The most common stereotypes you find in a teen movie are:
- The jocks who are at the top of the school clique; geeks who are the most smartest people but the most socially awkward; uptight cheerleaders who think they are the bees knees; bullies who push everyone out of their way; the girl who is transformed from the loser to the princess; the prom kings and queen; the clowns who make a joke out of every situation …
(Jesse Metcalfe - 'John Tucker' in John Tucker Must Die)
- Everyone hanging out at school (typical High School); the diner; the school car park; the track field; the changing rooms; at home; in the bedroom, living room or kitchen; at house parties; at prom; in the toilet; street corners; the 'mall'…
(Emma Stone - 'Olive Penderghast' in Easy A) - Set in a typical American high school.
- The main themes of falling hopelessly in love; family conflicts; sports; summer flings; exploring sexuality;
(Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart - 'Edward Cullen and Bella Swan' in Twilight) Main theme is of a human falling in love with a vampire.
