* Squick: As Peter Wong, freshly after being injured, is carted away by paramedics, he cries out that Dr. Oates was HIS 'special friend', a student/teacher relationship that is unnerving in its own right, but made cringe-worthy still after the fact as the celebrity name that Oates drops in the same scene mere moments later is Kevin Spacey. Possibly unintentional, as Spacey's legal troubles came some 17 years after Get Over It was released.

Added DiffLines:

* CompositeCharacter:
** Berke as the protagonist is firstly the Lysander equivalent. Secondly he has some elements of Demetrius in that he spends a good portion of the story pursuing a girl who won't return his affections. Thirdly as the ButtMonkey who suffers a lot of pratfalls (and a terrible actor who ends up cast in the lead role) he is Bottom.
** The Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena equivalents star in the ShowWithinAShow (which being ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' itself instead of ''Pyramus & Thisbe'' has more characters) whereas in the source material they just watch it along with the other wedding guests.
** Dr Forest Oates is ostensibly Quince, the director of the wedding tableau (now a school play director). But he also has elements of Oberon in that he comically abuses people throughout the story.
** Felix is a combination of Puck (the mischievous meddler who causes the protagonists strain) and Egeus, as the obstructive family member preventing the OfficialCouple from being together.


Added DiffLines:

* DecompositeCharacter:
** Titania is represented by two characters; Dr Forest Oates's assistant Jessica is the one who gets repeatedly one-upped by him. Dora Lynn has her role as the one who makes a fool of herself and ends up in an embarrassing situation with a guy she doesn't know. Additionally the stripper played by Carmen Electra could count due to how she ends up dominating Berke for a bit.
** There are more than just five players here - although only Basin, Dennis and Peter are named and featured.


Added DiffLines:

* MythologyGag: Kelly's heartfelt performance of "Dream of Me" is possibly a reference to how some productions have Flute turn out to be a great actor and make Thisbe's final speech a good one.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Kelly is portrayed as a GirlNextDoor, filing off Helena's ClingyJealousGirl tendencies.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Allison when compared to Hermia. The latter is forced by her father to marry Demetrius. The former dumps Berke so she can date Striker.


Added DiffLines:

* CulturalTranslation: Demetrius in the play was a man of noble birth. Here his equivalent Striker was in a successful BoyBand. Hermia likewise was a rich heiress who now becomes the school's AlphaBitch. The wedding tableau of the play becomes a TotallyRadical school musical version of ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' itself with [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the characters cast in their corresponding roles]].

A 2001 teen comedy starring Creator/BenFoster and Creator/KirstenDunst. Like ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'' and ''Film/ShesTheMan'', it is a loose HighSchool adaptation of a Shakespearean play-- in this case, ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream''.

Berke Landers has been dating his high school sweetheart Allison for years-- until the day she dumps him for the [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent vaguely-British]] ex-boy band member Striker. Allison and Striker sign up for the upcoming school play, a musical adaptation of ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'', and in an attempt to win back his beloved, Berke does too. Unlike Allison and Striker, Berke has no acting, singing, or dancing talent, and so enlists the help of his best-friend's little sister, Kelly, to teach him the ways of drama. As his rivalry with Striker grows, Berke finds himself growing closer to Kelly... and to add to his troubles, one of the leads breaks his leg, landing Berke with a leading role!
