FILM 2001: NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE


FILM 2001: NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE

TRIVIA: Feature film debut of Chris Evans.

Eric Christian Olsen's character, Austin, is a combination of Lance Harbor in Varsity Blues(1999) & Dean Sampson in She's All That (1999). Both of those characters were portrayed by Paul Walker.

Chris Evans had trouble shooting his scenes with Mia Kirshner, particularly having to reject her pleas for sex as she was grinding on him, as he was apparently very turned on.

The filmmakers couldn't get the rights to use footage from She's All That (1999) so they shot the scene with two different people (on the library set) and made the TV blurry so you couldn't tell.

During the big football game near the end, when a bunch of players run off the field, the name on one of the players' shirts is EXTRA.

Buildings in the movie are named for makers of the movies that are being parodied. For example, John Hughes High School, "Anthony Michael Dining Hall" (Anthony Michael Hall), and "Harry Dean Stadium" (Harry Dean Stanton).

Good Charlotte is the house band at the prom.

In Russia, the film is entitled "Not a Children's Movie".

Chyler Leigh has admitted to being under the influence of cocaine throughout the majority of this movie.

Kyle Cease, who plays the "Slow Clap Guy" in this film, also starred as Bogie Lowenstein whose house was used for the flyer party in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999).

Actor Paul Gleason, the Principal in the detention scene, is the same actor who played the role of the Principal from The Breakfast Club (1985) which they're spoofing.

Lacey Chabert's character is a parody of the character played by Jennifer Love Hewitt in Can't Hardly Wait (1998). The two starred together in Party of Five (1994).
