Not Another Teen Movie
On a bet, a gridiron hero at John Hughes High School sets out to turn a bespectacled plain Jane into a beautiful and popular prom queen in this outrageous send-up of the teen movies of the 1980s and '90s.
Critics Sentiment
The Breakfast Club parody scene with original principal Paul Gleason
Jake uses movie cliches to stop Janey from leaving for Paris
The film peaks during the Breakfast Club parody sequence then gradually declines toward a more conventional ending that relies on the very cliches it mocks
Not Another Teen Movie succeeds best when directly parodying specific iconic scenes from 80s and 90s teen films, with the Breakfast Club sequence and Cruel Intentions incest subplot earning the strongest praise. The film maintains solid laughs throughout the middle act but loses some momentum in its final third as it becomes more reliant on the romantic comedy tropes it set out to satirize. Critics consistently noted that enjoyment heavily depends on familiarity with the films being parodied.
