Not Another Teen Movie

It wasn't as bad as I'd anticipated. Course, I was anticipating a horrendous waste of celluloid. The story starts off with our main character, Janey, watching scrambled She's All That, getting turned on, and, er, inserting her gigantic vibrator. Naturally, her dad, brother, priest, grandparents, and several orphans burst in and sing Happy Birthday while she tries desperately to hide it. Of course, it doesn't work, and she gets embarrassed. It's also the first day of school, and the younger brother, who dresses just like Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club is now a freshman at John Hughes High School.

Next, we meet the jock and his circle of friends, the cocky blond guy, the overwieght football player, and the token black guy (who's just supposed to say things like, "Damn, shit, and that is whack"). We learn very quickly that the jock is a jerk with a heart of gold. His ex-girlfriend, who happens to be leader of the cheerleading squad, just dumped him, and he needs a date for the prom. So, the blond guy bets him that he can't make the ugliest, leastpopular girl in school prom queen. The token black guy bets him that he'll lose the bet, but learn a much more important life lesson. Who does he pick? Not the albino, not the Siamese twins, but the beauty queen with the glasses, ponytail, and paint-covered overalls. Yep, it's Janey.

Meanwhile, there's an old newspaper reporter disguised as a student, a completely naked foreign exchange student, and a creepy guy with a plastic bag, who videotapes everything.

The whole thing plays out as you'd expect, but what made it worth it was the cameos by Mr T and Molly Ringwald.

Not a horrbile movie, but not great either.
