A big, fat, juicy spitball lobbed, with mostly dead-on aim, at the teen-smarm cliches that have accumulated like so much earwax over the last three years.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

It's stupid, it's obvious, it's scatological and violent -- but it made me laugh and I'm giving it thumbs up, God help me.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

More often than not you'll be groaning from painful recognition rather than actually laughing.

Save your time, save your money, save your soul. Stay at home.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Rotten

The makers of Not Another Teen Movie should be embarrassed that, in parodying She's All That, they copied most of the plot and then made a movie that bogs down in the same places as the original.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
