Better Late Then Never

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Not Another Teen Movie (2001): Dir: Joel Gallen / Cast: Chyler Leigh, Chris Evans, Jamie Pressly, Mia Kirshner, Randy Quaid: As Scary Movie satired horror film clichés, here is an attack on teen film conventions and the results are every bit as vulgar but less promising. Title seems to voice the frustration of those who sat through Boys and Girls and She's All That. It exploits teen stereotypes such as the popular jock who accepts a bet to make the uncool girl into prom Queen. Well directed by Joel Gallen who obviously knows the clichés but the characters are seen as types with no personalities. Chyler Leigh completely embodies the image of Rachel Leigh Cook from She's all That but she is not given a role that rises above the appearance and cliché. Other characters include the obsessed best friend, foreign exchange student, and the token black guy. Chris Evans plays the popular jock out to win a bet. Jamie Pressly plays a snobby cheerleader who will be opposed by another team in a reference to Bring It On. Mia Kirshner is featured as a jab at Cruel Intentions when her role requires her to want sex with her brother. Randy Quaid plays the bat crazy father to the Leigh character. He is supportive yet mentally whacked. Predictable and vulgar but well aimed on its target. Too bad that the screenwriter couldn't go beyond another teen movie and create something that was actually funny. Score: 5 / 10

This movie kills me. It always has. The jokes are really funny and well timed. It doesn't go too over-the-top, and it gets better every time I watch it. This movie has a lot of the little things that go a long way to make it great. The performances are spot-on. The dialogue is snappy and clever. The pace is fast and the references spot-on.The girls in this movie are also wicked hot. The sister is out of control hot. Just blazing.If you review this movie and say that it's garbage, then you probably eat apples and complain that they don't taste like oranges.

What I don't quite understand is why this movie has such a low IMDb rating. This is one of the top 10 funniest spoofs ever made. In about the last 10 years no movie has been able to touch the brilliance of Not Another Teen Movie. In the last 10 years, most of these so called 'spoofs'(if you want to even call them that)go off of a popular movie, and then they make jokes about that movie, but not about the popular movie itself, the jokes are made to what is hot and hip and in the now in our modern day culture. For example, Epic Movie plays out The Chronicles of Narnia aspect, but yet they don't make any jokes ripping into the Chronicles of Narnia, instead it has the Centaur rapping to a popular song while he's showing his crib off to the girl. Basically what they're doing is mixing The Chronicles of Narnia with MTV Cribs and Rap videos. It's not funny though because it's not relevant to the movie itself, which is The Chronicles of Narnia. And the reason it's not relevant to the movie itself is because it is mass produced puke that's been spat out by 4th rate writers who can't write their way out of a paper bag. So most spoofs nowadays use this type of formula. Using pop culture within the moving they're suppose to be spoofing and it doesn't work, it's very stupid and unfunny. The only one that kind of worked with this style, and only because it made fun of the movies it was going after(at times) was Date Movie. And the only times that Date Movie was funny was when it made a joke relevant to the movie it was making fun of. And this is the exact reason Not Another Teen Movie is so freaking hilarious. It's first rate writing, actually some brilliant writing, mixed with some pretty good acting believe it or not. There are no cheap laughs or pop culture b.s. within Not Another Teen Movie. Every movie Not Another Teen Movie plays off of, it makes some great observations and relevant inside jokes towards that movie that it's making fun of and because the jokes make sense in their relevant nature, it's hilarious. Not Another Teen Movie doesn't go for the cheap joke, it's written so good that it doesn't have to go for a cheap joke that doesn't make any sense. It makes fun of everything from American Pie to Never Been Kissed. It also makes fun of She's All That a lot. Not Another Teen Movie points out how obviously beautiful Rachael Leigh Cook's character was in She's All That and the writers drive that point home with the hilarious spoof they do on the scene about the bet of picking a girl to be this years homecoming queen. Then Not Another Teen Movie makes fun of Varsity Blues, and they drive home the fact of how ridiculous it was to leave Reggie Ray(his name wasn't Reggie Ray in Varsity Blues, but it's the same actor) on the field and they also make fun of how many concussions he has left until he goes into pretty much a coma. Then they drive home that fact with Reggie Ray even more when the coach says 'Can He play?' 'He's Unconscious.' 'But Can he Play?' 'I don't even think he can breathe.'And Not Another Teen Movie doesn't just stop there. It makes fun of the movie process altogether. As one of the football players on the field in Not Another Teen Movie has a jersey on that says on the back of it 'Extra'. Hilarious stuff. This movie goes so deep and rings true on all levels that it goes after. Every joke is pretty much a hit, where as nowadays with the spoofs that are made, every joke is pretty much a miss. Not Another Teen Movie spoofs a lot of popular movies and it points out the ridiculous nature of all of those popular movies and because that ridiculous nature rings true and makes sense(And that's been the main problem for the last 10 years on spoofs, they don't ring true or make sense to the movie they're making fun of/spoofing on), it makes Not Another Teen Movie a classic! And one of the top 10 spoofs, in my opinion, of all time.

The most popular boy, Jake Wyler has bet his friends that he can make Janey Briggs–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 love struck 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.From the age of parodies, Not Another Teen Movie was released when spoof movies were actually funny and this is one funny parody movie. The movie basically makes fun of teen movies including the story. The story was okay and it made you laugh and the characters were done very well to depict all the stereotypical characters you see in teen movies such as Cruel Intentions, Bring It On, The Breakfast Club and American Pie. The acting was great and the actors and actresses made the characters that little bit more funny. The laughs were definitely there but not in every scene. As you guessed, there would be some toilet humour but Not Another Teen Movie does a good job in handling it well. Overall, it doesn't belong in the pits of Hell with the Seltzer and Friedburg abominations.I personally like this movie. It has some very funny, laugh-out-loud scenes which people could recognise from their favourite teen movie, however there were a couple of scenes that weren't funny but you forget about that. I just watched it for what it was: A funny, silly comedy that shouldn't be taken seriously. You know by looking at the trailer it's not going to win any awards for anything and you know it's not going to get many positive reviews but from me, it does. This is for anyone who wants to put their brain aside and just relax for an hour and a half.Read more reviews at: www.dudedazzmoviereviews.wordpress.com
