Prinze stars as a high-school stud who makes a bet with a friend that he can transform the hopelessly geeky Cook into a prom queen. It turns out the transformation is even more successful than he could have imagined--before he knows it, he's fallen in love with her himself. SHE’S ALL THAT features Matthew Lillard, Anna Paquin, Paul Walker, and Kevin Pollak, as well as acting appearances for music artists Usher and Lil’ Kim. [More]

  • She's All That
  • An irresistible cast of Hollywood's young faces star in this fun, sexy comedy hit about the power of attraction and the pressures of popularity! Stung when his bombshell girlfriend abruptly dumps him for a TV celebrity, big man on campus Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr., SCOOBY-DOO, BOYS AND GIRLS, DOWN TO YOU) wagers with a classmate he can quickly turn any girl -- even the school's biggest geek, Laney Boggs (Rachel Leigh Cook, TEXAS RANGERS, JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS) -- into the prom queen! He wasn't, however, betting on falling in love! After an amazing makeover, Laney is transformed from nobody to knockout ... but when she learns of Zack's deception, it could ruin any chance he had with his newfound dream girl! With a hip, modern soundtrack and a hilarious story that audiences loved, this great comedy is all that ... and more!

    Iscove's film has its own brand of charm and is reasonable enough in its ambitions that it's awfully hard to resist.

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

    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.

    She's All That is not likely to make a mark or be remembered by anyone for very long, but it's harmless enough and useful for finding the finer points of this genre.

    The tempo of the film does well to cure the unlikely romance with just the right amount of anxiety and the leads -- especially Cook, who is wonderfully promising here -- create an earnestly heartfelt chemistry.

    With She's All That, we see how true garbage may nevertheless teem with a life of its own.

    It's wretchedly predictable, inconsistently funny and not always well-written. It's enjoyable enough, but a truly good movie it's not.

    Considering that all of us (even, one surmises, the young viewers smack in the hairlines of this movie's demographic gunsights) can guess where this story is going, why is the last third of this film so unrelentingly slow?

    The dance stops eventually, and then those darn kids start talking again. Way to ruin the mood.

    Contains just enough of a message about self-worth and honesty to lend some moral nutrition to the entertainment calories it provides so capably.

    She's All That showcases a pair of bright young stars whose charms partially camouflage a predictable plot.

    I gotta admit that it's kinda enjoyable, in a sugarcoated l'il story for a rainy afternoon way, but still...

    It is amazing that they can swipe a classic tale like [Pygmalion] and still add nothing but derivative tack-on flava to it.

    There are a few twists in the plot, but it is pretty standard stuff.

    The rest is just breezy propaganda for American high school fascism.
