Movie review - "Not Another Teen Movie" (2001) **1/2

A film made by people of considerable talent, because there are some really funny lines and situations - making fun of the girl who comes in with hair flowing (a la Jennifer Love Hewitt in Can't Hardly Wait), the token black, the slow hand clap, the best friend who consistently suffers. There are three levels of humour - spoofs of the 90s teen films, of the 80s teen films (I remember watching this in the cinema - you'd have older people laughing during these bits) and (unfortunately) gross out humour (eg watching a girl urinate), which feels like was shoved in as a post-American Pie box office "guarantee". The plot is basically the same as She's All That and actually works better here. A surprising number of soon-to-be-well-known actors are in this including Jamie Pressley and Chris Evans.
