Get Over It may not have been a critical or commercial success when it was released in 2001, but thanks to a cast full of future stars, it has become a beloved cult classic for ’90s kids everywhere.
Very loosely based on William Shakespeare‘s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the rom-com centers on Berke Landers (Ben Foster), an incredibly average high schooler whose world is shattered when his girlfriend Allison (Melissa Sagemiller) dumps him. After she moves on with exchange student and former boy band star Striker (Shane West), Berke joins the school’s musical in an attempt to win her back. With the help of his best friends Felix (Colin Hanks) and Dennis (Sisquó) — and Felix’s younger sister, Kelly (Kirsten Dunst) — Berke does his best to get over the breakup and prove his love to Allison once and for all.
The film also stars Martin Short as Dr. Desmond Forrest Oates, a frustrated composer and songwriter who is desperate to get someone to appreciate his genius, and includes cameos from Vitamin C, Coolio and Carmen Electra.
