"Not Another Teen Movie" shows no mercy as it skewers the conventions and clichés of the genre you hate to love. Join Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh), an aspiring artist who is outcast by her classmates for wearing glasses, a ponytail and paint-covered overalls; and Jake Wyler (Chris Evans), the all-American football star who makes a foolish bet to turn Janey into a prom queen, in a risqué romp with an assortment of twisted takes on classic teen characters and teen movies.

Critics Consensus

NATM has some funny moments, but the movie requires the audience to have familiarity with the movies being spoofed and a tolerance for toilet and sexual humor to be truly effective.

If anything, you do your best to survive the joke-a-second onslaught and hope you find maybe one out of every six to be funny.

Rated: 2.5/4

Just when you think films have got as bad as they're ever going to be, along comes a picture that takes cinema to a whole new level of shoddiness.

Almost immediately disposable, fading from memory before it even ends.

When it comes to how to write a parody or even how to write a comedy film in genre there is none quite like Not Another Teen Movie. Every gag hits its mark and you will be laughing from start to finish.

Rated: 5/5

Everything I loved (and hated) about teen movies at the time is perfectly captured here. It's effortlessly funny and features probably the funniest Chris Evans performance.

If only they had listened to the title maybe we could have been saved by this monstrosity. There's a fine line between artfully mocking a genre and simply using comedy as an excuse to be lazy and generic. This falls into the latter.

funny and cheeky. however, its reliance on references to other romcoms (of course, it is a parody) made it overly predictable. reference humor can only take you so far.
