NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE

Recommended Posts

I haven't but was told it was quite funny. I'm skeptical because most comedies nowadays do in fact suck.

I thought it was funny the whole way through. Cheesey at times, but generally enjoyable.

 

The cheerleader take-off of Bring It On is hilarious. I'll leave it at that.

It would have been better had they not tried to integrate an actual story into the movie. It was pretty decent when it moved to spoofs/homages, died when it tried to focus on the story.

 

Jamie Pressley does pretty good evil/disgusted facial expressions, though.

I thought it would be terrible but there were odd bits that made me laugh like the 'She's All That' parody of the dowdy/beautiful girl transformation. The 'saliva' scene was a prime example of trying too hard for a big Farrely Bros style gross out moment though IMO. For every good line or amusing scene there's another 2-3 that fall completely flat but thats par for the course with this type of film. Rent it if the only other choices are the Scary Movie films as it does the same thing slightly better.

Yeah, the simple stuff like the paint-covered overalls bit, the painting stickfigures, the slowclap guy, the getting-packed-to-go-2-houses-down, was what really made that movie. Plus, the

The funniest line in the movie, I thought, was in the song about the prom. It was after the teen said true love he wanted the most. Then, the waiter handed him his food and sang

 

"I just jerked off in your french toast!" :lol: :lol:

the cameo from the Principal from Breakfast CLub was the best....But I was hoping for a Judd Nelson cameo as well. Would've ruled if after he went off on the three he went "I've got you for the rest of your natural born lives...if you don't believe me, just ask him." and have the camera pan onto Judd just sitting there, that woud've so pwned.

Oh, that would've definetly ruled! ^_^

 

But, yeah, I thought the movie was pretty funny. The cliches they made fun of, the cheerleading try-outs, the characters...gold. Personally, my faves were the Wannabe and the Obsessed Best Friend...they were great.

 

By the way, for those that have the DVD, how many took the quiz? And, if ya did, what was your score?

It was a lot funnier than I expected. There's hints of brilliance in some parts, and in others it's just really bad.

I second the brillance part.

 

This movie has spoofed the most movies I have seen.

One of the best "spoof" movies I've seen. Definitely better than the "Scary Movie" franchise. Two of my favorite parts:

 

The football player who always got hit in the head.

 

The "loser best friend" who gets shitted on because he's not the main love interest.

 

Random person on the street: Give it up, pal.

Best part about that is the actor playing that guy was spoofing the charecter he played in Varsity Blues, heh. There was an interview in the special features on the DVD where he says something like "If anyone's gonna make fun of me it'll be me." heh

The "football tackle" had me on the floor the first time I saw it - just needless... totally, utterly, beautifully, needless.

 

And the dude with the bag, that was fucking priceless.

 

Also, the blonde guy who makes the bet... hilarious. Great over-the-top acting and facial expressions...

Football tackle? When did that happen...?

If I'm not mistaken, I think RRR is referring to

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

the scene where the football team tackled the old lady who was spoofing 'Never Been Kissed'. It was in the trailer, but I think it's in the deleted scenes.

 

And the dude with the bag, that was fucking priceless.

Yeah, he was awesome. Not many lines in the movie, but nonetheless awesome. Was the 'Beautiful Weirdo' played by the same actor who played the character in 'American Beauty'?

 

Also, the blonde guy who makes the bet... hilarious. Great over-the-top acting and facial expressions...

In this fangirl's opinion, all three of those dudes were hot :wub:
