    pleasant comedy, some laugh-out-loud moments

    In the new tradition of taking a classic work and casting it as a high school romance (I guess this tradition began with "Clueless", which is still the best of the bunch), "A Midsummer Night's Dream" gets turned into "Get Over It", but as a nice (if occasionally heavy-handed) twist, the movie revolves around a high school production of that play. The really funny moments are provided by Martin Short as the nut-case head of the theatre department, and Ed Begley, Jr. and Swoosie Kurtz as the nut-case sex-therapist parents of the male lead. (There is also some nice slapstick involving a hapless exchange student and some unusually humiliating accidents involving the male lead.)

    The leads, Dunst and Foster, are solid. I've always liked Foster, and he is quite good here, and Dunst has a surprisingly nice voice (unless she was dubbed, but I think that it was her voice). Anyway, it's pleasant, occasionally inventive within the rigid confines of the genre, and has a few big laughs in it.

    Oh-No another US Teen movie.. hang on it's GREAT!

    I was bored, Its Sunday, and there is nothing on a out local Cinema (a rather run down dump).. oh hang on.. 'GET OVER IT'.. didn't I see that advertised on the side of a bus shelter? Another teen flick, slumber parties, perfect women, smart ass teenage lads.. Well at least its warm.. lets go and pass an hour or so.. So in I went...

    I damned near laughed myself SICK!

    Join Berke in his attempts to regain the love of his Childhood Girlfriend (Alison - played by Melissa Sagemeier) by joining the school drama production.. however he is thwarted by the Super Smooth Straker.. but its not easy as Straker can sing, dance, play the piano, and was a member of a boy band.. Berke is Helped and Hindered by his friends along the way leading to some hilarious scenes.

    However, Berke is so blinded by his love of Alison, he completely misses Kelly's (Kirsten Dunst) attempts to gain his affections.

    However Best-over-acting-and-getting-away-with-it award goes to Martyn Short, who steals the show as the manic producer of the school Drama based on Midsummer Night's Dream.

    As the film progresses, so does the humour.. cumulating in a production-within-a-film of the Schools play. Brilliant songs and musical score, however I challenge anyone not to be enraptured by Kirsten Dunst when she sings 'Dream of You' SIGHHHHH!!

    Give this film a try, it does not use Semi-Nude girls to sell the film (there is one short swimming pool scene which is Most Pleasant (DROOL), but thats about it.

    8/10.. Funniest film I have seen this year

    "What is that?" "That's...applause sir."

    Great watch, will watch again, and can recommend.

    I'm extremely biased as I've watched this repeatedly: I really like modern, palatable adaptations of Shakespeare (which we seemed to quit after this), this even got me over not liking Kirsten Dunst.

    I get it if you think this movie is dated, hell it has Vitamin C and Sisqo in it, and it is full of tropey stuff, but when this was made, that was relatively newer stuff, and some of the things that people make fun of in later rom coms stems from this movie and its late 1990's early 2000's family.

    Music / singing in movies is fun, it's not always great, but it's usually fun (see Trolls: most people have fun, it doesn't "help" the story though), and setting a complex teen rom com at a high school level makes the music an easy palatable distraction.

    And this movie has a great cast, they clearly had fun making it: Martin Short of all people, even in 2001, Mila Kunis, Ben Foster, Colin Hanks, Zoe Saldana, Shane West, and even Carmen Electra makes an (uneccessary) cameo.

    While I'll admit the story is a little rudimentary, extended from Mid Summer Night's dream, and relying on stock characters to basically do what stock characters stereotypically do, there is just a lot of charm in this. For me, it's about demonstrating the relationships between the characters to make the world feel real.

    An Iconic 2000s Teen Movie

    If you're looking for an entertaining teen movie to watch where you can turn your brain off but still be engaged, Get Over It is for you.

    The acting is great (some performances are intentionally over the top but it adds to the comedy). The script is well paced with some hilarious sequences. The story blends Shakespeare and high school hijinks to great effect.

    They really don't make teen movies like this anymore and that's sad.

    A Very Satisfying Teen Musical Comedy

    This might not be the familiar name to the people but after watching it I got to say – it is one of the very few really good teen movies existed. No matter how many times I watch it is still very lively and watch able.

    Story: A boy was crush when the loves of his life dump him. Desperate, he tried every trick to get her back, that also include joining the school theatre for A Midsummer Night Dream when everything when out of plan.

    The casting is awesome, though the acting is no award material. The songs are also good, the story is alright – a new version of A Midsummer … though some of the stuff are pure nonsense and senseless.

    Overall, the movie is very enjoyable musical movie, and there is no another teen musical movie so make this one of a kind. It is also very lively, kind of pervert, and some of the stuff could actually make you laugh.

    Recommendation: Yes, Check It Out.

    Rating: 7/10 (Grade: C+)

    • Trivia
      Kirsten Dunst makes her singing debut with "Dream of Me", which is also included on the film soundtrack.
    • Goofs
      In the bench kissing scene, the editors decided to digitally remove the beer bottle from Kelly's hand. They didn't replace it with anything so it looks like she has a deformed claw for a hand when she walks to the bench and sits down. Later in the scene, the bottle is off to her left where there was no bottle before.

    • Crazy credits
      No animals were harmed in the making of this film. However, we did manage to sprain two ankles, break one wrist, squirt one extra in the eye with chili and drive our UPM into insanity.
    • Alternate versions
      The original version was rated R and contained more sexual dialouge with Mistress Moira, and a more explicit view of the strip club. It was cut in order to gain the teen audience the film was aimed for.
