GET OVER IT (2001)

EW's GRADE
D

Details Release Date: Mar 09, 2001; Rated: PG-13; Length: 90 Minutes; Genres: Comedy, Drama; With: Kirsten Dunst, Ben Foster and Melissa Sagemiller; Distributors: Dimension Films and Miramax

The director, Tommy O'Haver, knows next to nothing about how to stage a conventional dramatic scene, but based on his flair for credit sequences, he should immediately go out and make a lip-synched pop musical. The rest of Get Over It is an amateur-hour fiasco. Between bouts of rancid slapstick that make Saving Silverman look competent, the film delivers a pastel version of a fifth-rate John Hughes triangle, with Kirsten Dunst looking shiny and bored. D
