Teens are a popular area of research in media studies, Shary notes, but only three or four books have been written about teens in film—and only one of them was written in the last 10 years.
In his book, Shary examines films featuring characters ages 12 to 20 and covers what he calls the five fundamental subgenres of teen film: school, horror, science fiction, romance and sex, and delinquency.
In the end, Shary explains, the boys in the film display a sense of community when they finally admit to each other that they are lost when it comes to relationships with girls.

 DVD Review: Not Another Teen Movie
While there are some funny moments scattered throughout "Not Another Teen Movie", much of the film seems to either be satisfied to recycle the situation from a previous film with new actors or underline jokes too heavily (I half expected subtitles to pop up to remind viewers which films are being spoofed).
The film stars Chyler Leigh as Janey Brigs, an intelligent wallflower who, as the film reveals later in a very funny scene, would be prettier if she simply took her glasses off.
The film goofs upon the cliques that all high schools have - the only problem is that high school cliques have been parodied, discussed and joked-about for years (and years).

The effort on character for this film is so weak though that listening and laughing to the poorly copied dialogue from dozens of major teen movies is too much of a trial.

 Not Another Teen Movie movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
Many of the new films lacked the charm of the previous generation of films but they did continue the traditions of horny teens learning about life and love in settings and situations that were far more common in Hollywood than they ever would be in reality.
As the quality of the films dropped, it became harder and harder to tell them apart, as casts and titles were so generic that distinguishing between them was difficult for even the most devoted fans.
One of the biggest treats of the film is trying to discover what film they are spoofing before they move on to the next scene and spotting the number of cameos in the film.
