By now the movie theaters have been filled with teen movie fare, and there\u2019s some good fodder for fun. Sadly \u201cNot Another Teen Movie\u201d has so much nonsense, but also a lot of really brilliant material that you\u2019ll find yourself quoting for a while. It\u2019s a good thing the funny fodder outweighs the sheer misfires by a few inches, or else \u201cNot Another Teen Movie\u201d would be a botched missed opportunity. \u201cNot Another Teen Movie\u201d spoofs everything from John Hughes flicks all the way to recent hits like &#8220;Bring It On&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The subplot is taken from one of my least favorite teen flicks, &#8220;She&#8217;s All That,\u201d with dips in to other recent teen hits and some classics like \u201cBreakfast Club.\u201d In the movie, the &#8220;popular jock&#8221; and gets dumped by the &#8220;popular chick&#8221; for a &#8220;weird guy&#8221; spoofing that weird kid from &#8220;American Beauty&#8221;. So, the &#8220;popular jock&#8217;s&#8221; friends make him a bet that he can&#8217;t make a prom queen out of the &#8220;pretty ugly girl&#8221; which in fact is very hot when all that crap comes off of her. My favorite character though was &#8220;the token black guy,&#8221; who was barely in the film and spouted words like &#8220;shit&#8221;, &#8220;damn&#8221;, and &#8220;that is whack&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, you might have to see about every teen flick from the eighties and nineties to get most of the jokes here, but when a reference delivers with a good sight gag, it offers some raucous laughs. There are some great cameos by Molly Ringwald, Melissa Joan Hart, and Mr.T that make this worth watching, and lest I forget some great eye candy from Jaimme Presley. While \u201cNot Another Teen Movie\u201d completely falls apart by the climax, it more than makes up for it with a solid first half that does a good job lampooning iconic teen movie moments. It\u2019s no masterpiece, but if you like spoof movies, this might keep you giggling \u2018til the end.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=thebalconymov-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B01LTHOMLU&amp;asins=B01LTHOMLU&amp;linkId=88252f3138c58c71152dc6ac437b2486&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true&amp;price_color=ba7900&amp;title_color=00549f&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a shame that \u201cNot Another Teen Movie\u201d is such a mixed bag, as it has a ton of material to derive some great laughs from.
