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

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]

Reviews for Get Over It
It's uneven, to be sure, but the charm of its leads and the good nature of its story overcome a lot of the movie's weaknesses.
Underneath all the fuss, there's a half-baked plot that fails to make much of a connection.
The gimmicks knock the already-thin narrative structure slightly off track and the whole thing loses steam halfway through.
We end up feeling sorry for the two likable leads, Foster and Dunst, who have to endure all of the story's failed attempts at making recycled bathroom humor funny.
Moments of bubbly charm come in fits and starts, and the wait requires lots of patience.
Long on cartoonish high school hijinks but short on dramatic concentration and crucial story details.
A generally harmless trifle that's better than you might expect but not as good as you'd want.
Will make you feel like you're on spring break, whether you're in still school or not.
