All teen movies are fair game except for John Hughes classics like The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles--they're sacrosanct. "We don't make fun of those," says Jaime Pressly, sporting a new razor cut at the film's recent premiere in Westwood. "But the ones in the last six years? Yes." In Teen Movie, Pressly plays Priscilla, head Bitchy Cheerleader at--wait for it--John Hughes High, like that one in that other teen movie. You know, the one with the bitchy cheerleaders and the evil jock football players? She says she doesn't take her seven-year-old sister to see movies like that "where the popular people are the ones you're supposed to hang out with, and the dorks don't go near them." She adds, "That's why we made this film, so they can stop all the B.S. stereotypes. The writing, the way it's going for my generation, is awful. This was clever because it's made of all the stuff that wasn't clever."
