If Hollywood can shoehorn William Shakespeare into the teen-movie treatment with Romeo and Juliet, and Jane Austen with Clueless (from her novel, Emma), why not George Bernard Shaw? While his Pygmalio... read more read more...n has been staged and filmed endless times, most famously as the musical My Fair Lady, here Shaw goes to high school. This time around, a Los Angeles' school's most popular guy Zack (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) loses his girlfriend Taylor (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) to television star Brock Hudson (Scream's Matthew Lillard). Zack then vows to his friends that he can take any girl in school and turn her into the prom queen. With five weeks until the prom, his friends pick weird, art nerd Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook). Zack predictably gets more than he bargained for as he falls in love with his "creation." Eldon Hudson and Kieran Culkin, stars of The Mighty, play Laney's best friend and little brother, respectively. Robert Iscove, director of television's Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, makes his big-screen debut. ~ Chris Gore, Rovi

    This is a really sweet and funny movie. Rachel Leigh Cook was really cute even with her glasses and Freddie Prinze Jr. set all the guys straight about after you make a bet you don't think of it as a bet. I also thought that Rachel Leigh Cook's fast way of talking was cute and I l... read moreove that Kiss Me song. :) This is a great 90s teen comedy. :) A movie you can watch over and over again. :) Great movie. :) I love it.! :) My dad even liked it! lol. :) Love it! :) Freddie is just toooo cute!!! :) Love it, love it, love it!

    Quirky but funny film that made me relate back to 'Not Another Teen Movie' Because of this I knew the ending already but it was a good film! Not great, but good!

    Except for one part where the bad boys had to eat pubes pizza for teasing Simon Boggs (Kieran Culkin), I liked the whole movie. The idea of this movie is like ancient - popular guy having a popular bitchy girlfriend and later on breaking up and he again fall for the unpopular gir... read morel and some problems occur but they solve it and they live happily ever after (I bet you've watched this kinda movie before). The prom dance was awesome.

    Surprisingly watchable teen romance feature adorable Freddie Prinze Jr. as the cool dude on campus who accepts a bet to play "Professor Higgins" to a cause-conscious but nerdy "Eliza Doolittle" (Rachel Leigh Cook). Despite the lesson about looks not defining a person, which gives... read more this film a John Hughes feel, there are plenty of fun, silly moments that guarantee at least a wide grin.

    Freddie Prinze Jr. is so ugly that it's impossible to believe that he would even stand a chance with Rachel Leigh Cook, much less play popular to her wallflower character. (But that's not why I didn't like this. Just something to point out. Anyway.) I hated it because it was clic... read morehe. And not in a guilty-pleasure way either.

    Love the music. Good rom com about the popular guy falling for the misfit girl.

    Thanks for making shitty high school movies popular again.

    A pretty good, funny chick flick with plenty of well known faces appearing. A boy has a bet he can turn any girl into a prom queen, and they choose the geekiest, tom boy they can.......will he succeed?

    Another teen flick but i guess its more tolerable than a lot of the other movies like it

Godfrey Cheshire, Variety

She's All That feels like it could have been made by a team of septuagenarians from the glory days of American Intl. Pictures. Full Review

Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

It's often impossible to distinguish what's meant to be cartoonish from what's meant to be dramatic, but the confusion seems appropriately adolescent. Full Review

Rick Groen

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

A trite classic. Full Review

Mick LaSalle

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's a pleasing but routine effort. Full Review

Justine Elias

Justine Elias, Village Voice

Only Prinze, who has the ethereal, gentlemanly quality of a young Anthony Perkins, gets enough screen time to really make an impression. Full Review

Paul Tatara

Paul Tatara, CNN.com

Director Robert Iscove isn't really taxing his imagination, but that's probably just as well. Full Review

Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

She's All That is not a great movie, but it has its moments. Full Review

Stephen Holden

Stephen Holden, New York Times

She's All That is essentially a formulaic comedy, but it has enough glimmerings of originality and wit to make you wish it were much bolder and funnier than it turns out to be. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

To say this isn't original is to understate the matter. However, although it's questionable whether this story has ever been done well, that hasn't stopped filmmakers from repeatedly trying. Full Review

Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com

In the process of discovering each other, both Laney and Zack learn that it's as OK to change as it is to stay the same, perhaps even better. Full Review

Facts


  • When Zach Siler looks at his college acceptance letters, the inside addresses shown are those of the colleges. In a real letter, the inside address would be that of the recipient. The school's address would be shown elsewhere on the letterhead.
