This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Very nice playful film that is not all rah rah and moralistic. Our heroïne was actually better looking with the glasses. Beside, it's ridiculous to remove the glasses to someone that needs them. Same with eyebrow plucking. That was not a makeover, but a makeunder. Otherwise, the film is somewhat realistic, nothing over the top, all cute, with the cute song of the year, and amusing all along without being hilarious. Fun, smiles. Great cameo by Sarah Michelle Gellar!! My heart almost stopped.

She's All That has so much going for it that made a guy like me fall in love with it. First, it is so 90's. That was the last great decade where everything was perfect. Teen movies were perfect, romance was perfect, the music was perfect. The timeless pop song "Kiss Me" by Sixpense NonetheRicher was used for this movie. And the other reason why I love this is that it's the modern teenage take on my favourite musical ever: My Fair Lady. Most people that didn't like this must not have liked the element of that. Luckily, I fit in where I love the whole 90's aspect as well as the roots of the film. I'm probably the only person that feels this way, but I don't mind. In fact, that makes me feel like I have a special bond with this film.My Fair Lady is about a well-respected upper-class Englishman who bets that he can transform a cockney woman into somebody classy. She's All That features the most popular guy in high school (Freddie Prinze Jr.) betting that he can transform the biggest basket case in school (Rachael Leigh Cook) into the prom queen. So the plot sounds pretty good eh? It is a process kind of plot where it all depends on the outcome of the idea. Fortunately for this, everything even before is handled just right. We get to know our main characters perfectly and feel for them. We get to know why our leading lady is so timid and our hearts go out. As our leading man falls for her, our heart goes out too. There is real chemistry and perfection behind the characters. This was made back when teen movies were made properly, back when party movies were well done, and when modern day adaptations were faithful to the original but still had their own spunk. I recommend this now more than when it came out.5.8 is much too low.

That the IMDb score is way too low speaks I think to the fact that the intended audience for the film was ... disappointed. Perhaps expectations were too high? Perhaps this story had been done once too often. But the odd fact (and the thrust of this review) is that the film is memorable because the stars rise above the material .... before they themselves burn out and lapse into film obscurity.It was an odd confluence of talent. Director Iscove is well respected in TV but this remains one of his only shots at a feature. Prinze, who had pretty much owned the casting niche he was in, was 23 at the time the film was made and arguably long in the tooth for a high schooler. Nonetheless the chemistry between him and Leigh-Cook was powerful and that chemistry held the movie up when the dialog and the mugging by the other actors let it down.It's all timing. Leigh-Cook never really made the transition to films after, but kept very busy with TV. Prinze never really made the transition, period, but he's still a young guy and who knows? The Pygmalion thing has been done to death but oddly Iscove, Prinze and Leigh-Cook kept it alive for one more outing. Entertaining.

As a fan of all those "late 90's teenage predictable chick-flicks," I thought this movie was pretty good. Compared to others in the same category however, it's definitely not the strongest. The story is predictable: the popular guy makes a bet claiming that he'll be able to make the school's biggest loner/outcast the prom queen. And, of course, by the end they fall for one another. Not a big surprise, but the story is still really fun to follow. With many witty one- liners, there were many laughable moments. However, as a hopeless romantic, my favorite part is the one where Zach and Laney have a close conversation concerning her late mother. I thought Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook worked really well together. The movie got REALLY cheesy at certain parts, not because of the lines (which also occasionally happened), but because of the character delivery. However, I never thought either of the leads overdid it. They had good chemistry and I enjoyed watching the two of them. Although it's not the best film of this sort that I've seen, I still enjoyed it and I'm glad I finally watched it. I would recommend it if you're having a girls night or are just in the mood for a 90's film.
