She's All That Movie
Storyline
TAGLINES
A new comedy that proves there's more to attraction than meets the eye.
These two opposites attract... but EVERYONE'S trying to keep them apart!
A modern-day version of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, where Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), is a Los Angeles high school hunk who's been dumped by his popular, but mean-spirited, girlfriend Taylor Vaughn (Jodi Lynn O'Keefe) for a famous volleyball player (Matthew Lillard). Frustrated, Zack accepts a bet from his friends that he can turn Laney Boggs (Rachel Leigh Cook), a geeky girl into the school's prom queen. Naturally he falls in love with her which leads to other complications from each other's friends and enemies alike.

Visitor Reviews
It had its moments, nothing spectacular.
posted on 24 Aug 2009I'd actually recommend seeing it if you don't feel like a heavy movie and just want to watch something fun. The movie is 'another teen movie" but does have some unique aspects to it, some pretty funny quotes ("what is this, the dork outreach program?")and moments, but unfortunately, a lot of that average teen movie drama and a few overly two-dimensional characters (Zach's friends and girlfriend). Cool dance scene though, and Freddie Prinze Jr. is bearable Rachel Leigh Cook is likable (I personally thought she was pretty good in it) and notably talented actors like Kevin Pollak, Kieran Culkin, and Anna Paquin give the movie some supporting foundation. Not a bad movie, not a great movie, just simply what it is:'another teen movie'.
Shes all that
posted on 01 Aug 2009I thought this film was a real feel good movie.It's not to be taken to seriously,but would'nt you love to be swept off your feet by the best looking boy in school(for all us dreamers out there) Freddie Prinze is wonderful ,and Rachel L Cook is great.A must see film for everyone who loves a typical teen flick.
A hip,hopping romantic love story
posted on 24 Jun 2009When me and my sister went to see this movie we thought it would be a hopless dull movie. But I was wrong this movie is one of the best films of 99 so far, it's also one of the best teenage films of all times. This is a great movie, I recommend it big time.
the best movie i've ever seen in my life
posted on 22 Jun 2009It has a great story line and it really tells the truth about High School.Freddie Prinze is a tremendously talented actor and can go alot of places.Rachael Leigh Cook is also a young star on the rise with a beautiful face so watch out hollywood here come's Rachael and Freddie.
I WAS HOOKED AFTER 10 MINUTES
posted on 20 Jun 2009I didn't expect much from this film since I ordinarily go more for dramatic movies, but after ten minutes I was hooked on this film. Just a charming revival of a kind of Beach Blanket Bingo era film with overtones of the more recent Cruel Incentives (in style). Beautiful people, lush backgrounds, money money money, etc.
Go see it by all means.
Okay.
posted on 17 Jun 2009Nothing great, but not truly horrible either. I was looking forward to seeing this, even though I had read a few bad reviews. Looking back, I would have rather seen a different movie. I guess it's an okay movie to watch once, and if you're a teen girl who likes this type of movie you'd probably like it. But I'm not planning to watch it again. It seemed to drag on, and many of the things the characters did/said (or didn't do/say) made me want to yell at them. Also, all the characters are so stereotypical. I personally thought the prom dance scene was really dumb, and Usher didn't really do much for the movie. Plus, the pizza scene was just totally disgusting. Having said that, there is some good parts about the movie. There were funny parts, and the ending, though pradictable, was nice. Rachel Leigh Cooke is a good actress (though you can't convince me that she's a dork. She's so pretty, and I liked the glasses!) so, I'd rate it a 5 out of 10.
Pretty in Blue?
posted on 07 Jun 2009Unabashed remake of Pretty in Pink - or countless other movies for that matter. Plot follows a well-trodden path: upper-class boy snob breaks up with upper-class girl snob and somehow finds/gets involved with lower-class girl who has the character his old girlfriend didn't have. Lots of sub-plots, over-the-top final prom dance scene (again, just like PiP). Kevin Pollack takes the Harry Dean Stanton role. Good work as well by Jodi Lyn O'Keefe as the grossly exaggerated Taylor Vaughn. Enjoyable, but not as satisfying as PiP by a long shot, with an ending that doesn't quite 'click'.
Cute teenage love story
posted on 01 Jun 2009I'm not the world's biggest fan of teenage American romances. It may be because I'm also not the world's biggest fan of American teenagers. But I really enjoyed this one.The story is fairly familiar; a handsome jock takes a bet that he can transform any girl in the school into the prom queen. His friends choose the serious and arty Rachel Leigh Cook. Romance blossoms and she finds herself vying for prom queen against the jock's snooty ex-girlfriend.So all the cliches are there; the jock, the outcast, the in crowd, the prom, the bet. What lifts this one from the ordinary are attractive and appealing leads, a nice cameo from Kevin Pollack as the father who just can't win on Jeopardy, and, of course, a really nice theme song.A perfect popcorn movie.

I Enjoy It
posted on 26 May 2009Well, from what I have learned is that people will only complain anything that involves teen, specially the teenage romantic comedy movie! Blah Blah Blah … this is predictable, this is so unoriginal, it’s this it’s that. Well after all it was a modern version of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. People have been using this for years, and even won 8 Oscar for My Fair Lady, I see no one complain about that??Synopsis: Zack Siler has it all, President of his class, Captain of the team, and dating the most popular girl in school. That is until she decides to dump him for an actor. With his reputation in jeopardy Zack bet best friend that he could turn any girl into the prom queen in six week.In my point of view, I really do enjoy this movie a lot. It is a simple guy and girl’s things, and most of all I was in Jr. High when the movie was out. The story is simple, well pace, humorous, and its continuity is awesome. I have seen a whole worst in screenplay, this one is just right.The best part of this movie was the casting, and probably why it was such a hit in 1999. Freddie Prinze Jr. was truly a chick magnet at that time, and Rachel Leigh Cook was the cutest girl on the planet. The combination makes this movie a ballistic hit. And they are both awesome in the movie, Zack character is pretty charming. And other young cast also did a darn good job too. It’s all fit.Overall, it was fun teenage romantic comedy, I enjoy it, and able to watch it again and again in the boring time. The movie also consists of a pretty cool (at that time) soundtrack. The only problem was that since it been like almost a decade now, everything look dated, specially the wardrobe.Lastly, I always believe that if you’re out of age, you don’t really associate with these kind of character anymore and wouldn’t have enjoy as much as people who’s a teenager. Anyway I enjoy the movie.Recommendation: I Do Own The DVD, And I Love Watching It.Reason to Watch: Casting, Personal Liking of This Genre of Movie, Life in Late 90s’.Reason Not To: Dated, Personal Dislike of Teenage Movie.Rating: 7.5 (Grade: B-)
More Clues America!
posted on 16 May 2009It's with a sense of intense embarrassment that I have to admit that I did actually enjoy She's All That. My four and a half quid got me away from the real real world for a few hours with none of the repercussions that a couple of pints of the local milk of amnesia would have brought. It was well done, easy on the eye, occasionally amusing, and didn't pretend to be any more than that.But hey America. This clueless Prom King and Queen thing. We don't understand it. Yet it's served up to us so many times that we're beginning to think that you might actually believe it. And that's worryingRon
She IS, but the movie...
posted on 02 May 2009Deciding to rent this movie was like, well, probably going to see this movie in theatres. It's tempting but you know it probably will be bad. And sure enough, you regret wasting the time and money afterwards."She's All That" starts promisingly enough, with a cool introduction of Uber-school president Prinze and some of the other characters(Matthew Lillard mostly), a neat beach flashback, and a subsequent performance art scene. Then the movie completely gets away.Film critic Roger Ebert applauds the humor "around the edges" of "She's All That". Though there were some funny, random scenes, many of the jokes in this movie went out to die.("I've decided to supersize my [falafal] balls," says an old man at a Middle Eastern-fastfood restaurant.) Really inexcusable were lines, meant to shed depth on the titular characters, but came out of absolutely nowhere and just confused me. For example, a confrontation between Zack(Prinze) and his father plays out horribly cliched, especially because Zack's complaints don't appear based in reality. Another artist mocks Laney(Cook) for no reason and refers to something that the viewer hasn't even witnessed in the movie. "She's All That" was set over a six week time span pre-Prom, but surprisingly little takes place, not enough to fill up more than a week by my reckoning.I don't know why this movie has been treated so favorably on IMDB. At this point, "She's all that" is rated in the mid-6s--above, "Top Gun", "Spaceballs", "White Men Can't Jump", and "Risky Business". Heck, the far better "Can't Hardly Wait" was cut from the same cookie cutter mold and targeted at the same group, and most like this movie more. My only guess is that viewers like the young, talented cast. Cook was beautiful and Prinze and the rest of the cast were cute, though they didn't work great together. This is the exact kind of shlock that gets packaged together and trotted out to high school kids every graduation. Thumbs down from me.



SEXY SAM
posted on 29 Aug 2009I think this movie is good for teens because it's happy and Freddie Prinze Jr is Georgous and sexy. You will find this film brilliant and I especially liked the ending.
