A Midsummer Night's High School


Boy Meets Girl, Boy Loses Girl, Boy Overlooks Better Girl...
You almost have to feel bad for the majority of the stars of "Get Over It ."
No matter how hard they work, how gr8 their comedic timing is or how well they've got their lines down, nearly every scene is stolen by the little black guy with the silver hair.
Sisqo's screen presense is so great that he draws attention doing little more than sitting off to the side staring at a pretty girl.
I admit, coming into this movie, I was a little weary of Sisqo's acting ability. After all, the brother can sing and dance, but that doesn't mean he can act.

Basically, the plot was that Ben Foster (Berke) had a girlfriend Melissa Sagemiller (Allison), who he had known since childhood.
One day, she just showed up in the cafeteria and they became boyfriend and girlfriend all over again.
When she dumps him one day, Berke becomes very upset.
When he finds out she tried out for the school Shakespeare play , he also tries out to win her back.
I'm not going to tell you whether he got her again or not.
During this time, Berke's best friend's sister, Kelly (Kirsten Dunst ) helps him out throughout the play.
She was in the play.

As time goes on, he realizes Kelly isn't just a little girl.
But will he choose her over Allison, or the other way around?
That is for you to find out when you see the movie.

My doubts were soon put to rest as Sisqo convincingly pulled off an insecure, shy, but likeable teen who has a hard time talking to girls (quite a departure from his persona as "The Dragon" )...
... Like Will Smith, Tupac, LL Cool J, and DMX, Sisqo has proven that hip-hop stars make the best actors.

The movie itself is quite amusing.
It's attempts to distance itself from traditional teen gross out comedies are not always successful , but it manages more oftem than not to rely on wit and comedic timing over the crude site gags that have plagued every teen comedy since "American Pie ."
The romantic plots are a bit predictable, but this film is admittedly based off of Shakespear's "A Midsummer Night's Dream " and makes no effort to hide that fact; instead, it uses the school's production of that play as a back drop for a majority of the story.

【Kirsten Dunst】 Get Over It 【Ben Foster】
Bill Shakespeare's Heartbreak Hotel California..

Did you ever just stumble into a film you don't know too much about and find it is much better than you expected ?
That's what I felt when I saw "Get Over It ", the latest high school romantic comedy.
This is an impressive sophomore effort from writer R. Lee Fleming Jr. (1999's "She's All That" ) and director Tommy O'Haver (1998's "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss" ).

Ah, guys are a great mystery to the female mind.
This movie does offer some hilarious insights to the teenage male mind.
He spends all of his time trying to woo back his ex-girlfriend.
Granted she dumped him and he hadn't done anything WRONG...

Let's see in the beginning, we get,"let's just be friends."
The classic breakup scene.
And from there the game has now begun.
We watch as he tries to regain her love.
She on the other hand has moved on to a high school girl's dreamboat kind of guy... Her boyfriend sings and agrees to try out for the school play with her...

So in an attempt to impress her and regain her , of course, our recently duped guy tries out for the school play, also.
Which brings on some real comedy scenes as you watch the trouble he seems to constantly get himself into.
His best friend's sister helps him study his part and they slowly become really good friends.
I have left out a majority about the plot in order to give you a chance to watch it for yourself.
Let me just say, he does get caught at a stripper club, he does have to actually sing in the school play, and his parents are officially crazy

If you like movies like Grease with a little Porky mixed in...this is the film for you.
Of course for the younger generation, this movie is a lot like "10 Things I Hate About You " with a touch of "American Pie " humor.
I think you will find there are some very hilarious moments in this comedy as the kids remake one of Shakespeare's works.
Although, I think their version was a lot more entertaining, they did seem to really chop it up

The movie's climatic ending, of course, is opening night of the play.
Dr. Forrest Oates wrote some fairly bad songs for this musical and came up with some predictably bad dance sequences.
Credit Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman for the entertaining songs and choreographer Jerry Evans for the funny (and believably high school bad ) dances.

So what happens?
Does true triumph?
Does the jerk get what's coming to him?
Does Felix get lucky?
I'll leave that up to you to find out.
If you can't guess it already.


All in all, it was an enjoyable bit of fluff, with a nice vocal bonus from Dunst.
Add in cameo roles from Ed Begley, Jr, Swoosie Kurtz (as Berke's permissive sex therapist parents ), Carmen Electra, Vitamin C, and Coolio, and you have a cast that has to appeal to just about everyone.
When you this on the shelf, don't write it off as just another inane teen comedy.
This film was a very pleasant surprise.
Well directed from a good script, with good performances from all involved.

A real fun outing to the theater.
I plan to see it again.
You should see it too.
Get Over It is worth watching.
