What to Know

Critics Consensus

As with most teen movies, Get Over It is entirely predictable, and there's not enough plot to sustain the length of the movie. However, it is not without its charms.

Eddie Cockrell Variety The kind of movie where only some of the characters have last names, this essentially sweet-natured enterprise feels slightly rushed and distracted. Jul 6, 2008 Full Review Wally Hammond Time Out Director O'Haver fails to supply any proper shape or development. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle This one's going down in my teen hall of fame. Rated: 3/5 Mar 10, 2003 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn This should have never been made. I'm surprised it made as much money as it did. Sisqo should never act again. Rated: 1/5 Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This is epically bad and completely insane. I had to use a lot of patience and willpower to get through this. Rated: 1/5 Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Common Sense Media Editors Common Sense Media Tired teen fare full of drinking, grossout humor. Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Tom F Better than it has to be as a teen comedy with a lot of stuff going on and a strong cast, but largely forgettable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Karl A A feel good whimsical romp from a dvd bin in my childhood that I always had a soft spot for, however I found myself rewatching this again after veiwing only murders in the building and seeing martin short play the character I felt all to familiar with, and I love him for it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Steve D It has its moments but Short is insanely annoying and the gross out "humor" absolutely guts the fun. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review michael t A well done mix of drama, musical, and comedy. Kirsten Dunst was quite fetching. The downside was Ben Foster's character was sort of annoying, especially since he was in about every scene. The overall effect of the play within the movie came together nicely at the end. Better than I expected. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great watch, will watch again, and can recommend. I'm extremely biased as I've watched this repeatedly: I really like modern, palatable adaptations of Shakespeare (which we seemed to quit after this), this even got me over not liking Kirsten Dunst. I get it if you think this movie is dated, hell it has Vitamin C and Sisqo in it, and it is full of tropey stuff, but when this was made, that was relatively newer stuff, and some of the things that people make fun of in later rom coms stems from this movie and its late 1990's early 2000's family. Music / singing in movies is fun, it's not always great, but it's usually fun (see Trolls: most people have fun, it doesn't "help" the story though), and setting a complex teen rom com at a high school level makes the music an easy palatable distraction. And this movie has a great cast, they clearly had fun making it: Martin Short of all people, even in 2001, Mila Kunis, Ben Foster, Colin Hanks, Zoe Saldana, Shane West, and even Carmen Electra makes an (uneccessary) cameo. While I'll admit the story is a little rudimentary, extended from Mid Summer Night's dream, and relying on stock characters to basically do what stock characters stereotypically do, there is just a lot of charm in this. For me, it's about demonstrating the relationships between the characters to make the world feel real. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review antonis k Silly but watchable!!!
