Eric Stevenson This was by no means terrible, but I was underwhelmed by it. I think the main flaw is that the crude jokes were really annoying. We didn't need to have all this stuff about guy's butts being shown and women accidentally losing their bras. That really did weigh it down. Also, some of these characters (especially the leader teacher) can be pretty annoying. With all that being said, it certainly had its good points. I'll give it credit for having a story about the actual play in the actual movie that's reenacting the actual play. That was pretty interesting.We even get this nice "September" dance number at the very end. Still, the bad definitely outweighed the good. I liked how I could recognize Kirsten Dunst. With me watching more and more movies all the time, I can recognize more actors and actresses. I even found the main character to be pretty likable. I guess it was too short. When you make a Shakespeare adaptation, it should probably be more epic. I guess it's mostly harmless. I realize that I'm not into teen movies at all. **
tbills2 This movie gets lost in the mix of good teen comedies made around the time because it didn't have a huge popularity and there's a total disconnect from attempting to appease the audience with a clear, presentable story or setting up the story with story points and story lines and whatnot and it's somewhat boring, BUUUUUUTTTTT the good thing is because of that previous sentence, Get Over It is a really nice flick to get lost in for some time with funny and absorbing characters without your standard introductions. The introduction scene of 'Love Will Keep Us Together' done by Vitamin C and some cool extras is classy. Ben Foster is really talented and acts easier then most, and he turns up the intensity so naturally better than most, BUUUUUTTTTTTTT, the shame is he takes it too far often and he acts strangely like he's on permanent intense mode like he's a super actor or something but he needs to tone down the nerves a little bit. I would not mention this sexy little bikini scene in Get Over It if not for the fact that Kirsten Dunst and Mila Kunis are incredibly hot together. I love Kirsten. Mila too. Sisqo too. Martin Short is funny. I'm sure he knows that. I love Martin Short. Colin Hanks is good. Swoosie Kurtz and Ed Begley Jr. are both nice to see. Get Over It has a nice easy vibe with good writing that makes it a favorite of many.
riocca 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.
cogs_25 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!
