Not Another Teen Movie

Summary: Wasted potential
Review: Don't get me wrong, I love good low brow comedies and spoofs, but Not Another Teen Movie disappointed ... me on so many levels. The idea is great, spoof all the ... meaningless teen movies of today along with good teen films of the 80's, along with great cameos by Molly Ringwald and Paul Gleason could have set this film to new heights (not to mention Chris Evans' final speech to Chyler Leigh at the airport is hilarious) but a number of the jokes just miss the mark that they aimed for. It seems the writers (all five of them) couldn't come up with anything other than sex jokes to poke fun at, and while that may not be such a bad thing, one would expect a bit more. The naked exchange student is a blast and a half, while Randy Quaid seems to be a bit misused, and Mia Kirshner's kiss with the undercover elderly lady just sends chills down my spine and kills any thoughts of that exchange student I might have. All in all, Not Another Teen Movie had a good premise, but just failed in it's delivery.

Summary: Hollywood Needed A Tax Write-Off!
Review: With five writers, you'd figure something funny would happen, but it was just embarrasing. Scenes fell flat. Jokes wandered. Actors looked like fools without being funny. The toilet excrement scene made no sense and was dumb. Just dumb. The "girl with Tourette" scene was horribly cruel and another scale on which to judge the sheer lack of cohesiveness or talent here. Sorry to be so mean, but what did they really expect? With all that money spent? It's all been done so many times before, why wasn't it at least copied instead of dumbed down? Ah, Hollyweed.

Summary: Smells Like Teen Spirit
Review: If you've ever seen any of the teen movies "Not Another Teen Movie" spoofs, you will find this movie absolutely hilarious. I found this movie absolutley hilarious. There are some parts that are completly unbelievable, I was thinking whoa, they went WAY TOO FAR. Some of it was a bit excessive, like too much of a good thing. One of my favourite parts was the kissing scene between the teen-age girl and an old woman. (was this spoofing "Never Been Kissed?). The old woman says "are you for real?"...that line totally cracked me up, I was thinking the same thing she was. I didn't care for the ending, but overall, this movie had me LOL.

Summary: Not Another Teen Movie
Review: NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE was a great idea, I just felt that the execution was poor. This movie made fun of all of the recent teen movies like BRING IT ON, SHE'S ALL THAT, AMERICAN PIE and AMERICAN PIE 2, 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, VARSITY BLUES and even SAVE THE LAST DANCE was made fun of in this movie.

The reason I think the execution of the movie was bad was because I just didn't think that it lived up to what it shold have been. Plus this movie made fun of some big movies (AMERICAN PIE and AMERICAN PIE 2) and I have to say it, those 2 were extremely funny so in turn this one had to be equal and instead it wasn't as funny. It was just silly in parts.

The DVD was also kind of disappointing. The deleted scenes weren't all that great either. The JERRY MAGUIRE ending wasn't an alternative ending in my opinion because all it was, was the same ending in a different camera angle. Personally, I'd rather watch the movies that this one parodied. The safest bet with this one would be to rent it first.

Summary: Hilarious!!!!!
Review: When I rented this movie on DVD the other day, I thought it was going to be just like any other teen sex comedy, but I was wrong. This movie was ten times more funny than American Pie or National Lampoons Senior Trip. Not Another Teen Movie lives up to its title, and it was so darn funny that I was laughing outloud. Like Scary Movie did with its horror-genre, Not Another Teen Movie makes fun of other teen movies from the 90's and even the 80's. This awesome DVD also contains special features including: Marilyn Manson's Tainted Love music video, outtakes, deleted scenes, a yearbook, and other exciting features. This movie is rated R for crude humor, nudity, and lots of profanity, but it's so cool. Bottom line? GET IT!!!

Summary: It's harmless
Review: Centered around the plot of "SHE'S ALL THAT", this movie is entertaining, but just a little bit. It has a good promise of wrecking havoc upon the brainless teen movies, but, in the end, it becomes another teen movie.

Summary: Not Another Mediocre Teen Movie!
Review: Come on, you knew this was going to happen. After the immense success of "Scary Movie" and "Scary Movie 2", you knew the only other recent film trend to be spoofed beside teen slasher films were teen high school comedies. It seems to be a perfect target for spoofing. This movie could of been a real fun ride, and at times it is, but it fails in some places and the jokes feel flat and routine. However, it's a pleasant enough distraction for 90 minutes, and the film does have a decent share of good chuckles. Not to mention some nice looking females to look at. The plot, if you can call it that, is pretty much following the "She's All That" formula. The cool, high school king is given a bet by his loser friends to change some poor, unattractive girl st school into a knockout and win homecoming queen. Nothing fresh or new there. Of course, the girl in question is, quite obviously, a pretty girl already!. That's one of the jokes in here. How the nerdy, loser girl that is supposed to be transformed into a beauty is already a beauty to begin with. The girl, Jaynie Briggs, is played by lovely and pretty Chyler Leigh("Safe Harbor", "Girls Club"), and she is nice to watch. Everyone else is going thru the motions. The other characters are all forms of characters from teen movies. You got the geeky guy who longs after the girl, The token black guy that's there to have some funny comment, the popular and pretty girl that's just a huge witch, the nerdy geeks looking to score, and the football coach who yells and screams and throws his clipboard down. They are all here. While many recent films like "Bring It On", "Never Been Kissed", "Cruel Intentions", "Varsity Blues", "American Pie", and "American Beauty" are spoofed, many older ones like "Better Off Dead", "Risky Business", "Pretty In Pink", and the John Hughes collection get the parody treatment as well. There are even some pretty good cameos in here from Paul Gleason, who played the principal in "The Breakfast Club", "Sabrina" star Melissa Joan Hart, and the teen queen herself, Molly Ringwald. In fact, Molly's small part is the best part of the film. The humor is pretty much what you expected to be. Lowbrow comedy that hits it on the mark every once in a while, but misses more often than not. Silly, juvenile humor is okay every once in a while, but it gets really old and monotonous after a period of time as well. The jokes here are nothing new and the overall film doesn't add anything different to the cluttered cannon of teen films and spoof films. Randy Quaid, Jaime Pressley, and former "Party Of Five" co-star Lacey Chabert also appear. Ignore the one star review below. A pile of whatever he says could come from anyone and anywhere. Didn't Australia give us Yahoo Serious?. Enough said. Has it's moments, but could of been so much better.

Summary: A Load of American ...
Review: This was the worst movie I had ever seen. It demorilises what society is, and just uses the worst form of toilet humor. It is so insulting and just another heap of American ....

Summary: Too disgusting for it's own good
Review: The DVD quality is nice, good selection of features and Manson's video is great. The film was written with some humor, exposing elements of dumb teen movies and thrashing them well. Though it was too sickening, too gross with a poor ending, it just wasn't funny enough. I especially dislike seeing it in Widescreen format, as it's just not artistic enough to justify (sorry, WS lovers). A lot of detail cannot be seen on most tvs, I have a new 27" and WS just isn't suited for films of this type, unless you're watching on a comp or 16:9 tv (which aren't so numerous). They should have included both versions on two discs or made it dual-layered.

Summary: And it had such potential...
Review: I hate teen movies. Actually, scratch that. "Hate" just isn't a strong enough word. I despise teen movies with a vengence. It was for this reason that I decided to check out Not Another Teen Movie in the admittedly niave hope that it might be funny.

The movie is a parody of most recent teen flicks ranging from Bring it On to Varisty Blues. Unfortunatly, Not Another Teen Movie ends up being just as immature and mindless as the films it is trying to make fun of. On the one hand, the writers should be commended for at least doing their homework and they manage to pick out many of the worst parts from the various films. It's obvious that they studied these movies quite a bit which is a grueling task to say the least. Unfortunatly, when the mockary comes, it useually ends up simply being toliet humor. One must wonder that, with films as bad as these, the writers had to resort to toilet humor when there is simply so much to make fun of.

It's really quite a shame because the film could have been quite hilarious. Unfortunatly, it ends up being simply another teen movie.
