To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018)
Directed by Susan Johnson
influenced by Not Another Teen Movie (2001)
Plot
Movies like She's All That , 10 Things I Hate About You , and Can't Hardly Wait were so ubiquitous that a parody of the genre titled Not Another Teen Movie starring Chris Evans was actually released in 2001.
Produced by Awesomeness Films and Overbrook Entertainment, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before stars Lara Jean (played by breakout star actress Lana Condor) as our head-in-the-clouds teen girl protagonist of Junior year, and at first blush this film feels like any – or every – teen movie with the invisible girl who became beautiful after removing her ponytail, glasses, and paint-covered overalls (remember Not Another Teen Movie , anyone?).
By 2001, Joel Gallen made a parody of teen movies, Not Another Teen Movie, set at John Hughes High School, because high school in teen movies had seemingly become the place where every outcast could rise up, reveal their true selves and find love and happiness by the final reel.
The Edge of Seventeen (2016)
Directed by Kelly Fremon Craig
influenced by Not Another Teen Movie (2001)
In 2001, exasperation with a certain film genre reached such heights as to produce a work called, literally, Not Another Teen Movie .
Genre enthusiasts will probably enjoy a catfight between 'good girl'Shane and Henry's goth-punk moll China (Jaime Pressly, "Not Another Teen Movie") where the two practically joust on bikes (shades of Romero's 1981 "Knightriders").
She's All That (1999)
Directed by Robert Iscove
influenced Not Another Teen Movie (2001)
Characters Plot
Its acknowledgment and exaggeration of teen movie staples is reasonably clever, with a plot revolving around Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh), a hybrid of such characters as Molly Ringwald ’s Pretty In Pink and Sixteen Candles, Julia Stiles ’ in 10 Things I Hate About You and Rachael Leigh Cook ’s in She’s All That.
For an adult, seeing a parody of "She's All That," the 1999 Rachael Leigh Cook/Freddie Prinze romance…
To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020)
Directed by Michael Fimognari
influenced by Not Another Teen Movie (2001)
Plot
After a delightful start, that touches upon Lara Jean's Korean heritage, the way the film then plays with the tropes of the teen comedy threatens to take it into Not Another Teen Movie territory.
Elsie Fisher plays Kayla, an eighth-grader on the cusp of graduation being raised by her single father, Mark (Josh Hamilton), another in a long line of well-meaning single dads raising girls in teen movies, from Pretty In Pink to Not Another Teen Movie .
At a rave, popular Steve Montgomery (Michael B. Jordan)—a friend of Matt's also serving the part succinctly dubbed "token black guy" in Not Another Teen Movie—asks Andrew to take his camera and join them underground, where a barely-seen crystal glowing thing gives them bleeding noses and telekinesis.
