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.

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.

Laugh out loud!
This film is the funniest thing me and my boyfriend have seen in a long time. As long as you are over 20 and under 50 and have a sense of humour, it should appeal to you.
The references to the 80's films were very clever, they've managed to capture the mood of the 80's and mix it excellently with the slapstick humour of 'Air Plane'. -

A typical parody comedy with plenty of sick humour but more intelligent than most. There seems to be a love of the films it's mocking, it shows in the details ... bit's of films I'd forgotten until seeing them mocked here, including the almost direct lifting of a scene from the Breakfast Club. Also good to see that the ridiculous "She's All That" gets most of the mockery ... let's be honest, it derserves it. Cracking soundtrack as well.

Totally Gross! Best enjoyed over a lot of beer and pizza! The best part for me was trying to spot which teen movies were spoofs of which part of the film. The main ones being, american beauty, ten things I hate about you, ferris bueller, road trip and american pie. There were a couple of references to grease and pretty in pink too, although I dont think todays teenagers would remember who Molly Ringwald is!

Boobs. Lots of boobs. This is one of those films about which people will say 'it misses as much as it hits'. A lot of the jokes are awful and are really no better than the films which they intend to parody. However, some of the less obvious gags are quite good (look out for the Anthony Michael Dining Hall) and the gross out moments will gross you out, particularly the lesbian kiss with an age difference. You have been warned.

Crock a sh...
Having read the reviews on this site, I was hoping for a half decent film that made me laugh at least as much as the films it was making a parody of.
No such luck. This is one of the worst and unfunny films I have seen in a long time. The only worse film would be 'Slap Her, She's French' which is, in my opinion, THE worst film ever made.
The only thing that kept me going was the very attractive actress who played 'Janie'. This film is crude, unfunny and pointless. -

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.

Not Another Teen Movie recreates scenes with an even funnier twist from our fav teen films like American Pie 1 and 2, Road Trip etc. It is a film which is really easy to get into especially if you have seen American Pie and Road Trip, worth renting!
