A clever satire that's layered like a breakfast club sandwich with sly in-jokes, sight gags, gross-out scenes, and, of course, requisite bathroom humor.

Consensus: NATM has some funny moments, but the movie requires the audience to have familiarity with the movies being spoofed and a tolerance for toilet and sexual humor to be truly effective.

Reviews for Not Another Teen Movie
A headache-inducing, lame-ass ride down memory lane.
12/14/01
Not Another Teen Movie is a happy, nasty and frequently hilarious assault on 20 years' worth of youth pictures.
12/14/01
Top CriticTeen is nothing more than the timelessly crude throwaway project it wants to be.
12/14/01
Top CriticAnother major culprit here is Joel Gallen, a former MTV exec whose idea of 'direction' is to drive a joke into the ground and continue to milk it long after it has become annoying.
12/14/01
It was not good to see yet still more wretched excess in the jokes about characters being sprayed with vast quantities of excrement.
12/14/01
Top CriticIf ever there were a genre long overdue for a vicious lampooning, it would have to be the cliché-plagued...teen comedy/romance. Now the time for reckoning has arrived.
12/13/01
A willfully bad film that makes fun of inadvertently bad films: the results are predictably unwatchable.
12/13/01
I admit I laughed once or twice but not enough to recommend anyone plunking down hard cash to see it.
12/13/01
By the time a member of teen-movie royalty makes a cameo in the film's finale, Not Another Teen Movie has long exhausted any hope of succeeding. Instead it becomes, well, just another teen movie.
12/13/01
For the most part NATM requires passing acquaintance with the source material.
12/13/01
A lowly slice of wanton vulgarity that will have people smacking their heads and exclaiming, 'Not another idiotic spoof movie!'
12/13/01
Like the generations it entertains, the vitality of the teen movie genre waxes and wanes.
12/13/01
Not only is it consistently clever, but it has respect for many of the movies it lampoons.
12/13/01
Stupid, offensive entertainment delivered with nothing more than a smirk is still stupid and offensive.
12/13/01
NATM gets in a few good jabs, but to call this a movie is to malign such thoughtful, well-constructed films as Dude, Where's My Car and Freddy Got Fingered.
12/13/01
For every one and a half good jokes, there’s a bad one, yet when its funny, its more often than not, very funny.
12/13/01
Too much of Not Another Teen Movie simply duplicates previous films, without adding anything.
12/13/01
Forget the teen movies; what this one has to worry about is audience members thinking 'Not Another Parody.'
12/13/01
Gruesomely unfunny, an appalling debacle that's like one long, agonizing groan...an astoundingly awful picture.
