Funny Or Stupid? Not Another Teen Movie.

I'm hoping to rent it this week but wondered what you had to say in advance...

I found it to be pretty amusing, albeit pretty stupid at the same time. I picked it up due to its surprisingly large amount of extras.

No offense to anyone who found this funny, but I thought it was absolutely terrible! I didn't even finish the whole DVD. Why oh why do I make blind purchases! The movie tried to be what it was spoofing and it didn't work. They tried to spoof to many movie with to little time and some of them weren't even funny. Avoid at all costs! (IMHO)

I thought this movie was hilarious. This was one of my favorite comedies of last year, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes teen comedies or spoof movies.

I thought it was badly done. If they stuck to just spoofing 90's teen comedies, it would've succeeded in the way that Scary Movie did. However, this movie just threw all this crap at you right after another. A complete failure and unfunny stuff. Maybe a rental, at best.

100% correct. Absolutely stupid and absolutely hilarious. I laughed my head off. A lot of the humor is pretty offensive, but the movie's ability to make fun of so many teen movies had me in stitches, and I'm personally glad they didn't just spoof '90s films but some of my favorite '80s films as well. It's not The Godfather, but it is darn funny.

It was pretty much what I expected...Funny YES, Stupid YES...overall I would say it was worth the rental...It was good for a lot of laughs...I don't think I would actually buy this one though...but definitely worth the $2.49 to see it

Funny and stupid is the correct answer. I think it spoofs the genre rather nicely. It is whack!

The whole movie is pretty much a "hit or miss".

Absolutely 100% unmistakably stupid.

I fail to see the humor in ripping scenes off from other movies... maybe changing one line... and grouping them together with no obvious purpose.

...but I also thought that Scary Movie was a complete waste of time too. I must require some creativity to be entertained or something....

Does anyone know the name of the song playing when the bitching cheerleaders comes in (right after the cruelest girl)?

It's worth renting just to see the Cheerleader scene over and over...

The trailer was funny. The movie was stupid.
