this is not a movie that is suitable for everyone.as I said in my summary,it is quite crude and offensive.but it is a real blast to watch.it is very absurd at times,but that make it even more fun to watch.it spoofs mainly eighties and nineties teen comedies.it skewers everybody.no movie is sacred or safe from its onslaught.i thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.it's not a masterpiece,nor does it pretend to be.i laughed hard and frequently and actually hurt myself as a result.if you are someone who gets offended easily,you'll want to sit this one out.otherwise,I would say to turn your brain off for about an hour and a half and enjoy it.for me,Not Another Teen Movie is a 9/10.

Typical high school teen comedy movie. The two main female characters are pretty nice although I am pretty much over Jaime Pressly. She acts more and more like a bitch when I see her in roles now. My Name is Earl is a great example of how her roles are now so hatefully bitchie. The "poor" teen girl that the high school quarterback says he will turn into a knockout is a little strange but nice looking. Randy Quaid plays her dad and seems to reprise his roles from the National Lampoon movies, still funny but done before. The prom at the hotel where all the studs have rooms is very stereotypical, but the whole movie is kind of that way. I did find it to pretty funny.

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.

The most popular boy, Jake Wyler has bet his friends that he can make Janey Briggs–the poor, smart girl from the wrong side of the tracks–prom queen. Meanwhile, her little brother is in pursuit of the most beautiful girl he's ever seen when he's not getting into trouble with his geeky friends. Of course, a teen movie wouldn't be complete without a mean-spirited cheerleading captain, a love struck best friend, and a foreign exchange student, all of whom have prominent roles in the film. Throw in a few guest appearances from familiar faces from some of the best-known teen movies of the 1980s, along with remakes of songs from the same films–and even some word-for-word dialogue–and you have an amusing walk down memory lane for anyone who has a soft spot for THE BREAKFAST CLUB, CRUEL INTENTIONS, and PRETTY IN PINK.From the age of parodies, Not Another Teen Movie was released when spoof movies were actually funny and this is one funny parody movie. The movie basically makes fun of teen movies including the story. The story was okay and it made you laugh and the characters were done very well to depict all the stereotypical characters you see in teen movies such as Cruel Intentions, Bring It On, The Breakfast Club and American Pie. The acting was great and the actors and actresses made the characters that little bit more funny. The laughs were definitely there but not in every scene. As you guessed, there would be some toilet humour but Not Another Teen Movie does a good job in handling it well. Overall, it doesn't belong in the pits of Hell with the Seltzer and Friedburg abominations.I personally like this movie. It has some very funny, laugh-out-loud scenes which people could recognise from their favourite teen movie, however there were a couple of scenes that weren't funny but you forget about that. I just watched it for what it was: A funny, silly comedy that shouldn't be taken seriously. You know by looking at the trailer it's not going to win any awards for anything and you know it's not going to get many positive reviews but from me, it does. This is for anyone who wants to put their brain aside and just relax for an hour and a half.Read more reviews at: www.dudedazzmoviereviews.wordpress.com
