Reviews Counted:63

Fresh:28

Rotten:35

Average Rating:5/10

Consensus: 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.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for some crude/sexual humor, teen drinking and language

Runtime: 86 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Mar 9, 2001 Wide

Box Office: $11,294,663

Ben Foster (FREAKS AND... Director Tommy O'Haver's (BILLY'S HOLLYWOOD SCREEN KISS) sophomore effort is a breezy teen romance that injects a much needed jolt of wit and energy into an overworked genre. Ben Foster (FREAKS AND GEEKS) stars as Berke, a fairly nondescript basketball player whose romance with the beautiful Allison (Melissa Sagemiller) has made him the happiest man in school as well as the envy of his classmates. Unfortunately, Allison doesn't feel the same way and dumps him in the opening minutes of the film. Determined to win her back, Berke auditions for the high school play, "A Midsummer Night's Rockin' Dream," in which Allison has snagged the lead role. Thwarting his hopes of reconciliation is the guy that Allison just started dating, Striker, a transfer student who heads a semi-famous boy band and sports a laughable European accent. Enlisting the help of his best friend's sister, Kelly (Kirsten Dunst), Berke tries to rehearse for the play and finds his emotions caught between his past with Allison and his burgeoning feelings for Kelly. Sweet and funny (especially during Martin Short's appearances as the play's name-dropping director), GET OVER IT is an excellent teen film bolstered by an exceptional cast. [More]

  • Get Over It!
  • Kirsten Dunst (BRING IT ON), Sisqo, and Ben Foster (TV's FREAKS AND GEEKS) shine in this hilariously hip comedy! After Berke (Foster) gets dumped by Allison, the hottest girl in school, he'll do anything to get her back! Against the advice of his buddies Dennis (Sisqo) and Felix (Colin Hanks -- THAT THING YOU DO!), Berke desperately follows Allison into the high school play! But when he's inept onstage, Berke gets bailed out by his friend's little sister (Dunst) ... who just might be the one to help him get over Allison! Also featuring Martin Short (FATHER OF THE BRIDE) and Shane West (DRACULA 2000) -- nothing goes as planned in this entertaining treat!

    Quite a bit more intelligent than most films in the genre.

    Features a dog humping a basketball, an electrocution, a cow urinating on the hero and kids drinking punch filled with vomit.

    It's the sort of show Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney would have bounced through 60 years ago.

    At least Ben Foster communicates the ignorance and insecurity of being a troubled teen.

    It's completely harmless -- taking that as a pro or a con will be entirely up to the individual viewer.

    The movie is short, watchable, and altogether serviceable. But that's not enough.

    Fails to impart a convincing ambiance to this particular high school, which comes off more like some lamely inhabited TV-sitcom set.

    The first half is the usual brain-dead high school romantic comedy. It is pretty bad. The second half ... is pretty good.

    ... needed – but didn’t get – a good script doctor to rip out the stuff that doesn’t work while keeping the good material.

    It's incredibly insipid, but it isn't offensive or wretched to sit through.

    It's predictable but charming and just the thing to take some of the sting out of this season of box-office discontent.

    Here's a fundamental rule of filmmaking: if you need to rely on a dog humping everything in sight to get laughs, you are not making a good movie.

    All its brief flickers of originality never add up to much and it never captures the spirit O'Haver obviously had in mind.
