Here is a review by Owen Gleiberman:

EW GRADE: D

Tommy O'Haver, the director of Get Over It, knows next to nothing about how to stage a conventional dramatic scene, but he does have one gift: He should immediately go out and make a lip synched pop musical. In his hands, it could be a triumph -- a Dennis Potter fantasia reborn as ecstatic cabaret.

O'Haver, whose first film was the 1998 gay indie minihit ''Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss,'' relishes the whooshing extravagance of top 40 camp that crests into ironic sincerity. In the opening credits sequence of ''Get Over It,'' Berke (Ben Foster), who has just been dumped by his girlfriend, skulks down a suburban street carrying the box of belongings she has just handed to him. As the camera rolls in front of him, in an unbroken shot, he's followed by the willowy pop singer Vitamin C, who mouths along to the Captain & Tennille's ''Love Will Keep Us Together,'' as well as by a shifting, prancing cornucopia of dancers -- a baton twirler, hulky carpenters -- who move in and out of the frame.
