Teen movies are awesome. Where else can we see the nerdy girl wind up with the hot school president, the arrogant jerk accidentally fall in love with the girl he's been lying to, or the underdog beat up the school jock and then attain top dog status? We love teen movies because they make us laugh and cry, but what are these movies really teaching us about life? How to Fight, Lie, and Cry Your Way to Popularity (and a Prom Date) points out the unrealistic, yet hilarious lessons you can learn from big-screen blockbusters. Inside You'll Find: * Fun-to-read film synopses of 50 teen movies * Photos, comical quizzes, and memorable lines * Laugh-out-loud lousy life lessons * How does a slutty makeover lead to happiness? * And how can stalking a crush truly win her heart? Once you read this book, you'll have all the answers. Of course, you probably won't want to follow the advice the films dish out, but you'll have a lot of fun reading about theme.
Generation Multiplex

Generation Multiplex (2002) was the first comprehensive study of the representation of teenagers in American cinema since David Considine's Cinema of Adolescence in 1985. This updated and expanded edition reaffirms the idea that films about youth constitute a legitimate genre worthy of study on its own terms. Identifying four distinct subgenres—school, delinquency, horror, and romance—Timothy Shary explores hundreds of representative films while offering in-depth discussion of movies that constitute key moments in the genre, including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Breakfast Club, Say Anything . . . , Boyz N the Hood, Scream, American Pie, Napoleon Dynamite, Superbad, The Twilight Saga, and The Hunger Games. Analyzing developments in teen films since 2002, Shary covers such topics as the increasing availability of movies on demand, which has given teens greater access to both popular and lesser-seen films; the recent dominance of supernatural and fantasy films as a category within the genre; and how the ongoing commodification of teen images in media affects real-life issues such as school bullying, athletic development, sexual identity, and teenage pregnancy.
