Watch Get Over It For Free

Too much of everything

Sadly Over-hyped

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Get Over It (2001): Dir: Tommy O'Haver / Cast: Ben Foster, Kirsten Dunst, Melissa Sagemiller, Shane West, Martin Short: Opens with Ben Foster dumped by his girlfriend and the hilarity that follows as the song and dance that emerges behind him with dancer popping into frame. Title suggests carrying on with life after a crisis. Ben Foster tries to win back his girlfriend from a sleazy hunk so he joins the Shakespearian play of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Kirsten Dunst assists him. Director Tommy O'Haver does a fine job at combining reality with Shakespearian dream sequences. Despite its formula structure its climax is quite funny. Foster is hilarious as the love lost teenager bent on venturing into the realms of Shakespeare to prove himself but we know how this concludes. Fetching Dunst is well cast as his eventual love. She is his best friend's sister and she agrees to assist him with the play. Melissa Sagemiller plays Foster's ex-girlfriend who embarks upon the play but will see the error of her ways. Shane West steals scenes as the new boyfriend who will obviously cause division between Foster and Sagemiller but his climatic scene during the play is most amusing. Martin Short brings another level of hilarity as a drama teacher who struggles to pull this all together. Relating Shakespeare and modern romance allow for an intriguing comedy. Score: 8 / 10

Gee, I watched this movie after 7 years of it's release. I remember wanting to watch it when I had my huge crush on Kirsten Dunst but for whatever reasons I couldn't just rent it.The situations are funny and somehow entertaining with some bright editing and musical numbers. Kirsten Dunst demonstrates she's a really good actress and singer.The plot is the typical from any teenager film but it somewhat takes the direction to a comedy oriented for a younger audience. The comedy inserted in the movie is not scatological or sexual, so that makes it different from the movies of it's time.I would recommend it for those who enjoy teenager movies or for those like me who just wanted some cheap entertainment.

it thought the first half of this film was pretty good.instead of being your standard teen romantic comedy,it actually had some slapstick thrown in,some of which was quite amusing.to me,that was kinda different for this genre.at least it was something i hadn't seen before.not that that means anything.and the movie also had a bit of a musical bent to it,which i liked.sure,most of the movie is fairly predictable.but then most movies are,at least to a point.anyway,the movie moves along fairly well for the first 45 minutes or so.but then it gets really bogged down.you kinda know how things are gonna end up,but it seemed to take forever to get there.as a result,i just wanted it to finally end.for me,because of the slow(and to me,boring)second half, i can only give Get Over It a 5/10

This movie is infectiously brilliant. I saw it at a camp one summer, and then showed it to a friend when I got home. She immediately went out and bought it. It's a bucketful of laughs. The acting is incredible, the soundtrack catchy, and the script is a riot.Ben Foster just oozes adorable vulnerability, and, though he's not the most attractive guy, it's easy to see why first Allison and then Kelly fall for him. The story relies heavily on his emotions and the humor, and, in my opinion, that's really the way a story should be told.This movie keeps me in stitches and even though it's slightly predictable- hey, teen movie here, guys- it more than makes up for it.I love this movie so much that I've watched it more times than I've seen The Lion King. If you enjoyed 10 Things I Hate About You, Drive Me Crazy, or Clueless, you'll love this movie.
