 Kicked off the whole series. August 15, 2008
This is where the scary movie writers branched off to make [insert other genre] movie spoofs, and this is the point where it all started to go even further downhill.
This claims to be "Not Another Teen Movie", but it really couldn't be anything BUT another teen movie. Made to appeal to those who were sickened by cheesy pop romantic comedies like 10 things I hate about you and She's All That, it takes a huge truckload of potty humor and sex jokes that teens would like and throws AS MANY OF THEM AS IT CAN at you over the course of the movie. It's simply on the other side of the "teen" spectrum, banking on all the other teen movies to fuel its own popularity.
While I did enjoy the cute little references to 80s movies thrown in here and there, most of the movie was just boring and unfunny parodies. In fact, the movie suffers from the same problems that all of the [Genre movies that followed it have. They basically took everything that's currently popular, so that it would be easy to get, and put a sex/drug/gross-out spin on it. That's pretty much it.
I wouldn't say this movie is great, but it does have its appeal to some people. If you liked the scary movie series you might like this, if you liked date/epic/etc. movie you'll most likely enjoy it quite a bit. If you're unsure, give it a rent, but don't expect much.
 Mostly hilarious, but... August 11, 2008
...it really helps to have seen a lot of the material they're spoofing here, and to have enjoyed it on a superficial level, such that you can both catch the references as well as laugh at them. The obvious movies are Ten Things I Hate About You and She's All That, but there are also lesser bits from Cruel Intentions, American Pie, Varsity Blues, Pretty In Pink, Breakfast Club, Never Been Kissed, Can't Hardly Wait, and probably countless others.
Additionally, it's a important to plod past the infamous toilet scene here, because I assure you, the movie does get better, and no one joke is as unfunny as that one.
Actually, surprisingly, very funny July 9, 2008

I am NOT a fan of crude comedies. Animal House, Superbad, Knocked Up- hate all of them. So when I caught this on TV, well, I was stunned. It pulled me in and really, really made me laugh. The "Jamie's got a gun" scene may be the hardest I've ever laughed during a movie. A great cast (Jaime Pressley! Chris Evans!) makes this comedy really work.
 Yet another teen movie May 27, 2008

"Not another teen movie" is just that - another teen movie. There are about 5 actually funny parts in the entire movie and the rest is fluff. The movie tried too much and tried to parody too many movies at the same time as staying in the plot of She's All That. This movie is only good for pointing out which movie it is parodying. The cast was pretty good though and they tried to deliver a funny movie, but it just was too much thrown in the same melting pot.
