Get Over It (2001) ft Rob Heath

"Bill Shakespeare was a wonderful poet. But Burt Bacharach he ain't." On this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE NOUGHTIES  (or 00s if you're into the whole brevity thing), Devon Elson is finally tackling the hoighty toighty bard himself, it's Shakespeare... but as a teen rom-com. It's Tommy O'Haver's 2001 irreverent play-within-a-play-within-a-movie Get Over It! His special guest this week is the Oberon to my Puck, it's Robert Heath! Co-host of BritCom Goes to the Movies, the podcast about British comedy shows making the transition from the small to big screen. Together they recognise the wealth of young acting talent with serious challenging actors like Ben Foster and Kirsten Dunst starring opposite Sisqo and Vitamin C, marvel at the big song and dance opening and closing sequences with said musician stars, and get down to a sweet romantic situation overshadowed by the studio's desperation to get in on that sweet American Pie success.
