When you’re actually a teenager, those movies can feel like they directly apply to your life.
When you’re older, it’s fun to rewatch them and relive the good old days.
In short, teen movies in general are for everyone, and they never really go out of style.
Just look at the success Netflix has had withTo All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.
But the 2000s were probably the best time for teen movies.
Even the bad 2000s teen movies weresobad they were good and seriously entertaining to watch.
“I thought this movie was a funny and a romantic chick flick,” one reviewer wrote onIMDb.
“Hilary Duff is one of my favorite actresses and she plays a perfect Sam in this movie.”
The Hilary Duff classic is beloved by many and for good reason.
How could you not?
They were adorable and funny, and they had a great film collection to their name.
Each movie they made fromPassport to ParistoHoliday in the Sun was cheesy, funny, and straight-up entertaining.
However, there was one Mary-Kate and Ashley movie that was a total flop.
That movie isNew York Minute.
Honestly, the movie is ridiculous, and the reviews prove it.
The comedy fromSaturday Night Live’sTina Feythat’s based on the bookQueen Bees and Wannabesis equal parts hilarious and smart.
Worst: How did the 2000s teen movie Aquamarine even get made?
PoorAquamarine.The film is really not that good at all.
Yes, a mermaid.
With a tail and everything.
Sure, the movie is entertaining, but at what cost?
OneBBCcritic wrote, “For supervising grownups, its giddy leanings will induce seasickness.”
It might not be worth your time, butAquamarinewas definitely aninterestingteen movie from the 2000s.
Because Jenna is still a 13-year-old, but she’s just stuck in a 30-year-old’s body.
The movie has romance, friendship, humor, and plenty of nostalgia.
Besides Jennifer Garner,13 Going on 30also has Mark Ruffalo and Judy Greer bringing their A-game.
There are plenty of fun moments in the movie, and it’s overall pretty heartwarming.
Truly,13 Going on 30is one of the best teen rom-comsever,and that’s a fact.
There is legitimately ascenein which Lola fantasizes that she’sMarilyn Monroe.
And he’s not wrong.
He makes a good point.
The movie is smart, funny, and totally iconic.
To be fair,Crossroadscould have been a great movie, and the karaokesceneis still iconic.
However, the 2002 movie has some pretty big issues.
WhileCrossroadsdoes have great moments of female friendship and empowerment, it’s also kind of depressing.
One reviewer wrote onUSA Today, “Oops, she’s really done it this time.
That chirpy songbird Britney Spears has popped up with more mindless drivel.”
Basically, it’s a flop.
Best: Saved!
The movie concentrates on high school senior Mary Cummings, whose boyfriend confesses to her that he’s gay.
Mary tries to convert her boyfriend by having sex with him, and she ends up pregnant.
Saved!is seriously brilliant in the way that it handles both religion and high school politics.
The cast is top-notch, withMandy Mooreand Macaulay Culkin giving some of their best performances.
There are Christian mean girls, a hypocritical pastor, and an unpredictable-yet-kind outcast.Saved!has it all.
The actress is hilarious in anything she’s in, and she’s great at character work.
Unfortunately, her 2003 movieWhat a Girl Wantswasn’t really deserving of Bynes' talent.
Unfortunately, the movie is just not interesting, and it’s full of ridiculous moments.
In short, it’s just plain bad.
Definitely check out this 2000s teen movie!
In fact, it’s almost boring.
Which is just what one review in theIndependentpointed out.
As talented as Roberts is,Wild Childisn’t her best work.
ButFreaky Fridayhas more than a great cast going for it.
The movie also has a great storyline that ends up teaching a pretty important lesson.
This version is much better, largely thanks to a sharper script and the performances of Curtis and Lohan.
One reviewer fromBBCnoted, “Everything bad about teen chick flicks is encapsulated inThe Perfect Man.”
There are plenty of great Hilary Duff movies to watch, butThe Perfect Manisn’t one of them.
