Entertainment Weekly
A big, fat, juicy spitball lobbed, with mostly dead-on aim, at the teen-smarm clichés that have accumulated like so much earwax over the last three years. - 60
Chicago Reader
Though it isn't so much funny as clever, the parody will hopefully discourage some aspiring teen-movie makers from doing the same old thing. - 50
New York Daily News
Occasionally funny but ultimately desperate comedy. - 38
New York Post
Toomuch of the humor in Not Another Teen Movie is either lame (the school in the movie is called "John Hughes High") or lamely disgusting. - 33
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
By the time a member of teen-movie royalty makes a cameo in the film's finale, Not Another Teen Movie has long exhausted any hope of succeeding. Instead it becomes, well, just another teen movie. - 30
L.A. Weekly
Of course, this is just another teen movie -- with tons of dick jokes that don't know when to quit, and buckets of realistic-looking "excrement" splattered all over its "juvenile" cast, and even a couple of gags that actually fly. - 25
Miami Herald
The cleverness begins and ends at the basic fact that it is being done. Really, it would be much more fun just to rent one of the originals. - 20
Variety
A nail in the coffin if not the heart of teen comedies.
