Not Another Teen Movie

Hysterically funny, Not Another Teen Movie is a brilliant sendup of the teen genre. Parodying She’s All That, American Pie, Cruel Intentions, Jawbreaker, Pretty in Pink, Bring It On, and many, many others, the film does a great job at covering the major hits of the ‘80s and ‘90s. And the satire is incredibly well-done, and uses the clichés and stereotypes of the genre in fun, clever ways. Starring Chyler Leigh, Chris Evans, Jaime Pressly, Mia Kirshner, Lacey Chabert, and Eric Christian Olsen, the casting is especially good, and they do an excellent job at playing to the character archetypes of teen films. Yet while the comedy’s broad enough to work for a general audience, to really appreciate Not Another Teen Movie and what it’s doing you have to know the material it’s spoofing.

Was unfortunately relegated to the "shitty parody movies of the 2000s" category when it is actually so much more funny than any of the other "Movie Movies" that came after.. Some of the jokes remind me of early Leslie Nielsen gags when he made the switch to comedy, like: "Who are you and how did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith, and I'm a locksmith." Also, I need to applaud Sam Huntington's Oz from American Pie impersonation, because it was spot on.
