Description

Kirsten Dunst (BRING IT ON), Sisqo, and Ben Foster (TV's FREAKS AND GEEKS) shine in this hilariously hip comedy! After Berke (Foster) gets dumped by Allison, the hottest girl in school, he'll do anything to get her back! Against the advice of his buddies Dennis (Sisqo) and Felix (Colin Hanks -- THAT THING YOU DO!), Berke desperately follows Allison into the high school play! But when he's inept onstage, Berke gets bailed out by his friend's little sister (Dunst) ... who just might be the one to help him get over Allison! Also featuring Martin Short (FATHER OF THE BRIDE) and Shane West (DRACULA 2000) -- nothing goes as planned in this entertaining treat!

Fun teen movie.......2007-05-10

I didn't have great expectations for this movie. I figured it would be just another teen movie. However, "Get Over It" totally went above and beyond my expectations.

Kirsten Dunst is gorgeous as Kelly, the true talent in the play. Shane West plays the villian incredibly well, and although you love him, you really want him to lose in the end. Martin Short is hilarious and a laugh a minute, and the supporting cast all do a very good job of keeping you entertained. Ben Foster does a great job as the slacker trying to win his girlfriend back.

I truly would love to see a live showing of "A Midsummer Night's Rocking Eve" if ever available. From the random songs to the entertaining dances put together by Dr. Desmond Forrest Oakes, I'm sure it would prove to be a very entertaining night.

Watch this movie, and then watch it again. It is funnier each time you watch it.

A Decent Teen Movie.......2007-04-08

Get Over It is a cute, yet fairly predictable, teen movie. The good cast helps make it different from the other teen movies. What it lacked in plot originality, it make up for in the look and feel of the movie. I think it would have been a better movie if had been from Kirsten Dunst's (who shined brighter than any of the others) point of view,, instead of Ben Foster's, who is good in his role too. Still, if you are looking for a cute, fun, mindless movie to watch, this is a good one to pick. If only to see the costumes, set, the performance of Kirsten Dunst (and her singing!) and Vitamin C at the end. 3.75/5 stars

Get Over It.......2005-07-20

It is ok for preteens it is a musical, funny. I would recommend it.

Oddly charming.......2005-07-12

While there are moments where this film gets bogged down in the traditional teen comedy pitfalls- gross-out humor and over-the-top sexual antics - it really is very clever and funny. Martin Short's name-dropping, weirdo drama coach reminds me of waaay too many people I knew in college. Shane West's take on an accent-faking recovering boy band member is hilarious. And, Lord help me, I even liked some of the musical numbers. Some of them.
I don't know if I'd let my tweenage daughter watch it, but it's certainly safer than "American Pie" or "Scary Movie."

A hilarious teen comedy.......2005-05-09

I'm not a big fan of teen comedies, because they usually tend to be the same. So what made me buy GET OVER IT! without even seeing it? I have no idea. But I'm really glad that I did, and I fell in love with the movie after watching it for the first time.

GET OVER IT! is a great mix of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and a fun story about a group of friends (much like "10 Things I Hate About You"). Berke's girlfriend Allison just broke up with him, and he's determined to get her back, especially when she starts dating the new guy in school. Berke thinks that he'll win her over if he decides to be in the school musical, A Midsummer's Rockin' Eve. Of course, the movie also has parties, gross-out jokes, practically naked women, and lots of sex talk, but somehow, it ends up being hysterical.

Highlights of GET OVER IT! are definately the opening credits, with Vitamin C "performing" the song 'Love Will Keep Us Together;' Martin Short, who is absolutely hysterical as Dr. Desmond Forrest Oates, the drama teacher; the Martin Short outtakes, which show how he improvised almost all of his lines; and the music videos/musical performances. Highly recommended to fans of "10 Things I Hate About You" or "American Pie."

although in the french language and engish subtitles, this is an excellant movie for the young gay man. a movie for those of you who still have a questionable "faghag", non-homophobic friends and as with all families in the world, a not so perfect family. loved this movie.

Pretty Basic........2007-03-28

Although the movie was pretty basic it was still a good movie. Coming out was the only topic throughout the entire movie, it didn't include sub-plots like other gay movies it was just one story and that might have bored the movie down. Overall, I figured the movie to be lacking the intensity that other gay coming out stories involve but this one was just bleh. Everything was presented as if the main actor lived in Disneyland- he was outed, everyone believed the rumor, his parents found out, his girlfriend accepted and they all went about their life as if noting happened. He was accepted by his parents, his girlfriend still loved him, his best male friend still wanted to be his pal (which was a good point) the coach still treated him the same it was as if this story could be taking place in 2100 when being gay is just like global warming- everyone will eventually forget it's a problem and accept it. In the end all the stories concluded themselves, no one got shot, no one died and no one got hurt pretty good feel good movie if you want to come out and need some help.

Not easy.......2007-01-23

Not easy to assume oneself when issued from french working class. Simple story involving teammates, brotherhood, and the various reaction dictated by revanche, jalousy, envy?

"YOU'LL GET OVER IT"

Getting By

Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride

Today's wide gay audience has become more demanding and want to see movies that deal with important issues such as coming out. We are also dealing with issues like gay identity at younger ages. Coming out stories used to de4al with guys in their 30s but now we have stories of high school teenagers dealing with coming out issues. They once worried about puberty and acne and per acceptance. Now they seem to worry about tricks and sex. "You'll Get Over It" (Picture This Entertainment) is a French film that deals with the issue. It is not as literate as other gay coming out stories but it is an attempt to look at the younger gays and the problems they have.
Julian is a star of his school's swimming team and he has arranged hi life very nicely. In public he dates a lovely girl and in private he meets with the older Bruno. However his almost ideal situation begins to change when a new kid, Benjamin, sees right through what he is doing, They are immediately attracted to each others and when others see this rumors start to fly. While fighting, Benjamin accidentally outs Vincent and the damage quickly follows. Everyone seems to turn on Vincent and in just a few hours he becomes a social outcast.
This is the incident that causes Vincent to look for his own self-acceptance and a larger community. His quest for individuality and identity begins drastically in a gay bar and his sociological issues become more and more intense. It is here that the film becomes hard to watch as all of us have experience the same feelings. Therefore it is safe to say that there is nothing new in "You'll Get Over It" but I don't see a problem in watching what so many of us have been through. I do not think that originality necessarily means superiority. It is important for us to relive individual truths so as to make it easier to instruct others about the dangers involved. We do know one thing--in most cases we'll eventually get over it.
