    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.

    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.
  3. Formless, feckless, mindless, directionless and at times stunningly humorless.
  4. 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.

  1. I've only seen a handful of the movies that this parodies, yet still find this one of the most funny and repayable stupid comedies out there. No American Pie morality, no underlying sub-plots, just pure stupid jokes, crammed in T&A and the odd offensive gag in there to add the slight edge here (although that is very underplayed). I absolutely love this film and the way it drags cheesy yank rom-coms down to the level of us every-day Joe's. A classic. Expand
  2. GaborA.

    Though it tries to make you think that it's spoofing teen comedies, the movie has unfortunatley become the very thing it sought to destroy.
