Get Over It

Get Over It follows in the wake of the late-nineties wave of youth films, most of which are of relatively high quality. This comedy is indeed both funny and inventive, but the script is rather thin.

When Berke is dumped by his girlfriend Allison, he first tries desperately to win her back, and so he has no eyes at all for another and at least as captivating maiden, namely his friend Felix's little sister Kelly, who is completely smitten with him. Imperceptibly, however, Berke's feelings for Kelly grow.

This teenage love drama is mirrored in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", which the high school is staging, and the film's protagonists naturally play the lead roles.

Kirsten Dunst is sweet as always, while the film's hero is a bit dull, and Martin Short is too over-the-top as the drama teacher.
