Leave your thoughts about He's All That.
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowIt is a sweet little end of summer sorbet with appealing young performers and a script that refreshes the original without overdoing it. |
| PolygonPetrana RadulovicHelmed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls, 2003’s Freaky Friday) and with a script from R. Lee Fleming Jr., the screenwriter behind the original movie, He’s All That is one of the best high-school romantic comedies in recent history. It uses the old movie’s makeover template to carve out a romantic story that hits all the satisfying beats, turning turns them into something refreshing… and actually better than the original movie. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdonaYou’ll be pleased to discover the entertaining remake has its charms; it actually is all that, for the most part. |
| IGNMatt FowlerAddison Rae and Tanner Buchanan are magnetic leads in this reboot that pays homage to the first film, but fully stands on its own. It manages to cut through modern high school b.s. while transforming two posers into presentable, likable people. |
| The Hollywood ReporterRobyn BahrHe’s All That may be a flattened reflection of its predecessor, but both films are charming enough to get away with about one anal sex innuendo joke apiece. |
| San Francisco ChronicleLily JaniakDirected by Mark Waters, cast members seem to operate on the belief that they can best deal with the plot’s improbabilities by grimacing their way through and not giving anyone time to react to them. Pesky details brushed aside, the film can play to its strength, which is the charm of its leads. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThis movie is pure cotton candy — sweet and brightly colored and a bit of a guilty pleasure, but it’s not intended to be something you can sink your teeth into, and five minutes after consuming it, it’s like it never happened. |
| The New York TimesDevika GirishHot people pretending to be homely is par for the course in makeover movies; the real thrill lies in watching opposites attract. But the catfights, confessions, and dance-offs in He’s All That lack the sting of real romantic conflict, and there’s nary a spark between Rae and Buchanan. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzThe intentions were probably noble, but the execution not so much. |
| The GuardianAdrian HortonIt’s the same feeling, really, as watching a bunch of straight TikToks. While Rae offers flashes of promise, especially when she pops her genuinely winning smile, she doesn’t make the case for TikTok-to-film-stardom here. The chemistry between her and Buchanan is stilted, at best. |
