Summary
RATING: PG-13 for some crude/sexual humor, teen drinking and language
Starring Kirsten Dunst, Ben Foster, Mila Kunis, Melissa Sagemiller, Park Bench, Michael Boisvert, Swoosie Kurtz, and Martin Short
Berke Landers (Foster) has done the impossible and landed the babe of everyone's high school dreams, Allison (Sagemiller). Just as he is really beginning to enjoy his newfound popularity -- he gets unexpectedly dissed for the hot new guy in school. Crushed, he is willing do just about anything to win Allison back. (Miramax)

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Breaks the formula for teen romances. Martin Short, as the vain and zany drama teacher, does not disappoint.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
A charmer with an attractive cast and an excellent soundtrack.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
A delightful and exuberant bit of romantic comedy and, as a bonus, it breathes new life into a pair of '70s musical chestnuts long off our culture's radar screens.
Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
A blithe-spirited comedy in which teenagers discover their romantic vicissitudes mirrored in their high school production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It's being directed by their nasty drama teacher (Martin Short, hilarious), who has written 12 original songs for the production.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dana Stevens
Mild, harmless and occasionally affecting, possessing the fizz of diet soda and the sweet snap of slightly stale bubble gum.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
Ao relentlessly, gleefully dumb -- without being the slightest bit sardonic -- that you just can't help but guffaw … or groan … but probably both.
Read Full Review >Film.com Sean Means
The surprising part is how, once you get over the crude humor that the teen-movie genre demands, Get Over It is a nice little movie.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Anonymously titled and packaged like a vulgar teen sex comedy, this candy-colored trifle is so precious it nearly floats away on a cloud of fairy dust.
Read Full Review >Variety Eddie Cockrell
A mildly diverting, largely inoffensive teen laffer that's long on cartoonish high school hijinks but short on dramatic concentration and crucial story details.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
Deserves to be applauded for not casting Freddie Prinze Jr., but this sloppy, somnolent, strung-together flick pales when compared to such other teenage riffs on classic literature as "Clueless" and "10 Things I Hate About You."
Boston Globe Christopher Muther
Comes off more like a series of painful cliches than a comedy or a love story.
New York Post Lou Lumenick
A lame teen comedy.
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
The only performer I enjoyed watching was Martin Short, who plays a bitch dandy music teacher with a smile so fake that the comedian seems to be acting with his gums.

It's a very excellent movie... I saw it more than 20 times of late, and should like to see it more and more, but was the end of rent the film... I'm so interested in this movie and the performances.
