Not Another Teen Movie/American Pie DVD

This box set features the following films: Not Another Teen Movie (Dir. Joel Gallen) (2001): In his directorial debut Joel Gallen spoofs the ever-popular teen genre - now in its extended form! The students of John Hughes High School live the plot lines of numerous teen flicks including: She's All That American Pie Ten Things I Hate About You and Sixteen Candles to name just a few. The most popular boy Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) has bet his friends that he can make Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh) - the poor smart girl from the wrong side of the tracks - prom queen. Meanwhile... her little brother is in pursuit of the most beautiful girl he's ever seen when he's not getting into trouble with his geeky friends. Of course a teen movie wouldn't be complete without a mean-spirited cheerleading captain a lovestruck best friend and a foreign exchange student all of whom have prominent roles in the film. Throw in a few guest appearances from familiar faces from some of the best-known teen movies of the 1980s along with remakes of songs from the same films - and even some word-for-word dialogue - and you have an amusing walk down memory lane for anyone who has a soft spot for the films of Hughes Crowe and the rest. American Movie (Dir. Paul Weitz) (1999): You'll never look at warm apple pie the same way again! American Pie takes a hysterical look at the goal of four unlucky in love high school friends who make the ultimate pact: lose their virginity by prom night. As they try to manipulate their way into the hearts of some of their classmates their plans often backfire with hilarity. One fails to score with the sexy foreign exchange student and then makes a last ditch effort with a band member who has an interesting way with her flute while another is so desperate he actually hires someone to give him a reputation.
