At John Hughes High School, the students are the same as just about every other teenager in a teen movie. The popular jock, Jake (Chris Evans), takes a bet from Austin, the cocky blonde guy (Eric Christian Olsen), that he can transform Janey, the pretty ugly girl (Chyler Leigh), into the prom queen before the prom. But two people are trying to stop Jake from succeeding: his evil sister, Catherine, the cruelest girl in school (Mia Kirshner), and Priscilla, the bitchy cheerleader (Jaime Pressly). And all of their friends are the same as any other teen movie: Areola, the naked foreign exchange student (Cerina Vincent), Les, the beautiful weirdo (Riley Smith), Malik, the token black guy (Deon Richmond), the desperate virgins (Cody McMains, Samm Levine, and Sam Huntington), Amanda Becker, the perfect girl (Lacey Chabert), Ricky, Janey's obsessed best friend (Eric Jungmann), and Sadie, the VERY old undercover reporter (Beverly Polcyn).

brilliant humour.
posted on 24 Aug 2009I know it's so easy to judge this sort of film. A parody about teen movies..doesn't sound too good. But infact it's brilliant! I honestly love this movie. It makes me laugh like hell. The acting is great with its timing,lines and faces. The jokes.. oh man.. there's so brilliant jokes in this film... But the whole trick to this film is that you have to loosen up a bit...don't take it so seriously. If you appreciate the simpsons episodes from the golden years( the new ones are crap! sad but true.) like seasons 3-6, and posses a twisted sense of humour like Conan O'Brien then you'll love the jokes in this one! I GUARANTEE!
Four good things
posted on 10 Aug 2009about this movie. First, the opening scene is genuinely funny. Second, it's a lot of fun trying to figure out what movie each scene is parodying. Third, the cameos from actors who have appeared in other teen movies. Lastly, the nudity. There's not nearly enough nudity in the movies anymore.As for the rest of it, it's uneven at best. Most of the jokes are unfunny or just plain gross.
What the hell was this?
posted on 06 Aug 2009There has been only a few movies that I've actually found myself so bored watching. I only went because I got roped into going just because someone else wanted to see it. I tried to watch this movie, but after about a half hour or so it was just becoming dumber and dumber, and I spent the rest of the movie day dreaming (about any other thing in the world I would rather be doing.) This movie was so boring, I would rather listen to a 24 hr non stop lecture on the importance of algebra or watch those god awful public broadcasting channels than ever see this movie ever again. On the plus side the girls in the movie were good looking, but that's the only good quality this movie has to offer. A tip for watching this is to be as wasted as you can be, that is if it does not kill a perfectly good buzz on the stupid plot. Good luck to anyone who's brave enough to sit through this.
More Jamie Briggs than teen movie spoofs
posted on 04 Aug 2009Most of the movie was about Jamie Briggs and Jake Wyler's relationship while along the way they in twine teen movie spoofs into the story such as Jake Wyler's was in twined in "Varsity Blues","Cruel Intentions" and his ex-girlfriend(pricilla) was in twined in "Bring it on"(being that one of the stars from the movie played Mitch Briggs)"American Beauty" and Jamie briggs in twined in "Shes All That"(being her favorite movie)and so forth.I THINK THE FUNNIEST PARTS WERE THE SPOOF ON "BRING IT ON"AND SANDY SUES TOURETTES.
Oh, no, not another teen movie! *pause* oh, this is actually funny? Coolness!
posted on 04 Aug 2009Not Another Teen Movie, like Scary Movie, this is a parody of what the 1990's had to offer us, the romantic teen comedies! How many of them do we loathe? But how many were also great? Not Another Teen Movie makes fun of movies from the 80's to the 90's and is very clever. I saw this movie with a friend and honestly, while there are a few parts that were a little too much for me, I don't exactly dig potty humor, but there are some really funny scenes. It was fun to see someone finally make fun of the all the clichés that were rubbed in our faces: the nerdy girl turning into the hot girl, clichéd characters that would never be friends but somehow are, the best friend in love with the other friend who's in love with the popular kid, you get the drill.In the stereotypical high school community of John Hughes High sexy Priscilla, a popular cheerleader, separates from her boyfriend, Jake Wyler. After Jake discovers that Priscilla is now dating strange and socially inept Les just to spite him, one of Jake's friends, Austin, suggests seeking retribution by making Janey Briggs, a "uniquely rebellious girl", the prom queen. Jake attempts to court Janey's love, but faces adversity from his own sister Catherine, who is sexually attracted to him, Janey's unnoticed admirer and best friend Ricky, and memories from his past football career. Catherine eventually helps her brother by slightly altering Janey's appearance, ultimately making her more attractive to the other characters. Meanwhile, Janey's little brother, Mitch, and his friends, Ox and Bruce, make a pact to lose their virginity by Graduation even though they are still in their Freshmen year. Making fun of movies like: She's All That, Cruel Intentions, American Pie, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Drive Me Crazy, American Beauty, and Pretty in Pink , Not Another Teen Movie leaves no film left alone to show us the utter cliché that came with every teen movie out of the 90's.Like I said, there are some moments that are a little much, this is a pretty raunchy comedy, but I think it's just making fun of the in your face movies with the sick humor as well. I mean there's potty humor and hard core nudity, but I digress. There are some really funny moments in this movie, wither it was the random song the cast breaks into about their excitement for the prom or the whole introduction of the clichéd characters. The cast looked like they had a blast making this movie and I had a lot of fun watching it as well. I would recommend it for those who love satire and parodies, I did warn you though about the raunchiness, so if you have a weak stomach, you may wanna fast forward through a few parts.7/10
Dumb Dumb movie but still funny
posted on 23 Jul 2009Not Another Teen Movie is one of the dumbest movies I've seen in recent history. The plot is nonexistent , very tacky and the actors seem bored in their roles. But the movie is so dumb it's funny, the writers do anything for a laugh and the cast seems to go along with it. Chris Evans comes off like a dumb Chris Klein in the lead role as Jake but the hottie Chyler Leigh as Janey saves this film. She shows good acting chops in this hard to save flick. Cerina Vincent also saves the flick as a naked foregin exchange student as does Mira Kirshiner & Jamie Pressely, although I wish Jamie would have gotten naked. Check this one out with friends though.
Not another bad one!
posted on 23 Jul 2009I have to admit I saw this while calming down from a rather angry mood - and found myself laughing. Sure it the movie had some weird moments but overall, I liked it. In about 90 minutes or so, I went from rather peeved to quite happy. Even today I found myself laughing over the first scene where Janie experiments with a colorful dildo but but never mind. I like what happened when the police nabbed her, pinned her down, and 'put her out'. No, nothing sexual and still it worked. It's the funniest film I've seen this year, and I esp liked the whoever played Janie and Katherine, played by the wonderful Mia Kirshner. If you don't like this film, fine. If you did, so did I. Happy stuff!
Certainly not a bad film
posted on 21 Jul 2009The IMDb ranking for this film is quite harsh in my opinion. OK, this film was never going to win an Oscar, but it's enjoyable throughout and has some very good laughs in it. I'm not a big fan of teen movies but I saw this and was impressed. It's light-hearted and not afraid to appear ridiculous (infact most of the time it does this deliberately) and it doesn't pretend to be "Just another teen movie", indeed it IS "Not another teen movie", it's a very enjoyable laugh at the expense of those films.Don't expect your life to be changed by this film, but if you want simply a fun film to watch then you won't go far wrong seeing this one.
Yet Another Teen Movie... pretending to be better. lol
posted on 19 Jul 2009Hmm, how do I make more money? Wait! I know! Let's make a parody of every single genre out there! That would do it for sure! Oh YAY. Ok, so Scary Movie had it's ups, and perhaps this did too. It was funnier then American Pie, but that's not saying much. My biggest complaint is that it is too obvious and in your face. The toilet scene, the painting, the coach. Another irritating aspect was that the plots were copied a bit too obviously. Mainly the plots from Breakfast Club, Cruel Intentions, and She's All That. They practically took chunks of the movie and set them into this one, that made it a bit boring. Honestly, I enjoyed the little things the most, the beginning with the separation of the cliques, the `walk' of the three popular girls like in Jawbreaker, the `slow' entrance scenes and the clapping. The toilet scene was ABSOLUTELY unnecessary. To me humor just isn't as funny when it is trying to be as obvious as it possibly can, so even a total moron who only saw the trailers to all the teen movies would still understand it. If you're out there for an unsophisticated lode of laughs, take a peace of this cake, but be wear of the tooth ache from all the unnecessary sugar. Anyway, if you want a good old parody watch Monty Python, if you want a pie in your face parody watch this. It is also interesting to mention something that just occurred to me. Most Parodies are parodies of parodies, for the typical teen movie is a parody in itself. Now all that's left is making a parody of the parody of the parody
A Fun Film
posted on 20 May 2009This film, Not Another Teen Movie, is an excellent piece of work if one views it as very light hearted. There are plenty of references to other recent films whose cast is primarily teen or or early twenties. It also has a few surprises, such as the foreign exchange student who goes around school totally naked.
I LOVE Eric Jungman!
posted on 14 May 2009I went to Middle School with Eric Jungman, in San Antonio, Texas, and my sister and I used to go to all of the school plays that he was in. He was always so funny! It's so great to see him now, on the big screen, doing his thing! My sister and I went and saw NATM the day it came out and were so happy to see that he finally had a lead in a mainstream movie! He is one funny guy! I recommend this movie to anyone who needs a good laugh. I know people keep saying that the jokes and spoofs were all horrible, but I think that those were the people who just plain didn't get it the first time. I mean, have they even seen Breakfast at Tiffany's and Pretty in Pink??? C'mon people! This is funny stuff! And, the whole great spoof on Bring it on!?! They were asking for it by filming that movie!
Quite funny!!
posted on 26 Apr 2009This was pretty funny. It isn't as good as Scary Movie but it sure beats the sequel and some of the other similar spoofs. This doesn't have many outright belly laughs but it does have a lot less jokes that fall flat than Scary Movie.Its by no means great but there is enough to enjoy, and whats more it has MR FRICKIN T, yes Mr T. That alone is a bonus mark, and he's funny too. Overall this gets 6/10
ick!
posted on 22 Apr 2009That's about all that can be said about this god-awful movie. There's nothing unique about it at all - just bit after bit rehashed from other teen movies, and they aren't even done humorously. It'd be nice to say the best part about seeing the movie was getting into the theater for free. Unfortunately, not paying for the movie still couldn't justify the time wasted watching it.
Where I believe this movie went wrong....
posted on 16 Apr 2009I grew up with the John Hughes movies, and have seen all the movies being parodied here, including 10 Things I Hate About You, American Pie, along with the Scary Movies. I'm one of the "older" teen movie fans, and I recognize a need to parody these things. John Hughes in particular could use a good roasting. This movie did not do it. If the filmakers needed some guidance, they could have done worse than read the Mad magazine versions they were trying to make fun of. They could have hired some of the writers of the Mad TV show as far as that goes. It wouldn't hurt the film makers of this catastrophe to read a few issues. They could also benefit from viewing Airplane, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Vacation.I'm sure this looked good on paper, and the previews had promise. There was one major problem. It's not funny. Comedy depends on the element of surprise, and anyone could have seen every "funny" bit coming a mile away. A parody, in theory, should make a least a point or two that wasn't already obvious. It's true that the original films (talking about the Hughes films mainly here,) are really a self parody of themselves, particularily the costumes in Pretty In Pink, but you could say the same things about the "Airport" films parodied in Airplane, many of the westerns parodied in Blazing Saddles, soap operas and the more recent "Nurse Betty." All those films are not just funny, they make a point as well.Humor is a relative thing, I believe. I think many teens are amused by garbage like "Not Another Teen Movie," because they have not yet had a chance to see as many films as the "oldsters" like me. Perhaps ignorance is bliss, since it certainly takes a little more class and creativity to amuse my generation, but I don't think it's because we have no sense of humor. Check out the early Steve Martin films and some of the others I mentioned here, and I think you may agree we as movie goers who shell out $7 -$8 bucks a pop to see them at the local cineplex deserve better. I don't like even spending $3 to rent a dvd this bad. You know what might work? How about a Mystery Science Theater version of Pretty In Pink? I'd pay to see that, now, without hesitation.
Its about time
posted on 04 Apr 2009It is about time some one made a movie like this. This movie was funny as hell. It spoofed a lot of good teen movies and showed just how stupid teen movies really are. Me and my friends can talk about this movie for hours because its that funny. This movie is better then the scary movie series. Must see. Finally I must say, "Mitch cut it out, stop" (That's for you Prince).Rating: Eight Thumbs Up
some how I found this funny
posted on 19 Mar 2009Most of the jokes in this work. And I know some of them I didn't even get because I think some of the parodies came from films from the 80's that I have never seen. But, a lot of the "skits" come from very recent movies. You definitely need to have seen all the recent teen films to find this movie really funny. And I love how they make Janey the popular/pretty girl simply by removing her glasses and letting her hair down. I mean, one of the problems I had with She's All That was that Rachel Leigh Cook is already hot; she's already prom queen material. So, the play on that movie was very funny.If I had to pick a favorite "skit", I'd have to say the whole Ferris Beuller part was histerical.FINAL VERDICT: Funny and crude. If you have seen all the recent teen movies, then you will like it a lot more if you hadn't seen them. I recommend seeing this.
This movie...is worse than Cats
posted on 15 Mar 2009This movie is horrible. I knew from the first ten seconds of the movie when the character that was supposed to be Lanie in She's All That pulled out a vibrator in bed that this movie was NOT worth see OR paying $4 for. After enduring the whole thing, I concur that I was absolutely correct.
The horror…the horror
posted on 01 Mar 2009NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE – 1.5 starsFor those of you that liked `Scary Movie' that waste your breath on this piece of garbage. It should have been called `not another bad spoof.' I don't know how it's possible to make a film worse than the genre that you're trying to mock. But they've succeeded marvelously. What's worse than that is that it took SIX writers to come with material that anyone with half a brain and a bag of weed could written in ten minutes.The basic `storyline' follows the plot of `She's All That' which was a pathetic update in and of itself of `My Fair Lady' But that's whole other review. A popular good-looking guy takes a wager on making an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. Not Another's main targets were films such as The Breakfast Club and American Pie. Other such teen fare like `10 Things I Hate About You', `Varsity Blues' and Bring It On were thrown in for bad measure. In it's defense there were a FEW gems in the movie. The `token' black guy whose role is blatantly played for laughs was done perfectly. And foreign exchange student who walks around the whole movie (or should I say all 3 scenes) completely naked. There were others but they're fed to us so stingily that it feels like Chinese water torture by the time you hear them. Some of the cast themselves were dead-on look-alikes for their teen idol counterparts. With the acting ability to match. The concept indeed had merit, but in the clumsy hands of the director you can never squeeze more than a chuckle out of ANY scene. Even for a teen movie the acting is terrible, and the material was impotent. The writers attempt to bludgeon the audience with bad taste and profanity. Apparently to compensate for their complete and total lack of originality and wit. Finally Molly Ringwald was brought in for the coup-de-grace but little did they realize that their target audience is too young to even know who the hell Molly Ringwald is. This film should end up in Hollywood's detention hall. Forever.
A very poor movie indeed
posted on 15 Feb 2009The film is supposed to make fun of lame teenage comedies like She's All That, American Pie, even back to The Breakfast Club (although I kind of like that one). Why? Those are comedies in the first place. If a comedy is unfunny, then what are the chances that its spoof will be funny? There are maybe one or two small laughs in the proceedings. The opening scene, where the main character is caught playing with herself by first her father, then her brother, then her grandparents, and then her priest is pretty amusing, if foul. That's probably the least disgusting joke of the whole film! The younger boys are pretty funny. Cody McMains, who plays the main character's little brother Mitch, looks like he might be Judd Nelson's son, especially in the homage to The Breakfast Club. The `token black guy' is pretty funny. When the characters all go to a party, he has to approach another black guy who has showed up first. `Excuse me, I am the black guy in this movie.' `Oh, sorry,' the other black guy replies, `my mistake.' Mr. T and Molly Ringwald appear in truly uninspired cameos (do teenagers even know who they are?). Melissa Joan Hart, the star of She's All That, appears, probably to inspire nostalgia from the uber-young audience. I'm just normal young, and I'll always think of her as Clarissa. 2/10.
Where is the line?
posted on 28 Aug 2009Some people might have different ideas of where the line is, but I personally believe that where ever that line is, this movie crossed it. While parts of do have an element of entertaining value, much of the movie spends most of the time trying too hard, and is over the top and just plain stupid or sick. Not worth it.
