SnoopyStyle It's a parody of all the teen movies with some great insightful jokes. Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh) is a plain unpopular girl who is the subject of a bet by the popular guy Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) as a send up to 'She's All That'. It also parodies every other teen movies as well.I just can't figure who would like this movie as I do. Basically you have to watch every teen movie. How many people remember 'Lucas'? You have to watch them all, and willing to laugh at them. It seems like a small group of moviefiles who can understand all the jokes.The best and most insightful gag has to be the transformation of Janey. After that big hit, the movie rambles on a bit with the big game and the rest. The last half just flails around a bit. I just wish they had more gags to fill the prom with.
thesar-2 It's so passé to start with, "Well, I've seen worse" but, there you go.Actually, the (waaay late to the game, even in 2001) spoof off of John Hughes's 80s Classic Teen fare, Not Another Teen Movie did have me laughing at spots, despite its (mostly) predictable sight gags. And funny enough, the originally foreseen and eventual ongoing joke was my favorite: from the token black guy, Malik: "Damn…Shit…That is Whack!" had me rolling each time.I grew up on spoofs and they're probably my favorite of the comedy genre. But they're as rare as a GREAT horror movie. Handful at best. Airplane! Scary Movie (#1 only), The Naked Gun! Student Bodies and Top Secret come to mind…but that's about it. With Not Another Teen Movie, it was eh, but not terrible. At very least, they stayed on track with the specified target: teen romantic films, unlike most of the spoofs as of late that skip genres like the film classes the writers should've attended.It would be hard to write a straight away synopsis, since there are a dozen story lines floating around, but the basics involve the inevitable bet between the recently dumped jock (Chris Evans) and his buddies to woo the (yeah right) "nerdy" girl to Prom Queen status. On a side note, in one of the more hilarious moments, the John Hughes High School Marquee announces the arrival of Prom less than a week from when the school year starts.There were some definite laugh out loud moments, such as the Cruel Intentions sister homage or the Bring It debate and it's worth a viewing IF the aforementioned spoofs I listed aren't available for streaming.
g-bodyl This movie is the first parody made off comedy movies. This movie was released maybe a year after a classic parody, Scary Movie. The only thing is I couldn't tell which movies. I only saw the American Pie and Breakfast Club parodies. Even so, this movie wasn't as funny as I expected it to be. I did have a few laughs, but not a lot.This film is basically about a high school jock who made a bet to turn an ugly girl into a prom queen nominee.One character I was really annoyed with was that girl's brother. I wanted to punch him in the face because it looked so appealing to do so. He was really annoying.Overall, this is an okay spoof. The Scary Movie quadrilogy is much better though. I would see those first. I rate this film 6/10.
Floated2 I've watched this film on TV because one of my pals told me about it. I remember this a while ago but never got the chance to see. So I decided to watch it...and it was a huge waste of time. Not another teen movie is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. If you think that this is the "BEST MOVIE EVER', well I'm sorry but I think that you don't know how a good movie -or just a movie -is supposed to be I've heard so many people, preferably younger teens say this movie was "hilarious, outrageous, and the best movie ever" If I ask you supporters of the movie "Why does this movie is the BEST?" I don't think I'll get a satisfying answer . If you say jokes ;I've seen all of them before (didn't like back then either but that's another story) ,so why should I watch this movie or what makes this film that unique? The spoofs in this movie are just annoying and horrible. Also so many things are quite disgusting, disturbing and just plain unfunny.Some gross and disturbing scenes, were how the sister cheer-leading was trying to attract her own brother. That was plain wrong. There are so many scenes in the movie that whose sole purpose is to spend some time to expand the movie to at least 90 stupid. Its just about a bet that the main character (Chris Evans) does which is take a girl into his school and turn her into prom queen. Everything from there goes wrong. After a while the movie just felt like a script as if they were just free-styling. Honestly those movie is horrible and one of the worst films I have ever seen. Stay away from this piece of crap.==================================================================== ====================================================================As a rewatch (08/22/17') Not Another Teen Movie remains an unfunny comedy. Too much toilet humor and forced jokes for satire. We understand the jokes and the films they are spoofing but the jokes aren't funny and feel very forced. This film is more crude and sexual than remembered, and just as predictable. Not Another Teen Movie has not aged well, and overall is just not a good film, but of course there are people who have found and will find this type of humor amusing.
