NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE (2001)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Limited Release: Dec 14, 2001; Rated: R; Length: 82 Minutes; Genre: Comedy; With: Joy Bisco, Mia Kirshner, Jaime Pressly and Randy Quaid

A big, juicy spitball aimed at the teen-smarm cliches that have accumulated like so much earwax over the last three years. The dead-on joke is that in post-John Hughes Hollywood, a youth ''romance'' consists of nothing more than one entirely prescribed fashion-catalog role -- jock, princess, rebel -- falling for another.
