Not Another Teen Movie

In his feature film directorial debut, Joel Gallen spoofs the ever-popular teen genre. The students of John Hughes High School live the plot lines of numerous teen flicks, including SHE'S ALL THAT, AMERICAN PIE, TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, VARSITY BLUES, and SIXTEEN CANDLES, to name just a few. The most popular boy, Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) has bet his friends that he can make Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh)--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 lovestruck 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.

    Competing strongly for the title of the year's most puerile and vulgar film, Not Another Teen Movie makes a bottom-of-the-barrel rehash such as Scary Movie 2 look like an Oscar-worthy masterpiece. A lame combination of She's All That and Pretty in Pink, in which a popular teen makes a bet he can get the plainest girl to attend the prom with him, this pathetic excuse for humour reinforces every possible negative social stereotype. However, it's not just the usual tedious targets of overweight kids and bespectacled girls that we're encouraged to mock. Outdoing even the Farrelly brothers' gross-out antics, former MTV producer and first-time director Joel Gallen throws incest, aneurysms and an avalanche of human waste into the tasteless equation. Of course, as the title suggests, this is all supposed to be very clever and ironic. In truth, there's nothing of intelligence here, only a flaccid mess that should never have been made.

    • Radio Times
  • A movie with more writers than jokes, and those few involve flatulence and other bodily functions, so that it is indistinguishable from any other teen movie.

    Good, but not great

    I thought this film was pretty funny and original, but after a time the constant theme of ridiculing previous teen movies become a bit monotonous. However, I would certainly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it before.
