Columbia Pictures' "Not Another Teen Comedy" shows no mercy as it skewers the conventions and cliches of the genre you love to hate. "Not Another Teen Comedy" takes-on classic teen romance films such as "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club," going where no other teen romantic comedy has gone before. "Scream"-like in its blatant jabs at teen romances, "Not Another Teen Comedy" features characters including Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh), an aspiring outcast artist who wears glasses and sports paint-covered overalls along with a ponytail, and Jake Wyler (Chris Evans), the all-American football star who makes a foolish bet to turn Janey into the Prom Queen.
