Not Another Teen Movie
No Longer Playing
1999 89 min
John Hughes High School sports every high school trope Hollywood could imagine: the handsome jock, the unique rebel, the desperate virgin, the stuck-up cheerleader, the cruelest girl, the token black guy. And whether they’re at senior prom, the varsity home game, or the rich kid’s big party—no cliché is safe from the gag-a-minute Zucker-level comedy assault that is NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE. This savage send up requires no previous homework. You need not have seen all the targeted teen classics to throw yourself back laughing at this parade of gleeful, adolescent vulgarity. Take the edge off your own embarrassing high school experience with this beyond-whacky parody that manages to both cleverly deconstruct the genre and, according to one reviewer, “break the land speed record for poop ’n' piss jokes.” Ah, to be young!
