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.

Variety

The kind of movie where only some of the characters have last names, this essentially sweet-natured enterprise feels slightly rushed and distracted.

Director O'Haver fails to supply any proper shape or development.

This should have never been made. I'm surprised it made as much money as it did. Sisqo should never act again.

This is epically bad and completely insane. I had to use a lot of patience and willpower to get through this.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

Better than it has to be as a teen comedy with a lot of stuff going on and a strong cast, but largely forgettable.

It has its moments but Short is insanely annoying and the gross out "humor" absolutely guts the fun.

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.
