As with most teen movies, Get Over It is entirely predictable, and there's not enough plot to sustain the length of the movie. However, it is not without its charms.

Movie Info
Ben Foster stars in this teenage comedy as Berke Landers, an average high schooler who has achieved high status by winning over Allison (Melissa Sagemiller), reputed to be the most popular and beautiful girl in his class. After an initially winning time, Allison finds herself drawn to the hot new guy in school, leaving Berke in the lurch. At the risk of ruining his unsteady reputation, Berke concocts a scheme for getting Allison back: he will join the school production of A Midsummer Night's

The kind of movie where only some of the characters have last names, this essentially sweet-natured enterprise feels slightly rushed and distracted.
Director O'Haver fails to supply any proper shape or development.
A sweet teen romance flick.
Top CriticShakespeare probably made the point best: Teens rule; parents drool.
Top CriticGet Over It is mostly an amateur hour fiasco.
Get Over It breaks the formula for teen romances.
Tired teen fare full of drinking, grossout humor.
Unevenly witty.
[Kirsten] Dunst seems to be a fairly decent actress; why she keeps appearing in the same movie over and over is beyond me.
This one's going down in my teen hall of fame.
O'Hayer has some way to go before doing a John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink) but Get Over It is a headstart.
While this film does not do anything extraordinary for its genre, it has its moments, and Dunst and Foster are able to generate reasonable chemistry in their utterly predictable situation.
There's something almost perverse about a show that only comes alive as the curtain rises and falls...
Sure, calling any flick "better than Van Wilder" is damning it with faint praise...but did I mention that this one's got Kirsten Dunst in it?

Very good movie! I really enjoyed it, it was very funny. Great Cast! Get over it is a cute no brainer that has some good one liners, funny musical numbers, and clever direction. Rent it the next time it rains and you miss the teen movies of the eighties.
Berke is devastated when his girlfriend Allison kicks him out. She takes up with cocky Striker, who claims fame as a singer, and the two of them audition for the school's "Midsummer Night's Dream" musical. Berke follows suit, much to the annoyance of his basketball team buddies Felix and Bentley. Our hero finds himself not only in the play but eventually as one of the leads, partly due to help from Felix's sister Kelly. As First Night approaches, questions need answering - Will Berke and Striker come to blows? Can Bentley take over as the lead dancer? Isn't Kelly nicer than Allison anyway?
