Not Another Teen movie is a collage of all the top teen movies of the recent years. It projects all the funny aspects of the teen movies in an amusing, amorous manner. It is a spoof in its truest form, but then again not a spoof at all.
We meet up with these characters, Jake Wyler, the humdinger high school kid, son of a rich guy, who believes that he can get any girl in high school he wants. His twisted sister Catherine, whose ultimate fantasy is to do it with her brother. (Cruel Intentions anyone ??) Then we have the innocent yet stupid Janey Briggs, a girl whom almost everyone considers to be un-date-able. Her sex maniac brother Mitch and his two friends Bruce and Ox. Jake's witty linguistic friends, Austin, the mighty Reggie Ray and the insanely funny Black guy Malik.(This is so much like Varsity Blues) Then there's Jake's ex girl friend Priscilla and her weird boy friend Les. (American Beauty). Plus there's a multitude of other small characters who make this movie more colorful and hysterically funny.
The plot is pretty simple, considering that the central plot is almost a rip off from the movie Can't Hardly Wait. But it is forgivable because it is so funny. We got this spoilt kid, who just got dumped by his smoking hot girl friend for some weird photographer guy. So his best buddies get him a bet that he has to date some girl of their choice and make her the most popular girl in college, a.k.a Prom Queen. He takes up the challenge i.e to turn the most hopeless girl as his partner. There are many ups and downs along the way, but eventually they do get together in the last scene. Dang, the last scene with the flight attendant is so damn funny.
There's a good soundtrack to this movie if anyone is interested. The screenplay was too funny to be true. It got me howling throughout the 90 minutes. The acting is just about okay. Kudos to the makers who got this ultra brilliant idea of NATM.
I would disagree that NATM is too crude or more raunchy than its purpose. Yes, its a teen movie and it is directed to an audience whose age is between 17 to 25. But then again you got the R rating coming along with it. And to those who scream at American teen comedies being too raunchy, give me a break. Because it is absolutely impossible to meet up with someone in his mid thirties who hasn't seen American Pie, NATM, Ten things I hate About You, or any from National Lampoon's production house.
Besides when you are reviewing something like NATM, there's not much you can say is there ??
