You won't be disappointed!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Get Over It is a 2001 movie starring Ben Foster,Spiderman's Kristen Dunst,A Walk To Remember's Shane West and Avatar star Zoe Saldana and tells the tale of a young man named Berke(Foster)who's childhood sweetheart wants to call it quits. He of course is heartbroken over it and like what the title says he just has to get over it. But when he finds out that there is a school play going on he decides to audition for it as he found out that his former flame is now going out with a Backstreet Boy clone singer called Skitter(played by Shane West sporting a rather unusual British accent that sometimes sounds like an Aussie accent from time to time)whom Berke met earlier on in the film. But things get even more complicated for Berke when we asks his Best Friend's(Colin Hanks the son of Tom Hanks)sister Kelly(played by Kristen Dunst) and later sorta falls for her as she is helping Berke with his lines. But when his former flame later wants to get back together with him,who must he choose?Bottom line this movie is no masterpiece or the best film ever made,but there are some scenes that will have you laughing so hard like Kelly's dog humping a ball,or an accident prone who ruins a dinner date that she was in with Berke. Check it out and see what you can make out of it.Also keep an eye out for Sisqo(a former singer from the early 00s) as Ben Foster's other friend. 6 out of 10.

This is one of those highly overlooked gems. I'd read some negative comments about Martin Short's performance, but found his contribution to be outstanding. His comic genius was on show repeatedly. As with most Hollywood movies, they never get it quite right, and there are always lines or gestures that should have been left out, especially as they only bring the film down. That said, there is more than enough in this movie to bring me back for another viewing. It may be perceived as a teen flick, but it has far more to offer than that title suggests. There are many outstanding performances, and the opening song and dance is creativity at it's most entertaining level. The song list for this film is also incredibly interesting. It's a great score, and Dunst performs a show stopper. I just wish that we'd heard more of her earlier song. If you like seeing Martin Short in an over the top and very funny role, accompanied by some great musical numbers then this is a must see. The Peter Wong role and performance really tickled me. Great fun!

I caught this on TV again last night and I was reminded of just how much fun it was to watch this movie. In the age where teen slapstick comedies are a pound for a dozen, Hollywood occasionally manages to get it just right and produce something with heart, like this one. The story is loosely based around The Bard's perhaps most popular comedy in that it also utilises a love square.Sure, the film is never going to win an Academy Award any time soon, but really, that's not what you're watching this film for, is it? It's light and fluffy, perfect for a night in with some friends and you can all get some laughs out of it. The casting was perfect; right down to Shane West's laughably abysmal accent. Ben Foster is definitely nerdy enough to play the "hapless loser" or so Berke calls himself, and you can't help but feel sorry for him as he tries so hard at every turn to win back his ex-girlfriend in vain. But sometimes you just want to scream at him for not seeing what's right in front of him: Kelly, played by the gorgeous Kirsten Dunst, the quintessential girl next door. However, the star of the show here is actually Martin Short, who manages to steal every scene he's in as a maniacal, completely OTT drama director. His lines are pure gold and he manages to accompany that with a crazed performance – "Pluck! You've got to PLUCK it!" What sets this film apart from all the rest is that it's a musical that works. The actual production at the end was fantastic, had some great energetic, toe-tapping numbers and O'Haver did a marvellous job directing it. This is exactly what High School Musical tried to be and failed. It's a shame that some of the production songs aren't on the OST because if carried out in full, I think they're good enough to fit onto an album in their own right. I know I would love to watch the final production in its entirety. Kirsten Dunst really surprised me with how good of a singer she is.So watch it, laugh out loud, and don't take it too seriously. It sure didn't.

In the section for technical goofs under the heading continuity. the say that when Berke, Felix and Dennis are walking down the street before going into the music store that they walk by the same law office twice. this is not true actually they just walk by the second set of windows. you can tell because when they walk by the first time the doors are on the right side of the window and the second time the doors is on the left. in fact you can ever the part of the first window in the scene. i know IMDb is pretty good with getting accurate information so i figured this was worth a mention.as for the movie it's self i agree with the review. it really is just a fun and very entertaining movie to watch
