San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
Breaks the formula for teen romances. Martin Short, as the vain and zany drama teacher, does not disappoint. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJami Bernard
A charmer with an attractive cast and an excellent soundtrack. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
A delightful and exuberant bit of romantic comedy and, as a bonus, it breathes new life into a pair of '70s musical chestnuts long off our culture's radar screens.

The New York TimesDana Stevens
Mild, harmless and occasionally affecting, possessing the fizz of diet soda and the sweet snap of slightly stale bubble gum. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
A blithe-spirited comedy in which teenagers discover their romantic vicissitudes mirrored in their high school production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It's being directed by their nasty drama teacher (Martin Short, hilarious), who has written 12 original songs for the production. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley Jones
Ao relentlessly, gleefully dumb -- without being the slightest bit sardonic -- that you just can't help but guffaw … or groan … but probably both. Read full review

The surprising part is how, once you get over the crude humor that the teen-movie genre demands, Get Over It is a nice little movie. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Anonymously titled and packaged like a vulgar teen sex comedy, this candy-colored trifle is so precious it nearly floats away on a cloud of fairy dust. Read full review

VarietyEddie Cockrell
A mildly diverting, largely inoffensive teen laffer that's long on cartoonish high school hijinks but short on dramatic concentration and crucial story details. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizKevin Maynard
Deserves to be applauded for not casting Freddie Prinze Jr., but this sloppy, somnolent, strung-together flick pales when compared to such other teenage riffs on classic literature as "Clueless" and "10 Things I Hate About You."

Boston GlobeChristopher Muther
Comes off more like a series of painful cliches than a comedy or a love story.

New York PostLou Lumenick
A lame teen comedy.

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
The only performer I enjoyed watching was Martin Short, who plays a bitch dandy music teacher with a smile so fake that the comedian seems to be acting with his gums. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyErnest Hardy
A lobotomized updating of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Read full review
