Get Over It! A teenager is devastated when his long time girlfriend casually dumps him and then immediately hooks up with some poser. Intent on winning her back he signs up for the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream - in which both his ex and her new beau are also involved - and starts taking acting lessons from his best friend's sister (Kirsten Dunst). You can probably work out the rest of the plot for yourself. Very slight early 2000s teen comedy, that's also very short (an hour and 20 with credits and some very long music sequences) but it's watchable enough. Martin Short adds some oldschool class and is very funny as the OTT narcissistic drama teacher with delusions of competence, and Kirsten is, as ever, very easy on the eye. I don't know whether I saw this back in the day - it's certainly the kind of thing I would have gone to see - but if I did I have zero memory of it. Which may say a lot. Still, it passed the time and I'd watch it again. Passable fluff.
