Sorry, this movie sucks
Boring
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Yes I know some enjoy this movie but me no no no way would I ever torment myself into watching this movie.I enjoy Kirsten Dunst as a actress but this clearly wasn't one of the finest movies in her career nor Zoe Saldana, Mila Kunis.Now I do enjoy teen movies like American Pie and films like that but this one clearly is one apple that fell way off the tree and hit every branch on the way down.Story wise is pretty much what you would expect in a Teen movie and what makes it sad is that the plot is not even worth paying attention What ruin the film is pretty much the characters are more or less complete idiots and I can't see how this film was even consider being made because clearly it was made to make a buck or two so.The comedy in the film is simply bad it try to be funny but clearly the film comedy is just rude, gross, and in the words of a famous character "This is bad comedy". The film does feature original songs which are not bad pretty much the only thing I can say that I like about this film but other than that Get Over It is just bad comedy.The film just falls right on it face and it wasn't even funny they try to use rude comedy and gross comedy but it pretty much ruin the film for me.I give Get Over It an 3 out of 10
Get Over It is a 2001 movie starring Ben Foster,Spiderman's Kristen Dunst,A Walk To Remember's Shane West and Avatar star Zoe Saldana and tells the tale of a young man named Berke(Foster)who's childhood sweetheart wants to call it quits. He of course is heartbroken over it and like what the title says he just has to get over it. But when he finds out that there is a school play going on he decides to audition for it as he found out that his former flame is now going out with a Backstreet Boy clone singer called Skitter(played by Shane West sporting a rather unusual British accent that sometimes sounds like an Aussie accent from time to time)whom Berke met earlier on in the film. But things get even more complicated for Berke when we asks his Best Friend's(Colin Hanks the son of Tom Hanks)sister Kelly(played by Kristen Dunst) and later sorta falls for her as she is helping Berke with his lines. But when his former flame later wants to get back together with him,who must he choose?Bottom line this movie is no masterpiece or the best film ever made,but there are some scenes that will have you laughing so hard like Kelly's dog humping a ball,or an accident prone who ruins a dinner date that she was in with Berke. Check it out and see what you can make out of it.Also keep an eye out for Sisqo(a former singer from the early 00s) as Ben Foster's other friend. 6 out of 10.
It is an all around solidly entertaining movie. I do like the clever intertwining of the play plot,"A Midsummer Night's Dream" with the movie about high school students doing the play. The songs in the movie really help to set up scenes through out the movie. The opening song really gets one into the mood of the entire movie. The climatic play towards the end of the movie is worth the wait. Kristin Dunst does a great job singing "her" love song in the play. Ben Foster is a gem in the movie and I will be looking for him in any future roles. I really liked how the love triangle played itself out during the play. I believe this movie was quite cleverly done and would whole heartily recommend it to anyone.
This is not a bad movie and is far better than the 5.5 stars it has been given. So why did I like 'Get Over It'? This is an easy film to like, but also easy to criticise. Yes, it is not the most original movie ever made, and predictable, but does that make it an unenjoyable movie?I was originally attracted to this movie because Kirsten Dunst is one of my favourite actresses. She has an air, a presence on screen. She has a quirky sense, and unique looks that are hard to find in recent Hollywood actresses, the closest I could think of is Julia Roberts.This movie tells the story of Berke, a normal kid at high school. He brakes up from his long term child hood sweetheart Alison, and decides that joining the school's production of a modern take of 'Midsummer Night's Dream' to win her back from the new boy at the school, boy band member (Bentley 'Striker' Scrumfeld). In the process he meets his best friend's little sister, Kelly (Dunst).This movie shows how teens go about looking for love, but ultimately miss it when it is right in front of them. It is honest, easy to watch fun. And it also bears strong similarities with Disney's recent smash hit High School Musical. I am sure someone watched this and thought, man that's a great story and so took it to Disney. It is unbelievable how similar they are. And chances are, if you liked High School Musical, your gonna love this. So this is a movie for Friday nights, days off work or school, or just a pick me up movie. I loved this movie, and hope you do too!
