Not Another Teen Movie is one of the biggest movie spoofs to hit the big screens. Some might go as far as to say that it's the blueprint for modern teen movie parodies. Let's break down what the film is actually about — and, don't worry, we won't spoil all the best bits.
The film is set at John Hughes High School (yes, it's the John Hughes you're thinking of). It's jam-packed with all the cliché teens: the mean it-girl, the jock, the rebel, and the awkward bestie.
The plot kicks off with popular jock Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) making a dare-fuelled promise. He plans on turning the lame "nerdy" girl, Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh), into the ultimate prom queen. The makeover spirals into an over-the-top transformation that's fuelled with exaggerated tropes, like corny montages and explosive teen drama. It's even got a bunch of smart little nods to iconic teen flicks, like The Breakfast Club (1985).
Out of all the teen movies out there, this one definitely spins the classic trope on its head. Not Another Teen Movie has been a favourite comedy for the past two decades — it's the gift that keeps giving!
Here's why we love Not Another Teen Movie:
The very same team behind horror-parody Scary Movie (2000) made Not Another Teen Movie.
It's written by a mastermind team, including Adam Jay Epstein, the genius behind Class Act (2006) and Extreme Movie (2008). Joel Gallen is the one who directed it. You may know his name from other famed comedy works like Never Scared (2004) and Jack Black: Spiderman (2002).
Not Another Teen Movie is ready to rent and stream on Apple TV and Google Play Movies & TV. You can also get it on Amazon Prime TV for free with a subscription. Because it’s available on all the best platforms, you get more access and can watch Not Another Teen Movie on your laptop, smart TV, phone, or tablet.
Not Another Teen Movie gets pretty raunchy and explicit throughout. It's rated R, so it's definitely not one for the youngsters — it's recommended for anyone aged over 17. It's filled with a bunch of adult themes, like sexual humour, explicit language, and full nudity. Given all the mature scenes, it's best to keep the kids away from this one.
The main characters in Not Another Teen Movie include Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) and Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh). Jake's the high school heartthrob jock, and Janey's basically the 'nerdy' girl — an unlikely pair we know all too well.
Not Another Teen Movie is a firecracker parody film or spoof. It's full of punchy wit, ironic montages, overly dramatic narratives, and cliché tropes that mock classic teen flicks. Whether you love or hate teen films, this one is bound to win you over.
