The producers of the film 'Not another teen movie' 
decided to use intertextuality in order to enhance the comedy aspect 
\of the movie, also the use of intertextuality makes the film relatable as it includes 
the same ideas and stereotypes that occur in these  popular teen movies.

definition of stereotypes: 
A stereotype is a widely held  but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of  particular type of person, thing or group.




This is a classic example of stereotype from the well-known British drama 'kidulthood'.



Here are some images which encapsulates some hilarious moments in the film:







Within plenty teen movies there are always stereotypes about different
 groups of students in 'high schools'. some of the main grow identified in these movies are the jocks, 
cheerleaders, geeks,the cocky students, mean girls etc. These cliques are what 
define students and their personalities in these films, in order to conform with 
their clique they adopt a certain attitude in order to represent their groups.

This is the Trailor of the film (MUST WATCH)
