	Movies - Not Another Teen Movie

Not Another Teen Movie is a film released in 2001 by Sony Pictures. It is a parody of the teen movies and other cinematic portrayals of adolescence which have accumulated in Hollywood over the last few decades. While the general plot is based on She's All That
, the film is also packed with allusions to numerous other films, including Grease, The Breakfast Club, Never Been Kissed, Cruel Intentions, Sixteen Candles, American Pie, American Beauty, 10 Things I Hate About You, Can't Hardly Wait, Bring It On, Varsity Blues, and Clueless.

Plot

The movie starts with Jake Wyler (Chris Evans), the school jock/Mr. Popular, being dumped by his girlfriend Priscilla (Jaime Pressly), the bitchy cheerleader. After he is dumped, he ends up making a bet with his friends that he can make Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh) into prom queen but inadvertently falls in love with her. Meanwhile Ricky (Eric Jungmann), Janey's best friend who is also in love with her, tries to fight for her affection. In the end, Jake turns Janey into the "perfect girl" but she finds out about his bet and runs away. Both Jake and Ricky chase her but Ricky gets hit by several bicycles, and then a bus. Jake catches up with Janey, professes his love and they live happily ever after.

Janey's younger brother Mitch, seems to get into mischief with his two friends, Ox and Bruce, and ends up going with Amanda Becker (Lacey Chabert).
