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.

Top CriticA big, fat, juicy spitball lobbed, with mostly dead-on aim, at the teen-smarm clichés that have accumulated like so much earwax over the last three years.
12/20/01
Top CriticIt's stupid, it's obvious, it's scatological and violent -- but it made me laugh and I'm giving it thumbs up, God help me.
12/18/01
Top CriticMore often than not you'll be groaning from painful recognition rather than actually laughing.
12/14/01
Top CriticSave your time, save your money, save your soul. Stay at home.
12/14/01
Top CriticThe makers of Not Another Teen Movie should be embarrassed that, in parodying She's All That, they copied most of the plot and then made a movie that bogs down in the same places as the original.
12/14/01
Top CriticThis parody of teen comedies is just teen comedy by the numbers, for those who can only count to three.
12/14/01
Top CriticMany of the movie's targets are just too big and too obvious to elicit more than a smile of recognition, and the movie quickly degenerates into little more than a game of spot the (generally unfunny) reference for fans of the teen genre.
12/14/01
Top CriticThe jokes are overlong and lean heavily on the most obvious and most raunchy.
12/14/01
Top CriticA breath of fresh, frisky air, even if it does hinge on cliches.
12/14/01
Top CriticAlong with this venial sin of simple redundancy, the picture commits the less pardonable crime of commercial irrationality.
12/14/01
Top CriticCrass, misogynistic, homophobic and racist, it lacks finesse, originality and humor.
12/14/01
Top CriticA clever satire that's layered like a breakfast club sandwich with sly in-jokes, sight gags, gross-out scenes, and, of course, requisite bathroom humor.
12/14/01
Top CriticNot Another Teen Movie is a happy, nasty and frequently hilarious assault on 20 years' worth of youth pictures.
12/14/01
Top CriticTeen is nothing more than the timelessly crude throwaway project it wants to be.
12/14/01
Top CriticIt was not good to see yet still more wretched excess in the jokes about characters being sprayed with vast quantities of excrement.
12/14/01
Top CriticFor the most part NATM requires passing acquaintance with the source material.
12/13/01
Top CriticNot only is it consistently clever, but it has respect for many of the movies it lampoons.
