75
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A 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.

75
Boston Globe
Jonathan Perry
A 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.
70
The New York Times
Dana Stevens
A happy, nasty and frequently hilarious assault on 20 years' worth of youth pictures.

60
Film Threat
Gareth Von Kallenbach
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.

60
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Though it isn't so much funny as clever, the parody will hopefully discourage some aspiring teen-movie makers from doing the same old thing.

50
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Occasionally funny but ultimately desperate comedy.

50
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
To spend 82 minutes watching Not Another Teen Movie would be a reckless waste of your time, no matter how many decades you may have to burn.

50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A raunchy romp through the peeping-Tomism, potty humor, raging hormones and social humiliation that are standard issue in the Hollywood high-school sex comedy.

50
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
It can't help but fall prey itself to a final deadly genre cliché: Its soundtrack outsparkles the movie.

40
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
This scattershot comedy (which might be called "irreverent" if anyone actually revered movies like AMERICAN PIE) features vulgar gags at the expense of recent youth-oriented pictures.

40
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Some routines are funny, it must be said. But more often than not, you'll be groaning with painful recognition rather than actually laughing.

38
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
Formless, feckless, mindless, directionless and at times stunningly humorless.
38
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Toomuch of the humor in Not Another Teen Movie is either lame (the school in the movie is called "John Hughes High") or lamely disgusting.

33
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Ellen Kim
By the time a member of teen-movie royalty makes a cameo in the film's finale, Not Another Teen Movie has long exhausted any hope of succeeding. Instead it becomes, well, just another teen movie.

30
LA Weekly
Ron Stringer
Of course, this is just another teen movie -- with tons of dick jokes that don't know when to quit, and buckets of realistic-looking "excrement" splattered all over its "juvenile" cast, and even a couple of gags that actually fly.

30
Los Angeles Times
Robin Rauzi
That's not to say there aren't funny moments here. There are. Two, maybe three of them. But unless you're a hearty 14-year-old -- who of course is not supposed to be seeing this R-rated movie -- it's hardly worth fishing them out of the potty humor and repulsive sex talk.

25
Miami Herald
Charles Savage
The cleverness begins and ends at the basic fact that it is being done. Really, it would be much more fun just to rent one of the originals.

20
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A nail in the coffin if not the heart of teen comedies.

11
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
Aiming to break the land speed record for poop 'n' piss jokes.

0
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
If there is a Hell, Not Another Teen Movie will be playing for all eternity on every screen there.

0
New Times (L.A.)
Robert Wilonsky
It took five men to concoct the hackneyed plot and conceive the brainless jokes that constitute Not Another Teen Movie, meaning there are five men in Los Angeles right now still trying to wash that stink off their soft, idle hands.

0
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Proves that it's possible to make a movie so tasteless and so crude that audiences don't laugh. This is worthwhile information. It means there's a limit.
