Completely Underrated


I don't understand why this movie has such low ratings on IMDB, RottenTomatoes, and Metacritic. I think this is one of the best parody movies ever.

Don't get me wrong I can't stand any Friedberg/Seltzer flick, those movies deserve horrible ratings.

I think this movie has developed somewhat of a cult following.

I've got to agree with the OP on this one. Personally, I thought this movie was hilarious, and certainly the best "teen" oriented spoof out there, well perhaps second only to Scary Movie. I gave it a 7/10, because for what it is, it's pretty entertaining.

I like this film as well. I am a fan of sex comedies, especially from the 1980's, and this is one of my favorites of the last 20 years.

I agree this movie is under rated, really funny, and deserves a second chance. I've seen it a few times now and always laugh. Too man parodies of late are just terrible (The Scary Movie franchise in particular). Not Another Teen Movie is well written, has great pacing, and the director really seems to know what he was doing.

If you've never seen it, its really worth watching.

I thought it was actually really well done, despite all the toilet humor. I thought it was done in a clever way... most of it, It was sort of making a commentary on the state of people's entertainment these days, especially with the teacher making the speech about "real comedy"... before getting shat on... normally I really hate the Wayan's Bros. Scary Movie type humour that just seems to be raunchy for no reason other than to get a cheap laugh, but there's a lot of hidden details, funny lines calling out the ridiculousness of teen movies, and good "bad" acting (I know that sounds like a contradiction)... and uses all that in both subtle and blatantly obvious fashion.

There's a few parts where I feel are really bad or overly ridiculous, but I can look past it with a lot of other content that is actually really well done. Especially the timing of music, pacing, and how it mimics the Teen movie genre, but also the acting... acting in the way that they are acting super serious, like how they are acting would be "good" (meaning acceptable for the genre) for a movie like say, She's All That... while saying the most ridiculous *beep* with the utmost and sincere sense of conviction. I've always found that style of humor funny, a la Hot Shots Part Deux.

I've watched this before with people, who don't get it, and are very surprised I even like the movie. I think if you can only see the toilet humor, and can't get past that or don't have an appreciation for the other detailed subtleties, you're just going to hate the movie.

It's garbarge. I just watched it. Everyone thinks it's so great because it's got all of these actors who were mostly up-and-comers or nobody's at the time who have now blossomed into popular actors. Or is it all the T&A? Regardless though the girls are hot, the movie is no better than all the spoof movies of the last decade. Aside from a few parts like the airport security guy letting Jake through but not the woman behind him, it was largely very unfunny and very untastefull overall.
