious. Again, if you are into spoofs and teen movies, this movie is definitely worth seeing. If you need to unwind and get a good laugh, watch this. The DVD, if you are so inclined, will make a perfect addition to your collection as the extras are definitely worth your time and purchase. Highly Recommended

Summary: The Trailer is significantly funnier than the movie
Review: I'm only writing this review because Amazon "recommended" this flick for me. There's really not much to say about this movie except that if you've seen the commercial you've enjoyed yourself a lot more than if you've had to sit through the full length feature. The gags are funny - in theory. In practice, the director, uhm, how should I say this...is [poor]. He has absolutely no sense of COMIC TIMING, which is essential in a comedy. Hence, you're left watching a joke, thinking this should be funny, but yet you're not laughing. Go with something like Screwballs, 100 Girls, American Pie, Porky's, or Scary Movie instead.

Summary: Another Ok Teen Movie
Review: When I saw this flick, I didn't it was too bad. There is a 50-50 opinion about this movie, but I stand with those who think it's a good movie. Not Another Teen Movie is as we may all know, a paraody of most of the "teen" movies made like She's All That (it was actually shot at the school were She's All That was shot as well), American Pie, and most of John Hughes films, etc. The main plot (which is pretty much plotless) is mostly based on She's All That, when Jake the main chracter bets that he could turn Janey (a good looking chick wearing glasses and a pony tail) into a prom queen. But, that doesn't really hang for long, for we are also pulled into other stuff rather than seeing Janey become a prom queen.
There are some hilarous scenes and it has the typical parody lines in this flick. Could be considered boring for those who like more of tasteful movies (because let's face it, this movie is tasteless), while this movie is just for laughs and a way to see those stuff seen in those teen movies we like, again. I recommend it to all those who like "Scary Movie", for this does indeed live up to it.
But however, I do recommend that you rent it first, because Not Another Teen Movie is one flick that can vary people's opinion very fast and heavily.

Summary: Could have been better
Review: This movie successfully parodies popular teen movies such as
Cruel Intentions
The Breakfast Club
Jawbreaker
Bring it On
Can't Hardly Wait
just to name a few. The parodies of these movies were very funny, and the reason why I give this film 3 stars. Unfortunately, the main plot of this movie is a parody of She's all That--in which the "popular jock" makes a bet to make the "pretty ugly girl" into a prom queen--which falls flat on it's face. Too much time is spent on these scenes, which are tired and lifeless. Chyler Leigh and Chris Evans are initally funny in their respective roles, but these 2 could not carry the movie as it's stars. Maybe if this movie had been more balanced between all of the teen movies, it would have been more successful at being funny.
