Rating: Summary: Worst movie ever... Review: I don't want to give this movie one star. I want to give it nothing. Never in my life has a movie disgusted, bored, and insulted me like "Not Another Teen Movie" has... and I'm a teen! I see positive reviews for this movie and I'm shocked. People liked this movie? Enough to give it 5 stars? Have they seen other movies? Do they know what the word "movie" is? I'm asking because "Not Another Teen Movie" requires an intelligence so low, a brain so devoid of anything, and it still is not that great. Today's parodies are nothing like those of "Airplane!" times. These days, they must have a lot of gross sex jokes, absolutely no direction, and, according to this movie, excrement spraying at people in large amounts. I mean, movies like "American Pie" are great because they explore sex in a surprisingly innocent way. The sexual situations in those movies are gross, yes, but lighthearted and with the best intentions. NATM just wants to be dirty, offensive, and without a point. Parodies are supposed to bring to the audience's attention the way movies are ludicrous. They poke fun at scenes from movies, or tidbits of pop culture. NATM, in its quest to ultimately disgust and repulse the viewer, takes these familiar things, repeats them, then turns them into the nastiest joke it possibly can. This really is not another teen movie. It's a vile imitation with a huge lack of timing and the cruelest of intentions. To like this movie requires psychopathic tendencies. It's sexist, racist, crude, raunchy, and profane. Some of the best Farrelly brothers movies are like that. The only difference is that they're funny. NATM is not. At all.
Rating: Summary: Don't eat the French Toast... Trust me... Review: In spite of a tendency to taper off towards the end, this is a very well crafted movie and one that is so rich in teen movie back references that you could watch it a dozen times and still get something new from it on each pass.This is an immensely talented young cast, bolstered by major talents such as Randy Quaid, as the alcoholic Nam Vet Dad, Ed Lauter as the Coach ... and a stunning-as-always Jaime Pressly as the Head Cheerleader. Wolf Lake's Mia Kirshner almost steals the show as The Popular Jock Jake Wyler's vampish sister, who spends most of the movie trying to seduce him, Cruel Intentions-style. While there are many nineties onwards teen movie references, this is a feast for John Hughes fans. This Hughes Homage also includes a few classic cameos, from Paul Gleason (the Teacher From Hell in The Breakfast Club), Lyman Ward (Ferris Bueller's Dad) and Molly Ringwald as a Flight Attendant in the airport. No, this ain't Out Of Africa, but even the deliberately vulgar humor actually manages to be funny, and on a Laughs Per Minute basis, this BabeFest is easily one of the most hilarious movies I have ever seen. A classic. I just hope they make a sequel.
Rating: Summary: Are you the target audience? Review: Before you let all those negative reviews keep you from watching this movie, ask yourself, "am I the target audience for this movie?" If you answered yes, you'll love it. As you probably guessed, this movie is a parody of all the teen movies that were released in the late 90's, early 00's. So, if you've seen most of the teen movies such as "Can't Hardly Wait," "She's All That," "Cruel Intentions," and even such 80's hits as "The Breakfast Club," you'll find this movie hilarious. If you haven't, avoid this movie until you have! You won't get the jokes, and you'll hate the movie. It's that simple. Watch the teen movies. Watch this movie. Love this movie. The end.
Rating: Summary: A must-have for 80's movies buffs out there Review: "Not Another Teen Movie" is a hilarious film. The only problem is, you'll never get it unless you have seen these 80s flicks: Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, and Lucas. They also spoof 90's movies and other recent teen films like: She's all That, Cruel Intentions, American Beauty, Bring it On, Varsity Blues, Never Been Kissed, American Pie, Can't Hardly Wait, and Ten things I Hate about You. It pokes fun of the common stereotypical characters that you know and love from all those teen movies: The Jock, The Pretty Nerd, The horny geek virgin, The Hot foreign student and the Token Black Guy; just to name a few. "Not Another..." also parodies all of those 80s idiosyncrasies like: The Slow Clap, the dance sequence at the prom ("You'd never suspect that EVERYONE at this prom is a professional dancer"), and the Slow Motion entrance (which was always reserved for a hot chick entering the room). The movie's plot mostly centers on "She's all That": A jock gets dumped by his elitist girlfriend and in turn, he and his friends make a bet to transform the nerdiest girl into the next prom queen. There are also excellent cameo appearances made by Molly Ringwald, ultimate 80s icon Mr. T and Paul Gleason (he played Richard Vernon, the principal from the Breakfast Club).
Rating: Summary: Great Movie! Review: Most of the jokes in this movie hit, at least to me, and I am a member of its target audience. I think the parodies are dead on, and the music, both the brief stint it pulls as a musical and the appearence of Good Charlotte at the prom, are terrific.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely terrible Review: This movie was absolutely horrible. It was rude,crude,obnoxious and very offensive. It was actually insulting to the movies it parodied. The only reason I gave it one star is because that was the lowest rating I could give it.
Rating: Summary: Mindless fun Review: Like horror and spy movies, teen movies is another exploited genre that's ripe for parody. Despite its title, NATM is an amalgam of countless 80s and 90s teen flicks, from The Breakfast Club to Bring It On. All the stereotypes are there, from the bimbo cheerleader to the horny adolescent peeping tom, and of course there has to be that indispensable element of any teen movie: the Senior Prom. The gags are relentless, from start to finish. Some are disgusting, like the exploding toilet episode, some are distasteful, like the Siamese twins and the girl with Tourette Syndrome (a la Deuce Bigelow), and almost all are pretty stupid. One of the running gags involves a hard-bodied foreign exchange student who parades around in her birthday suit. If you can willingly suspend disbelief at this shameless exploitation and creative bankrupcy, then this movie is for you. That said, I found myself chuckling or even laughing out loud several times. The plot loosely resolves around a rich, popular jock's attempt to turn a nerdy, unsociable ugly duckling into prom queen material, but plot is the last thing that matters in a movie such as this. There are plenty of bare bosoms and bottoms throughout to go with the coarse language, earning the movie an R-rating, which means that technically speaking most teens wouldn't be able to see it. Furthermore, not many teens nowadays would recognize references to movies made in the 80s. Nevertheless, it could be entertaining for those who do actually remember those John Hughes classics, provided you leave your finer sensibilities at the door. I'm hoping noone will come up with an idea for a parody of parody movies!
Rating: Summary: Funny Movie Review: I think this is a great movie! You really need to see all the other movies such as Sixteen Candles, Bring It On, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I don't want to spoil the ending, but, you NEED to see who stops by at the end. Hint - In the beginning scene, notice the "Pretty In Pink" poster in Janey's bedroom. Hint - On the DVD version, go to special features, commentaries, and press Teen Movie Factoids. Then go back to the main page and play the movie. Now, in blue, you will see little facts about the movie. For example, it might say what movie they are spoofing!
Rating: Summary: Come On! Review: Come on seriously. Its like its a movie begging to be bad. It is even worse, if possible, than Scary Movie, which was at least semi-funny. I mean I guess I can see why you might watch it, if you've seen all the movies that it spoofs (which is a lot, although the plot basically follows She's All That), but its really just disgusting. To be honest, if you like this kind of of thing, you might enjoy this but its just palin stupidity if you actually want to see something good. (Oh yeah, one thing I like was that this movie features Good Charlotte, which was kinda cool).
Rating: Summary: I laughed so hard......... Review: This movie is really funny!! I never stopped laughing at all. There was barely a moment where a scene fell flat!! I was really funny! Watch it now!!!!!!!!
