Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is the man on campus at the Southern California High School. He thinks he will coast through the final days of his semester until unexpectedly his girlfriend (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) dumps him for a celebrity on the hit MTV show 'The Real World' just days before the prom. Zack confidently makes a bet with his best friend (Paul Walker) thinking that any girl he dates can become the next prom queen. After a bit of searching they find an unpopular art student named Laney (Rachael Leigh Cook) who seems like the perfect person for Zack's friend to win the bet and humiliate Zack at the same time. After this, Zack reluctantly rejects his friends bet and tries to back out, but his friend is resilient and refuses to change his mind. Accepting this, Zack approaches and attempts to befriend Laney in the hope of transforming her into prom queen material. Zack eventually manages to spend some time with Laney and ultimately realises that he loves Laney and that they have a lot in common. Ultimately Zack sees Laney as his true love and he doesn't care if he loses the bet because he has found something so much better in return.This is an enjoyable teen romantic comedy. It was the surprise hit of the year at the Box Office and there was even talk of a remake. The actors give great performances and the song by the band "Sixpence None The Richer" titled "Kiss Me" fits the theme of the film perfectly.
... View MoreShe's All That has so much going for it that made a guy like me fall in love with it. First, it is so 90's. That was the last great decade where everything was perfect. Teen movies were perfect, romance was perfect, the music was perfect. The timeless pop song "Kiss Me" by Sixpense NonetheRicher was used for this movie. And the other reason why I love this is that it's the modern teenage take on my favourite musical ever: My Fair Lady. Most people that didn't like this must not have liked the element of that. Luckily, I fit in where I love the whole 90's aspect as well as the roots of the film. I'm probably the only person that feels this way, but I don't mind. In fact, that makes me feel like I have a special bond with this film.My Fair Lady is about a well-respected upper-class Englishman who bets that he can transform a cockney woman into somebody classy. She's All That features the most popular guy in high school (Freddie Prinze Jr.) betting that he can transform the biggest basket case in school (Rachael Leigh Cook) into the prom queen. So the plot sounds pretty good eh? It is a process kind of plot where it all depends on the outcome of the idea. Fortunately for this, everything even before is handled just right. We get to know our main characters perfectly and feel for them. We get to know why our leading lady is so timid and our hearts go out. As our leading man falls for her, our heart goes out too. There is real chemistry and perfection behind the characters. This was made back when teen movies were made properly, back when party movies were well done, and when modern day adaptations were faithful to the original but still had their own spunk. I recommend this now more than when it came out.5.8 is much too low.
... View MoreIt was a classic teen movie with hundreds of clichés ! we have seen the same story again and again and still it was watched with pleasure ! it is not easy to be bored with a movie like that ... i would not recommend it someone who is not into chick- flicks ! the 90s were a great decade for films like that so there are some interesting points made ! the problem is that there was nothing standing out about this movie not the cast , not the plot line !after all i enjoyed watching it but there are far better movies of this type you should watch first P.S. See that movie before you see "not another teen movie" because even though it is a funny movie it contains many spoilers
