She's All That is your typical high school prom king and queen story and the run in defending the star status in the upcoming election. High school hottie, Zack Siler is dumped by his prom-queen girlfriend, the equally attractive and extremely popular, Taylor Vaughan who fell for a second-hand world reject TV soap star who she met over the spring break. Having been publicly dumped, Zack defends his discomposure by stating that Taylor is all make-up and wonder-bra and he can make any ordinary girl a prom queen with a similar package. His high-school buddy, Dean Sampson, engages him in a bet following this statement and picks the geeky looking Laney Boggs out of the crowd as the girl Zack must transform into the new prom queen. Zack agrees since he has no option, but as time passes and Laney begins to transform, Zack begins to find her attractive. While all that falls beautifully in place, it's not your typical fairy-tale. Throw in Dean Sampson to complicate the situation, as when he first made the bet he never thought that Zack could rise to the challenge but looking at how Laney has transformed, it looks like Zack could be on a winning streak.
Leave your thoughts about She's All That.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWhat really saves She’s All That from being just another why-good-heavens-you’re-beautiful piece of piffle, however, is the way its lesser elements sparkle. The romantic comedy may be predictable, but director Iscove’s over-the-top parody of faux celebrity — by way of Lillard’s gleefully preening, partying, getting-sensitive-for-the-camera ex-Real Worlder — is a hoot. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThere are a few twists in the plot, but it is pretty standard stuff. |
| Refinery29Anne CohenShe's All That is so rooted in our cultural understanding of teen movies that a world without it now seems unimaginable. |
| Sight and SoundGeoffrey MacnabAdolescence was never supposed to be this wholesome. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelA high school drama that accurately reflects the intense pressures that 17-year-olds feel about their senior prom: from whom they are going with, to what direction their lives will take afterward. |
| Houston Community NewspapersGary BrownNo surprise here: Laney gets a makeover and turns into a babe-and-a-half. Zack realizes what a manipulative jerk he is, and Taylor returns for the predictable standoff with Laney for his affections. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterShe's All That asks us to accept the ridiculous premise that the beautiful Laney could hide her good looks simply by wearing glasses and keeping her hair up. |
| TV GuideKen FoxIscove's film has its own brand of charm and is reasonable enough in its ambitions that it's awfully hard to resist. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe two stars are like cool kids pretending to be tortured poets pretending to be cool. Neither can match the screen presence — the shameless self-infatuated ebullience — of Matthew Lillard, who does a wickedly grotesque turn as Brock Hudson, a kind of goggle-eyed Puck manqué in the film's dead-on send-up of "The Real World." |
| NetflixJames RocchiContains just enough of a message about self-worth and honesty to lend some moral nutrition to the entertainment calories it provides so capably. |
