Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
this is not a movie that is suitable for everyone.as I said in my summary,it is quite crude and offensive.but it is a real blast to watch.it is very absurd at times,but that make it even more fun to watch.it spoofs mainly eighties and nineties teen comedies.it skewers everybody.no movie is sacred or safe from its onslaught.i thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.it's not a masterpiece,nor does it pretend to be.i laughed hard and frequently and actually hurt myself as a result.if you are someone who gets offended easily,you'll want to sit this one out.otherwise,I would say to turn your brain off for about an hour and a half and enjoy it.for me,Not Another Teen Movie is a 9/10.
This movie kills me. It always has. The jokes are really funny and well timed. It doesn't go too over-the-top, and it gets better every time I watch it. This movie has a lot of the little things that go a long way to make it great. The performances are spot-on. The dialogue is snappy and clever. The pace is fast and the references spot-on.The girls in this movie are also wicked hot. The sister is out of control hot. Just blazing.If you review this movie and say that it's garbage, then you probably eat apples and complain that they don't taste like oranges.
Typical high school teen comedy movie. The two main female characters are pretty nice although I am pretty much over Jaime Pressly. She acts more and more like a bitch when I see her in roles now. My Name is Earl is a great example of how her roles are now so hatefully bitchie. The "poor" teen girl that the high school quarterback says he will turn into a knockout is a little strange but nice looking. Randy Quaid plays her dad and seems to reprise his roles from the National Lampoon movies, still funny but done before. The prom at the hotel where all the studs have rooms is very stereotypical, but the whole movie is kind of that way. I did find it to pretty funny.
I like a good spoof, but dear heavens, there have been some very poor ones in recent years. So I am pleased to report that this is one of the better ones. And there is a very good reason for this - most of the jokes are actually funny. It's amazing how much of a difference that makes in a comedy.if you have ever seen a teen movie (and, if you haven't, why are you watching this?) then the "plot" is going to hold few surprises. In fact, calling it a plot is stretching things: it simply links together a series of variations on episodes from assorted teen movies, the main one of which is the transformation of the geek girl from She's All That.As well as the young cast, there are some seasoned players here, and they're not all slumming.This was quite good fun.
