Consensus: As with most teen movies, Get Over It is entirely predictable, and there's not enough plot to sustain the length of the movie. However, it is not without its charms.

Runtime: 86 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Director Tommy O'Haver's (BILLY'S HOLLYWOOD SCREEN KISS) sophomore effort is a breezy teen romance that injects a much needed jolt of wit and energy into an overworked genre. Ben Foster (FREAKS AND... Director Tommy O'Haver's (BILLY'S HOLLYWOOD SCREEN KISS) sophomore effort is a breezy teen romance that injects a much needed jolt of wit and energy into an overworked genre. Ben Foster (FREAKS AND GEEKS) stars as Berke, a fairly nondescript basketball player whose romance with the beautiful Allison (Melissa Sagemiller) has made him the happiest man in school as well as the envy of his classmates. Unfortunately, Allison doesn't feel the same way and dumps him in the opening minutes of the film. Determined to win her back, Berke auditions for the high school play, "A Midsummer Night's Rockin' Dream," in which Allison has snagged the lead role. Thwarting his hopes of reconciliation is the guy that Allison just started dating, Striker, a transfer student who heads a semi-famous boy band and sports a laughable European accent. Enlisting the help of his best friend's sister, Kelly (Kirsten Dunst), Berke tries to rehearse for the play and finds his emotions caught between his past with Allison and his burgeoning feelings for Kelly. Sweet and funny (especially during Martin Short's appearances as the play's name-dropping director), GET OVER IT is an excellent teen film bolstered by an exceptional cast. [More]

Shakespeare probably made the point best: Teens rule; parents drool.

Too many times, a strange brand of humor appears and sours the proceedings.

The movie is short, watchable, and altogether serviceable. But that's not enough.

Offers a lot of yuks and a lot of fun.

Fails to impart a convincing ambiance to this particular high school, which comes off more like some lamely inhabited TV-sitcom set.

The first half is the usual brain-dead high school romantic comedy. It is pretty bad. The second half ... is pretty good.

... needed – but didn’t get – a good script doctor to rip out the stuff that doesn’t work while keeping the good material.

There's real imagination here, but not quite enough.

Get Over It is mostly an amateur hour fiasco.

It's incredibly insipid, but it isn't offensive or wretched to sit through.

It's predictable but charming and just the thing to take some of the sting out of this season of box-office discontent.

Here's a fundamental rule of filmmaking: if you need to rely on a dog humping everything in sight to get laughs, you are not making a good movie.

All its brief flickers of originality never add up to much and it never captures the spirit O'Haver obviously had in mind.
