Dan G. @GNote Dec 13 I really enjoyed this movie, the chemistry was actually good, and really good cast See more Abree B. @Whoknows123 Nov 11 it’s ok would watch again but See more Perry B @Louiswin Nov 1 She’s All That isn’t just about Laney Boggs’ makeover — it’s about the transformation that happens on both sides. While Laney gains confidence and learns to embrace being seen, Zack Siler sheds his shallow “perfect guy” image and discovers a more genuine version of himself. Their relationship feels real because they change together, each bringing out the best in the other. With charm, heart, and standout chemistry between Rachael Leigh Cook and Freddie Prinze Jr., this late ‘90s teen rom-com proves that true love isn’t about appearances, but about seeing someone for who they really are. See more Raquel E Sep 15 A classic from its time, but watching it now feels dated and shallow. The “makeover” trope just doesn’t land the same way anymore. There’s little depth to the characters and the romance feels forced. While it might hold some nostalgic value, it’s hard to overlook how reductive and formulaic the story is. Just not for me. See more Entretenimiento C Sep 13 It Is in fact like a lot of fellow reviewers say so this teen movie Is so rooted in our pop vulture and Is well deserved place in our minds and hearts. Rachael Leigh my dear Lively crush Is so beautifil and gorgeous AND bright here along with Freddy Prince who charms. Rachael Is the movie. Kieran Is cool. So many known talents to recognice from the late Paul Walker to Sarah Michelle Gellar as extra AND Freddy s future. Good plot,story AND teen angst plot. By the way the sequel Is almost good but they made Lanney a mom AND nurse such bad choice as a subplot? She had a awesome future ahead. Bad plotting See more BadNews R @TheMovieSearch Sep 10 She’s All That has become a cult classic over the years, though not necessarily because it’s a flawless film. In fact, the movie is messy in a lot of ways—direction-wise, script-wise, and even in its core message. But sometimes a good mess can still be entertaining, and that’s exactly what this film offers. It’s not perfect by any stretch, but it’s the kind of lighthearted teen flick that remains fun to revisit every once in a while. The biggest issue, of course, is that it doesn’t age particularly well. The entire premise hinges on the idea that in order to win the boy, the girl has to completely transform herself—an outdated and shallow setup by today’s standards. Looking back, the movie feels backwards in its messaging, but at the time, it fit right into the late-90s teen rom-com formula. That said, the cast is what makes the movie work and gives it the cult following it still has today. Freddie Prinze Jr. does a decent job as Zack, the popular guy who makes the infamous bet. Rachael Leigh Cook brings charm to her role as Laney, even if the script doesn’t always do her justice. Paul Walker is always a welcome presence, and it’s bittersweet seeing him in these early roles. Then there’s Matthew Lillard, who completely steals scenes with his quirky, over-the-top energy that adds much-needed comedy to the film. Watching it now, She’s All That feels more like a nostalgic time capsule than a great movie. It represents an era when teen rom-coms were everywhere and often followed the same formula. For fans of that time period, it still hits the spot as a guilty pleasure. But for newer viewers, it’s hard to ignore the outdated elements and clunky storytelling. The sequel, He’s All That, only made things worse, proving that sometimes these stories should be left in the decade where they worked best. Still, She’s All That has its place. It’s not eye-catching or deeply memorable, but it holds enough nostalgia to keep people coming back. I personally don’t find myself rewatching it often—I think I’ve only seen it about three times in total—but every time it pops up on a streaming service, I understand why people still hold onto it. Overall, She’s All That is a cute, occasionally charming mess. It’s not a film I’d highly recommend to everyone, but for those who grew up with it—or who love late-90s teen movies—it has a special kind of staying power. Sometimes, nostalgia is enough to keep a movie alive. See more Read all reviews
