I'm over it

Not that I went into this silly teen movie expecting much, but 'Get Over It' turned out to be stupider than I thought and (unlike a handful of other teen flicks of its time) not even stupid in an entertaining way. Actually, I fell asleep before the ending; I didn't bother going back later to see what I missed of 'Get Over It', because I didn't care.

I won't even bother writing about the "plot" (something about kids putting on a Shakespeare play, and teen romance. Oh, and Martin Short appears as the director of the Shakespeare production; he's as irritating as ever.)

The only reason I'm granting the movie an extra half-star is because I once interviewed its director (Tommy O'Haver, who fared much better with his later film 'An American Crime' -- which, other than involving teenagers, is about as different from this one as you can get) and because the Wondermints' song "Arnaldo Said" randomly played during some basketball scene, which made me snicker.
