San Francisco Chronicle
Breaks the formula for teen romances. Martin Short, as the vain and zany drama teacher, does not disappoint. - 75
New York Daily News
A charmer with an attractive cast and an excellent soundtrack. - 70
Los Angeles Times
A blithe-spirited comedy in which teenagers discover their romantic vicissitudes mirrored in their high school production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It's being directed by their nasty drama teacher (Martin Short, hilarious), who has written 12 original songs for the production. - 70
The New York Times
Mild, harmless and occasionally affecting, possessing the fizz of diet soda and the sweet snap of slightly stale bubble gum. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Ao relentlessly, gleefully dumb -- without being the slightest bit sardonic -- that you just can't help but guffaw … or groan … but probably both. - 60

The surprising part is how, once you get over the crude humor that the teen-movie genre demands, Get Over It is a nice little movie. - 38
Boston Globe
Comes off more like a series of painful cliches than a comedy or a love story. - 25
New York Post
A lame teen comedy.
