12 Adorable Movies from the 2000s That Only Cool Kids Recall

      We all recall the blockbuster movies of the 2000s, classic Pixar films, and romantic comedies that continue to be aired today.

      However, here are some 2000s films that only the cool kids seem to remember. Let’s dive in.

      **Not Another Teen Movie (2001)**

      In this playful comedy-drama before he became Captain America, Chris Evans plays a high school football star who bets he can transform an awkward girl into prom queen.

      Directed by Joel Gallen, Not Another Teen Movie parodies the teen movie genre filled with clichés, including makeovers, late airport rescues, and fairy-tale romances.

      **Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)**

      Adapted from Ann Brashares' novel, this cherished teen film follows four best friends navigating tough times in their lives.

      Separated for the summer for the first time, they discover a magical pair of pants that fits them all perfectly. They decide to send the pants to each other throughout the summer for good luck.

      Featuring America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, and Blake Lively, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has stood the test of time as a comforting movie.

      **Josie and the Pussycats (2001)**

      Inspired by the Archie comics and the 1970 Hanna-Barbera cartoon, this live-action satirical musical comedy stars Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, and Rosario Dawson as a girl band called the Pussycats.

      Suddenly catapulted to fame, they get caught up in a sinister plot involving the U.S. government and the music industry, which aims to use subliminal messages in pop songs to persuade teenagers to purchase trendy items.

      Though lighthearted on the surface, it's also quite insightful.

      **Tuck Everlasting (2002)**

      Based on Natalie Babbit's cherished novel, Tuck Everlasting features Alexis Bledel as Winnie, a teenage girl who meets the Tuck family, who have gained immortality from drinking from a magical spring. Jonathan Jackson plays Jesse Tuck, Winnie’s love interest.

      Similar to Edward and Bella from Twilight, Jesse is 100 years older than Winnie yet appears her age.

      However, the allure of the fountain of youth attracts nefarious individuals wanting to profit from the water, forcing the Tucks to flee.

      **A Cinderella Story (2004)**

      In this romantic teenage drama, Hilary Duff plays Sam, a Valley girl working at a diner run by her cruel stepmother, portrayed by Jennifer Coolidge.

      Chad Michael Murray plays Austin, the popular football star dissatisfied with his father's plans for his future.

      Unbeknownst to each other, Sam and Austin are corresponding pen pals sharing aspirations of attending Princeton — until prom night changes everything.

      **Jennifer’s Body (2009)**

      In this cult horror-comedy—perhaps Megan Fox’s most iconic performance—Fox portrays high school student Jennifer, who becomes possessed by a demon.

      The demon compels Jennifer to kill and consume boys who mistakenly believe she's interested in them.

      Meanwhile, her friend, played by Amanda Seyfried, tries to halt her killing spree.

      **Thirteen (2003)**

      Evan Rachel Wood and Nikki Reed star in Thirteen, a drama directed and co-written by Catherine Hardwicke and Reed. Wood plays Tracy, a bright honors student struggling with her challenging home life, who turns to substance abuse under the influence of her new friend Evie, played by Reed.

      Tracy's mother, portrayed by Holly Hunter, attempts to save her daughter from a path of drugs and petty crime.

      **Accepted (2006)**

      In Accepted, Justin Long stars as Bartleby Gaines, a high school student rejected by every college he applies to. To convince his parents he’s continuing his education, he invents a fake college named South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.) — not anticipating that other kids would apply.

      With his friend Sherman Schrader, played by Jonah Hill, he begins running it like a real university.

      As Sherman Schrader would say: “I hope you guys have hobo stab insurance.”

      **Sydney White (2007)**

      While everyone knows Easy A and She’s the Man, only the cool kids remember Amanda Bynes’ movie Sydney White. In this romantic comedy, she portrays a college freshman hoping to join her late mother’s sorority.

      However, she quickly finds herself targeted and ostracized by the mean girls in charge.

      In retaliation, Sydney and six friends in similar social situations take over the student government to advocate for nerds' equal rights.

      **The Cheetah Girls (2003)**

      This was the inaugural Disney Channel Original Movie that also incorporated musical elements. In a sense, one could argue there’s no High School Musical without The Cheetah Girls.

      Starring Raven-Symoné as Galleria “Bubbles” Garibaldi (the pink one), Adrienne Bailon
