Average Rating: 4/10

Consensus: NATM has some funny moments, but the movie requires the audience to have familiarity with the movies being spoofed and a tolerance for toilet and sexual humor to be truly effective.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for strong crude sexual content and humor, language and some drug content

Runtime: 1 hr 41 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release: Dec 14, 2001 Wide

Box Office: $37,882,551

In his feature film directorial debut, Joel Gallen spoofs the ever-popular teen genre. The students of John Hughes High School live the plot lines of numerous teen flicks, including SHE'S ALL THAT, AMERICAN PIE, TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, VARSITY BLUES, and SIXTEEN CANDLES, to name just a few. The most popular boy, Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) has bet his friends that he can make Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh)--the poor, smart girl from the wrong side of the tracks--prom queen. Meanwhile, her little brother is in pursuit of the most beautiful girl he's ever seen when he's not getting into trouble with his geeky friends. Of course, a teen movie wouldn't be complete without a mean-spirited cheerleading captain, a lovestruck best friend, and a foreign exchange student, all of whom have prominent roles in the film. Throw in a few guest appearances from familiar faces from some of the best-known teen movies of the 1980s, along with remakes of songs from the same films--and even some word-for-word dialogue--and you have an amusing walk down memory lane for anyone who has a soft spot for THE BREAKFAST CLUB, CRUEL INTENTIONS, and PRETTY IN PINK.

Filmmakers showed great affection for the material they parodied and this is always an important ingredient for any successful parody.

...any flick that features Molly Ringwald as a woman who hates teenagers is okay in my books.

Uses the unwelcome Scary Movie method of spoof comedy, in which timing is ignored and jokes are prolonged and beaten to the point where they're just obvious, not funny.

It is obvious that the creative forces did not take the film to seriously and if you do not, you just might find yourself laughing along.

...crude and unfunny, one of those movies that seem to be put together by cynical marketers who have reason to be convinced American moviegoers will laugh at — and celebrate — any movie that “dares” invoke scatological play and sexual titillation.

Plumbs new depths of offensiveness for its stomach-churning crudities.

For anyone for whom these films are a guilty pleasure, this pretty much delivers in terms of silliness and over-the-top laugh attempts.

Not Another Teen Movie is a little like watching Christina Aguilera make fun of Britney Spears.
