lisafordeay Get Over It is a 2001 movie starring Ben Foster,Spiderman's Kristen Dunst,A Walk To Remember's Shane West and Avatar star Zoe Saldana and tells the tale of a young man named Berke(Foster)who's childhood sweetheart wants to call it quits. He of course is heartbroken over it and like what the title says he just has to get over it. But when he finds out that there is a school play going on he decides to audition for it as he found out that his former flame is now going out with a Backstreet Boy clone singer called Skitter(played by Shane West sporting a rather unusual British accent that sometimes sounds like an Aussie accent from time to time)whom Berke met earlier on in the film. But things get even more complicated for Berke when we asks his Best Friend's(Colin Hanks the son of Tom Hanks)sister Kelly(played by Kristen Dunst) and later sorta falls for her as she is helping Berke with his lines. But when his former flame later wants to get back together with him,who must he choose?Bottom line this movie is no masterpiece or the best film ever made,but there are some scenes that will have you laughing so hard like Kelly's dog humping a ball,or an accident prone who ruins a dinner date that she was in with Berke. Check it out and see what you can make out of it.Also keep an eye out for Sisqo(a former singer from the early 00s) as Ben Foster's other friend. 6 out of 10.

Computer_Stud And yet we have another movie where a boy loves girl, girl loves boy back, girl gets bored with boy, boy gets dumped, girl finds another guy, and boy tries to win back the heart of girl until boy later falls for another girl in the process. This formula in teen movies has been played over and over again, so why waste your time watching another one? What makes this movie different from others of this genre are the actors and seeing them perform roles that they have never done before and somehow pulling it off. First, we have Ben Foster, a name that immediately makes you think of all the socially awkward rejects and enraged psychos that he has played during his short career. Here, he gets to play a different role as the clueless basketball jock Berke Landers, who is desperately trying to win back his sexy ex-girlfriend Allison McAllister by entering into the school theatre production that she has chosen to take part in. Although a skeptical casting choice, Foster pulls off the role with the right amount of finesse, making Berke cool enough to see why a stunning beauty like Allison would fall for him while at the same time making him not so cool so we understand why Allison might have gotten bored with him (something teen idol Freddie Prinze, Jr. would have a hard time doing). With his right combination of average good looks, low-key charisma, and competitive attitude, Foster ultimately convinced me as the lovestruck teen protagonist.Another against type performance is given by Kirsten Dunst. She plays Kelly Woods, the younger sister of Berke's best friend Felix, who is desperately trying to get the attention of Berke, who is too busy trying to woo his ex. Usually playing the sought-after, popular teen queen, Kirsten Dunst is now the under-appreciated, unnoticed girl, despite her everpresent attractiveness both on the outside and inside. Dunst gets to downplay her engaging screen presence in order to allow love object Foster to be the focus of the film and does so successfully.In addition to the two leads, we have Colin Hanks, whose nerdy and studious characters in Roswell and Orange County are forgotten by his performance here as party animal and fellow jock Felix Woods, who is both helping Berke forget about Allison and keeping other guys from hitting on his kid sister. Hanks provides a lot of the comedy, channeling some of his father's zany comedic appeal from the early part of his career in the 1980s.Meanwhile, we have Shane West and Sisqo playing away from their usual entertainment personas. Niceguy Shane West of Once and Again and Whatever It Takes plays the teen villain as Bentley "Striker" Scrumfeld, the British heartthrob and school's new theatre buff who "dazzles his way" into Allison's fancies. Singer Sisqo, who is known for his sexually-charged dance performances and seductive R&B lyrical vocals, plays the timid Dennis Wallace, another friend of Berke and basketball star trying to muster up the courage to ask out Kelly's friend Basin, played surprisingly sweet by Mila Kunis, an actress known for playing less friendly characters on screen. Added to the mix are Berke's hilariously liberal parents, played with comic delight by serious, dramatic actors Ed Begley, Jr. and Swoosie Kurtz.The only other main character not cast against type is Dr. Desmond Forrest Oates, the egocentric drama coach trying to keep the play from being a total disaster. Dr. Oates is played unsurprisingly over-the-top by Martin Short, but unlike in most of his comedies, I found Short to be quite funny here.Don't expect anything new or surprising in the storyline and don't expect the jokes to be too original, but do expect to be surprised by the actors playing the roles and enjoy their performances. If you follow this formula, you are in for a quite a treat.

thekarmicnomad I have rated this film high considering it is a run of the mill teenage flick. But I have reasons.The plot is fairly predictable and the characters two dimensional and there are no special effects or nudity or violence or anything truly note worthy at all. This is one of the two reasons I love this film. It doesn't try too hard to connect with some bizarre demographic of American youth or try to be overly funny or pound you relentlessly with some obscure social issue for you to add to the list of things you should feel guilty about. It is what Hollywood does best, a good old fashioned shallow love story where rich middle class teenagers follow their hearts in a squeaky clean high school that only exist in the movies. As an English horror/sc-fi/war movie fan it is great to switch off now and then to visit a place where jocks learn to respect nerds, extra curriculum activities are viewed as cool, and everyone has such wonderful teeth. A place where the biggest danger to your life is not being asked to the prom. I wish could have gone there. Also the opening sequence is one of the best crafted pieces of film that exist. Yes it is right up their with Apocalypse Now and the Cross of Iron! Not as dramatic but perfect, from the look on the boys face to the deliciously ironic sound track to the plethora of insanely happy-in-love people filling the back ground.Performances are what you would expect from this cast of seasoned pro's. Sound track is great (look out for love-scud)and the film has that lovely Hollywood glossy production to it.For a great little, bloodshed free, feel-good, keep-the-misus-happy film you cannot go far wrong from spending a fiver on this.

Shaolin_Apu This is not a very good film. There has clearly been an intention to create a comedy, but you don't really often get to see a comedy where jokes ruin the whole pleasure. If those poor ones had been left straight out, the viewers had been released from many miseries. Does it belong to the plot to make spectators really feel like the poor guy who loses his life-time girlfriend? If that was intended, why "jokes"? If this had been tragedy, a much better item it had been! Beautiful Kirsten Dunst does it at least worth something for she does not disappoint in acting part either. With this flower your can forgive much unpleasant moments and maybe even accustomize into the situation to enjoy the shallow Shakespeare element that however does not save from the complete disaster either.
