For the final edition of #ThrowbackThursday movie reviews, we’re taking a trip down memory lane to the 2001 American teen comedy “Not Another Teen Movie.”

The film’s star studded cast includes Chyler Leigh, Chris Evans, Riley Smith, and it also features a guest cameo from the queen of teen films herself, Molly Ringwald.

Jake Wyler’s (Evans) cheerleader girlfriend Priscilla breaks up with him and just to spite him she starts dating peculiar Les (Smith). One of Jake’s friends, Austin (Christian Olsen), suggests that in order for Jake to get back at Priscilla he should turn unpopular student Janey Briggs (Leigh) into the new prom queen. With the help of his sister Catherine, Jake tries his best to win Janey over.

“Not Another Teen Movie” is a collection of storylines, scenes and memorable characters that borrows from teen films made decades beforehand.

If you’re a big teen movie lover such as myself some of the films that can be recognized are: “The Breakfast Club,” “Never Been Kissed,” “She’s All That,” “Varsity Blues,” “Cruel Intentions,” “10 Things I Hate About You” and a personal favorite of mine, “Bring It On.”

It seems strange that these movies are referenced, considering the fact that all these films belong to different genres and have different plot lines, but they actually come together in a hilarious way.

One of the things that can be enjoyed during the film is the way it pokes fun at Hollywood for consistent typecasting, especially when it comes to the portrayal of stereotypical teen movie characters. For example the main character, just like in most teen films, is an attractive and athletic popular male.

Janey is stereotyped as “The Pretty Ugly Girl.” In the early stages of the film she wears glasses, painted covered overalls, ponytails and a lot of guys deem her unattractive. It’s not until after the makeover Catherine gives her, which consisted of minimal effort (all she had to do was take off her glass and put her hair down), that she considered beautiful.

Overall you should definitely put this on your Netflix queue because not only is this film funny but at one or more points throughout watching you’ll recognize films it references. It’s also very refreshing to watch Hollywood roast themselves when it comes to teen movies.
