What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hobbled by a lack of chemistry between its stars, He's All That comes up short on numerous opportunities to improve upon its gender-swapped source material.

Audience Says

Bogged down with bad acting and distracting product placement, He's All That feels more like a commercial than a movie.

Wenlei Ma News.com.au It's unwatchable for anyone over 11 years old. Rated: 1/5 Sep 11, 2021 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News "He's All That" is uninspired, inconsistent and uninteresting, and owes what little wattage it manages to flicker to Buchanan and Cook. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 4, 2021 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Rae and Buchanan have chemistry, and even if his character's conversion into a hottie is as identically silly as Cook's was in the original... I did find myself wanting to see the couple end up together. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Jillian Chilingerian Offscreen With Jillian The gender-bent He's All That is added onto the long list of reboots that didn't need to leave the conference room. Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Tyler Strandberg InSession Film As a remake, we’re already familiar with the plot of the story, but the “makeover/win someone over as a bet but then actually fall for them” trope is something we’ve already seen, and it’s been done better.

Jack t Based on the film called She's All That with Freddie Prinze Jr. which I haven't watched, we have a gender swapped remake made by Netflix and Miramax called He's All That, another chick flick from another mother in which I know I'm gonna be in for another torture. In this remake of this decade, a TikTok influencer named Padgett Sawyer is in her final year of high school who lives with her divorced mother who is a nurse. She pretends to live in an upscale condo in order to hide her real living conditions from her followers and sponsors, fearing they wouldn't like her anymore. However, one day, she discovers that her boyfriend who is an influencer and an aspiring hip hop artist Jordan Van Draanen, is cheating on her with a backup dancer. Then she finds herself humiliated when a live stream of her outburst results in her loss of followers and sponsorship deals because the camera was still recording when it happened. To redeem herself, she must accept a bet to turn the school's least popular young man, Cameron Kweller, an antisocial photography student, into prom king. Here I again on my own to suffer through another god-awful chick flick which I expected to be s**t before watching it. I watched it last night and this morning I nearly had the urge to torture myself to watch this s**t again but no because I suffer through this one enough. Whenever I watch something that is awful for the first time, once is enough, and if I feel like I want to watch something again for a second time and something s**t, twice will be enough as well just in case I have to urge to review it to make it final. What's really irritating for me is that the character, Alden Pierce, who is Padgett's friend at first when there's a birthday party for Alden which is Great Gatsby-themed and then next day it all turns around when she become enemies with Padgett turning on her revealing her plan to become a prom queen alongside Jordan and her true colors as she is responsible for intentionally live-streaming Padgett's outburst in the first place. Alden, you are an absolute motherwhoring ***t. What's really surprising to me is that Matthew Lillard makes an appearance in this movie. That's right, Matthew Lillard makes an appearance as a principal. "Surprise, Sidney." Wow. As it is and as a Netflix chick flick, this is the absolute worst film I have ever seen period and I felt for certain that this is probably not the most memorable review I have ever done considering that Bratz the movie is the one I ranted on last year which my rant more funnier and memorable in any way including the others I've ranted on and considering that I've seen worse movies than this, the last thing I wanna say to them is they can go f**k themselves and before they do that, they can go f**k giant b*****ds and kiss my hairy pucker. This s**t p***es me off! Netflix, or should I say Twatflix, go f**k yourselves! You made The Kissing Booth crap, you made Sierra Burgess is a Loser crap and now you made this movie, He's All That even more crap and now you all a bunch of twatty arsed, c**ksucking, motherwhoring, dog humping, tit f**king, expensive handjobbing, lip moistening pussy licking, pieces of dog s**t! F**k you! Whew, that feels so good to get it out of my system. Now as I nearly got the urge to watch it again, I feel like I don't have to anymore, I seen enough. Thank God for that! I just wish I wanna see some good chick flicks just like Pretty in Pink and Crossroads. I don't think I ever come across one of them by Twatflix because all they can think about is money. Money, money, money, money, money. Oh dear lord almighty! Out of all the films I've seen, this is the worst, the irritatingness and the whoringness. Okay. Scooby Dooby Doo. ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Birithivy Y He's All That - 6/10. Let me preface this review by saying that She's All That is one of my favourite 90s teen romcoms of all time. It captured the zeitgeist of the 90s so well, along with playing to and creating the teen romcom format. So, with this remake, what I thought would be a disaster, ends up being a not so bad watch. Using the same formula as the original, the movie switches the makeover to a “loser” guy, and changes the bets reasoning a little too. With some questionable dramatic acting, the movie gets its strength from actually doing a fairly good job of playing into the dynamic the lead pair have romantically, and the silliness that comes with doing things for social media. Addison Rae is not a trained actress and it shows. But, she surprisingly does an okay job, considering this is her first big role. Its when she shares screen time with Tanner Buchanan that she really shows her possible acting abilities. Its nice to see the original star Rachael Leigh Cook in an extended role, and Matthew Lillard in a role as well. The other supporting characters are actually well performed, which helps elevate the movie from mediocrity. In terms of recent remakes, this isn’t the worst but certainly isn’t the best. Its a passable watch! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Nannie 4 I actually like the movie. There were a lot of easter eggs for those of us who watched She's All That a lot. I noticed a bunch of them right away. For those who didn't like the movie, maybe you should watch She's All That and then watch He's All That and maybe you get it. Either way I liked the movie and I'm sticking to that story. LOL. BTW did you notice the cameo by Matthew Lillard??? Unless you've seen She's All That....you will know he was in that one too. By the way "Kiss Me" is from She's All That and that's why Padgett's mom tells her that she's heard it before. LOL. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Tamara M One of the best romance comedy movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Rumarna K This movie was definitely relevant in an an age where everyone is trying to be someone else. The so called digital age where everyone posts on social media and compares themselves to others, pagents prom queen speech sends a very important message. Be yourself and be original I thought it needed to be said. The chemistry between the two leads was especially good. The actress playing pageant was especially good and the principal of the high school even though his part in the movie was small. The actress playing Alden played a self entitled brat very well and was very convincing. Unfortunately not everyone’s acting was up to par especially the popular guy ( van der halen) and his mates weren’t convincing at all. Overall it not a blockbuster but it’s a feel good movie. If you want to watch a feel good movie that has a great message this is for you. I loved the fact that Cameron loved pagent for her and not what she looked like, her popularity or her social media followers. It what true love looks like, when someone loves you for who you really are sadly missing from todays world. I was very surprised by this especially in a movie made in 2021. She’s all that was far more superficial and didn’t really have a good message. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Karen A One word to describe this movie, CRINGE.
