Falls Short of Its Potential
Get Over It is a high school flick that could have been so much better than it turned out to be. The cast is obviously talented, and the premise, while scarcely being new, could have worked. Berke has just been dumped by his girlfriend, and as he leaves her house, a hilarious musical number starts, slowly building behind him. After that, I expected great things from this movie, but it dragged on and on .... The Midsummer Night's Dream interludes were about the only thing that kept me awake. The ending -- which showed the performance of the musical remake of Shakespeare's classic -- was brilliant. I found myself wishing that the entire movie had been mostly a musical, and generally I'm not a big musical fan.

A Teen Comedy That's Actually Funny And Enjoyable.....
I went to go see this movie the day it opened which also happened to be my birthday. I was hoping to see a fairly good movie, something hopefully better than such recent dissapointments as Loser, Boys And Girls or Dude, Where's My Car?. I was actually suprised to find myself not only liking this movie, but laughing as though it were an adult comedy. This movie is one of the few recent teen comedies that have actually had heart and humor... Ben Foster plays Berke, a guy who is very in love with this girl Allison. Things are going great until Allison realizes that she is no longer in love with Berke and decides to dump him.. So to win back her heart he decides to join the school's production of A Midsummer's Night Dream even though he doesn't know alot about Shakespeare. Not wanting to look like a fool, he turns to his best friend's little sister Kelly, played by Kirsten Dunst, who is very into Shakespeare for help. And before you know it Kelly falls in love with Berke and Berke is too blinded to notice because of Allison... This all seems very generic, but its very talented and charming cast livens things up and turns what could have been another teen dud into a very funny, romantic and heart warming story. Kirsten Dunst is just as perfectly suited in this role as she was in last summer's smash hit Bring It On. Ben Foster looks like he will be a very talented young actor and he is very believable in this movie as the average teenage guy who doesn't look like Freddie Prinze Jr. or Ryan Phillippe. The rest of the cast is perfect. Everyone including Colin Hanks, Sisqo, Mila Kunis, Vitamin C, Shane West, Kylie Bax and even a brief cameo from Carmen Electra help keep this movie fun and refreshing. But the reason to go see this movie is to watch Martin Short who is so funny you might want to take an extra pair of underpants! He plays the the director of the school play who is very into his work and very into criticizing his assistant and his cast. There have been better movies, but as far as teen movies go, especially the newer ones, this is one of the best. And for those of you who used to be John Hughes freaks, like myself, you'll find that this movie is like taking a nostalgic look at some of the great classics... And I think this is a classic too.
