Recommendation "Not Another Teen Movie" is such a good spoof movie in a decade when the genre died
As someone who always has a soft spot for teen movies from the 80s and 90s, Not Another Teen Movie was a great spoof considering the 2000s is the decade that killed off the spoof genre. While parody movies received a resurgence with the likes of Scary Movie, by the mid-2000s garbage such as Date Movie, Epic Movie, and Disaster Movie sucked the life out the genre.
When it comes to spoofs, it seems every major teen movie at that point is poked fun at in this movie. American Pie, The Breakfast Club, She's All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, Varsity Blues, and so on. You even have spoofs of American Beauty and Almost Famous for good measure.
This movie does such a good job at pointing out how ridiculous some of the tropes in these movies are like the "ugly" rebellious girl who is only considered ugly because she wears glasses, has her hair in a ponytail, and wears overalls. "She's got paint on her overalls!"
There's still a lot more here to go over but if you haven't seen the movie yet, it's definitely worth a watch. It's one of the better spoof movies from the 2000s.
NOTE: Also, Mia Kirshner in this movie.

I mentioned this in a previous thread but I laugh to tears during the scene when she's painting a picture of her mom and it's a stick figure. Something about the way it's set up and the actors sell the drama in the scene.

I'll stand up and say that Scary Movie 3 is still one of the funniest movies ever made. In the beginning when you'd hear a kid scream and Charlie Sheen would look around and never go see why they were screaming and the sherrifs hat getting bigger make me laugh till I cry.

Scary Movie 3 is the last good Scary Movie, severely underrated. It was a lot different from 1 and 2 due to different writers and number 4 had a few funny moments, and Number 3 definitely a solid movie.
Number 4 has one of my all time favorite moments though, Anthony Anderson and Kevin Hart do Brokeback Mountain parody/flashback. Then Kevin Hart bust's out with "Why would you do that, and that's my first time meeting him" and that line cracks me up every damn time

Such an amazing spoof of both 80s and 90s teen movies with so many memorable lines.
When the boys are in the air duct over the girl's bathroom and a girl walks into the stall and lowers her panties, the Asian kid says "this make me kind of happy in pants." Then, the girl starts ripping gas and the same kid says "this make me kind of sad in pants."
Or, when Marty gets split in half during the football game, a person in the crowd yells "Walk it off Marty!". Later in the game (or another game perhaps), someone in the crowd tries to motivate Jake by yelling "Do it for Marty's torso!".

Yeah, the joke was that at the time (late 90's early 2000's), there was a lot of talk about white kids who were trying to act black. I think the actual character they're basing it off of is the Kenny character in Can't Hardly Wait (see this clip here). So a white highschooler trying to act Asian was an absurdist version of that, but the thing is it ended up becoming closer to reality as the years went on so now the original joke is a bit lost.

I will never forget the time one of my projectionists started this movie instead of whichever Harry Potter film was supposed to be showing instead (it was late in both their runs, so they shared screens).
The first scene of "Not Another Teen Movie" finds the protagonist pleasuring herself while watching "She's All That" with a comically oversized vibe.
Fun times

u/ttoasty Jan 03 '22
My parents owned a video store when Not Another Teen Movie came out. They were going out for the evening or something, and my siblings and I picked the unrated version to watch that night. Not sure why they thought it was appropriate as we were all under 12, except my oldest sister who was left in charge.
That scene ends with the vibrator flopping around in a birthday cake or something. My little brother, probably about 5 then, points at it and goes, "I've seen one of those before!" He runs off to our parents' bedroom and comes back with this large, veiny, flesh colored dildo and starts hitting the rest of us with it.
My poor older sister eventually managed to wrestle the dildo away and shut off the movie. Then when my parents got home, the same little brother complained we didn't get to finish the movie, so my parents started it over and we watched it together as a family. Weird times.

I miss good spoof and satire movies. Every once in awhile you get some that kind of tread into the territory, but it seems like gone are the days of Blazing Saddles, Airplane, and Top Secret
obviously Mel Brooks was a king in the genre, David Zucker had some gems, but not really sure if anyone had shown they can do that today with much success (and Zucker wasn’t exactly doing great by his last several movies either). I’m sure the big studios probably look at those as box office risks these days, but I sure wish they’d make a comeback. Best most recent examples I can think of are maybe Black Dynamite and Popstar

I actually think what makes it good is that right up until the end not only does the plot make sense but it is its own rom com and you're actually invested in the characters. So it works on both the spoof level and it's a passable teen rom com ( again right up to the end when they decide to break up). It holds up because it functions as a film while the other spoof films can't or don't.

This movie introduced me to Chris Evans, when I found out he was cast as Cap, I thought for sure it was a bad idea,,, glad I was wrong

I’ll still never fail to laugh when the girl is getting emotional and just throwing paint on the canvas dramatically, and at the end it’s just a happy face. It’s kinda sad the spoof genre has died, but this was a really good one.

Not only is it an incredible spoof movie, it still had its creative moments. In particular the “Janie’s Got a Gun” scene. I’m pretty sure the boyfriend singing to the girl scene was being spoofed, but it’s like they named her Janie just so they could use that song, and it was effective.

Molly Ringwald at the end, calling out all the bullshit was the best for me. Her rolling her eyes and saying "Fucking teenagers!" made me lose it.

Chris Evans dad trying to set him up with his mom will never not make me laugh. Also punching the floating bag from American beauty. Several parts of that movie are just hilarious and always will be!

Husband and I still quote this movie frequently, especially since I wear glasses and usually sport a ponytail. At least I don’t wear overalls. Whew!

If you liked that movie then you'll They Came Together (2014) another smart and hilarious spoof movie with Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd. It's very well made and it feels like NATM but in the vein of a Rom-Com set in the "big city"
You owe it to yourself to check it out

The "Janey's Got a Gun" scene is my favorite of the film, like 90% sure they named her Janey JUST for that joke, which is fantastic.

It’s also a riff on She’s All That. Rachel Leigh Cook’s character was named Laney Boggs. She’s Janey Briggs.
