Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
tbills2 This movie gets lost in the mix of good teen comedies made around the time because it didn't have a huge popularity and there's a total disconnect from attempting to appease the audience with a clear, presentable story or setting up the story with story points and story lines and whatnot and it's somewhat boring, BUUUUUUTTTTT the good thing is because of that previous sentence, Get Over It is a really nice flick to get lost in for some time with funny and absorbing characters without your standard introductions. The introduction scene of 'Love Will Keep Us Together' done by Vitamin C and some cool extras is classy. Ben Foster is really talented and acts easier then most, and he turns up the intensity so naturally better than most, BUUUUUTTTTTTTT, the shame is he takes it too far often and he acts strangely like he's on permanent intense mode like he's a super actor or something but he needs to tone down the nerves a little bit. I would not mention this sexy little bikini scene in Get Over It if not for the fact that Kirsten Dunst and Mila Kunis are incredibly hot together. I love Kirsten. Mila too. Sisqo too. Martin Short is funny. I'm sure he knows that. I love Martin Short. Colin Hanks is good. Swoosie Kurtz and Ed Begley Jr. are both nice to see. Get Over It has a nice easy vibe with good writing that makes it a favorite of many.
arthurmauk I caught this on TV again last night and I was reminded of just how much fun it was to watch this movie. In the age where teen slapstick comedies are a pound for a dozen, Hollywood occasionally manages to get it just right and produce something with heart, like this one. The story is loosely based around The Bard's perhaps most popular comedy in that it also utilises a love square.Sure, the film is never going to win an Academy Award any time soon, but really, that's not what you're watching this film for, is it? It's light and fluffy, perfect for a night in with some friends and you can all get some laughs out of it. The casting was perfect; right down to Shane West's laughably abysmal accent. Ben Foster is definitely nerdy enough to play the "hapless loser" or so Berke calls himself, and you can't help but feel sorry for him as he tries so hard at every turn to win back his ex-girlfriend in vain. But sometimes you just want to scream at him for not seeing what's right in front of him: Kelly, played by the gorgeous Kirsten Dunst, the quintessential girl next door. However, the star of the show here is actually Martin Short, who manages to steal every scene he's in as a maniacal, completely OTT drama director. His lines are pure gold and he manages to accompany that with a crazed performance – "Pluck! You've got to PLUCK it!" What sets this film apart from all the rest is that it's a musical that works. The actual production at the end was fantastic, had some great energetic, toe-tapping numbers and O'Haver did a marvellous job directing it. This is exactly what High School Musical tried to be and failed. It's a shame that some of the production songs aren't on the OST because if carried out in full, I think they're good enough to fit onto an album in their own right. I know I would love to watch the final production in its entirety. Kirsten Dunst really surprised me with how good of a singer she is.So watch it, laugh out loud, and don't take it too seriously. It sure didn't.
queenmab1230 This movie is infectiously brilliant. I saw it at a camp one summer, and then showed it to a friend when I got home. She immediately went out and bought it. It's a bucketful of laughs. The acting is incredible, the soundtrack catchy, and the script is a riot.Ben Foster just oozes adorable vulnerability, and, though he's not the most attractive guy, it's easy to see why first Allison and then Kelly fall for him. The story relies heavily on his emotions and the humor, and, in my opinion, that's really the way a story should be told.This movie keeps me in stitches and even though it's slightly predictable- hey, teen movie here, guys- it more than makes up for it.I love this movie so much that I've watched it more times than I've seen The Lion King. If you enjoyed 10 Things I Hate About You, Drive Me Crazy, or Clueless, you'll love this movie.
Shaolin_Apu This is not a very good film. There has clearly been an intention to create a comedy, but you don't really often get to see a comedy where jokes ruin the whole pleasure. If those poor ones had been left straight out, the viewers had been released from many miseries. Does it belong to the plot to make spectators really feel like the poor guy who loses his life-time girlfriend? If that was intended, why "jokes"? If this had been tragedy, a much better item it had been! Beautiful Kirsten Dunst does it at least worth something for she does not disappoint in acting part either. With this flower your can forgive much unpleasant moments and maybe even accustomize into the situation to enjoy the shallow Shakespeare element that however does not save from the complete disaster either.
