Not Another Teen Movie - Better than your average `spoof' movie

The `Not Another...' and `...Movie' franchises have just about been milked to death recently, as it has attempted to parody everything from Superhero films to Date movies. Both series follow the same pattern, lampooning more popular movies with a selection of gross-out gags and pratfalls. However, nowadays people may have forgotten that `Not Another Teen Movie' was one of those rarities which actually worked.

If you grew up in the nineties (like me), or just generally watch a lot of teenage `rom-coms' then you'll probably be able to tell which films `Not Another Teen Movie' is poking fun at. But, the best thing about it, is that the jokes are actually funny.

The film is loosely tied together with a story about a popular boy trying to make an unpopular girl popular, but you can almost consider it a sketch show. Therefore some scenes work and others don't, but more do than don't.

If you're as sick as the clichés used in teenage romance movies then you'll appreciate seeing them ridiculed here, or if you just fancy some daft, gross fun, then this could also be for you.

7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
