This film is to its genre and comedy more largely as essential as the films it makes fun of or references throughout its playtime. The jokes are actually funny, the caricatures, the dialog, the concepts...it's just really funny stuff if you know what they're making fun of. The humor isn't over-the-top trying hard to force you to laugh, it's over-the-top in how it makes blatant, unadulterated fun of the movies it spoofs, and it does it really, really well. It also, ironically, serves as a fantastic cinematic catalog or compilation that reminds us of all those teen movies, that late 90's/early new millennium era, cheesy as hell, with all the nu-metal bands and Britney Spears, American Pie, the seminal days of the internet and that teen culture that expressed itself ever so awkwardly and vainly. The cool cliques at school, the nerdy feminist girl, the white guys who think they're black or Asian, the utter idiocy and thickness of the teen movies...it's all there, and in good taste and strong satirical work - and however one may be biased in a generational way, this film for what it is, in its context, is really a gem.

The 'Not Another...' and '...Movie' franchises have just about been milked to death recently, as it has attempted to parody everything from Superhero films to Date movies. Both series follow the same pattern, lampooning more popular movies with a selection of gross-out gags and pratfalls. However, nowadays people may have forgotten that 'Not Another Teen Movie' was one of those rarities which actually worked.If you grew up in the nineties (like me), or just generally watch a lot of teenage 'rom-coms' then you'll probably be able to tell which films 'Not Another Teen Movie' is poking fun at. But, the best thing about it, is that the jokes are actually funny.The film is loosely tied together with a story about a popular boy trying to make an unpopular girl popular, but you can almost consider it a sketch show. Therefore some scenes work and others don't, but more do than don't.If you're as sick as the clichés used in teenage romance movies then you'll appreciate seeing them ridiculed here, or if you just fancy some daft, gross fun, then this could also be for you.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

I got this for Christmas one year, and my friends love it, but it is OK. This movie spoofs teen movies, as the title says. This movie has a character, Areole or something, and she is in the nude whenever she is shown. Only her breasts are shown though. Two other girls breasts are shown too. One girls behind is shown smushed against a window. The opening scene, a girl has a "toy" she is playing with. Her brother and his friends want to have "it" before the year is up. A man comes with whipped cream over his package. That man is Chris Evans or something like that. It has other strong sexual stuff and language.It's a funny movie, but the plot was stupid. The acting was so so. Some good, some I wanted to punch in the gut.17+

So awesome! The irony of this movie is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Nothing better to describe high school life. Its in my top-ten favorite movies, no doubt about that. The characters fit perfectly with the purpose of the story. I would say that all of them are brilliantly set up. On the other hand, the plot is carried on nicely: even though it relates about how the life in high school is, it takes out the best and the funniest thing of it. Not only makes a funny description of high school life, it also refers to scenes and situations that occurred in other teen movies like American pie, a letter to Amanda and some others. The clever way in which the movie links with those other movies, is ironic and very funny. In my opinion, this movie reaches the level of the ones which it relates them to, and maybe in certain situations goes higher than them.Some of the quotes that appear on it i would describe them are historical, i have watched it 4 or 5 times already, it gets even better. The view is far than recommended, its obligatory, for everybody.10/10
