OK, i picked this film to watch on a night in with the girls because it looked funny and it had Kirsten Dunst in it, and lets face it everyone loves her! But I have to say it has now become one of my favourite movies, its filled with funny dialogue, funky songs and jam packed with cool stars. I love Martin Short as the over dramatic Play director (being a drama student i have had directors very similar to him!)

The movie does constantly slip in and out of reality but the amazingly funny songs do hold it together and leave the the audience with the tunes stuck in there heads for days! With Vitamin C appearing in the opening sequence and the finale alongside Sisqo, it is hard not to fall in love with the music! I think it is clever that the movies narrative is based on Shakespeares "A midsummer nights dream" which is also the play that is performed in the finale of the movie. And Get over it could be used in schools to help desperate teenagers to understand the sometimes complex story lines of Shakespeares plays. Overall the movie fits the typical teen movie criteria, but at the same time it has some quirky gimmicks that are really funny. Its a perfect film to regain that feel good feeling after a rubbish day!

OK, I'l b honest me and my cousin only decided to watch this film because we think that Shane West is fit, but oh my god did we get a shock when we realised what a great movie it was! I cried for days when it finished and I am in love with Landon, and after i'd seen this film for the 6th time i decided to write myself out a life list! number 45, to get a review on IMDb, done! OK maybe I'm just easily influenced by films, but is that a crime? why should we have to sit through a 3 hour long cult indie movie just because its supposed to broaden our minds? surly we'd all prefer to watch a chucklsome movie, (with perhaps a little eye candy!) and walk away with a smile on our faces and an ambition to become whatever the lead character in this movie was! Believe it or not I am a film studies student and I would chose AWTR any day over any other less smiley film!
