Summary: Typical teen romance
Review: This is just a typical teen romance story. However, it also gives the "nerdy" girls a chance that they will score with the most popular guy in school. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook really showed their great acting abilities in this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE HIT
Review: THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE, ONE OF THE TOP HITS OF 99. EVEN THOUGH IT DIDNT MAKE 100 MILLON AND PLUS, IT STILLS LIVES UP TO THE HYPE. BUT FREDDIE PRINZE JR IS DONE, I MEAN HES ONLY HAD 2 HITS THIS ONE AND I KNOW WHAT U DID LAST SUMMER. HIS LAST 2 FILMS DIDNT EVEN MAKE 20 MILLON AT THE BOX OFFICE. BOYS AND GIRLS EXPECT IT TO MAKE ABOUT 15, IN THIS FILM IT SHOULD US A PROMISING CAREAR FOR PRINZE, BUT ITS OVER. SEE THIS MOVIE!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Henry Higgins as a Teen ?
Review: I know I know, but this is a rather good retelling of _Pygmalion_ redone for High School.

After all you have someone from the upper class, take a bet to turn someone from the lower class into one of the upper class. In _Pygmalion_ the lower class was that way because of the way she spoke, in _She's all That_ it's her "look".

Freddie Prinze Jr. Does a very good job as Zach, But Rachel Leigh Cook steals the show.

The DVD is not much, but at least it doesn't have all the evil preview junk that Disney puts in the Load up portion of the DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A likeable teen romance.
Review: Ok, this movie is not great. It's also not original in the slightest- featuring teen stereotypes galore and a plot that was hijacked from other teen movies and Pygmalion. Yet it succeeds at what it set out to be- a sweet, teen romance. The success of this film is entirely rooted in the performances of its two leads, Freddy Prinz, Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook. I wouldn't say that these two actors bring great range or depth to the table; but they do bring loads of charisma and the ability to make their characters likeable. And in a teen romance, charisma and likeability are good enough to make a film work. The performances of Ms. Cook and Mr. Prinz gave this movie heart which enabled them to overcome the predictable script. Of course, one must still approach this movie with a healthy dose of suspended disbelief in order to believe that Ms. Cook could ever be considered unattractive. Despite her glasses, baggy clothes, and rather obvious wig, there is no disguising the fact that Ms. Cook is extremely pretty. (But what should one expect from Hollywood? The town that sold us the idea that street prosititutes could look like Julia Roberts!) Anyway I do not think "She's All That" is a great movie; but I did enjoy it for what it was- a sweet, romantic teen comedy. It's probably not a four star film, but I liked it, so I tacked on an extra star. A special mention should go to Matthew Lillard, who provides the movie its best comic moments, with his hilarious send-up of the ultra-obnoxious Puck from "The Real World."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A teen movie that is actually smart!
Review: I am a professor of English and I have to say that this film is wonderful. It has a typically moral message, but isn't icky or overbearing about it. Freddie plays the most popular guy in the class, and yet he displays warmth and intelligence. "Teen" movies get a reflixive dismissal, but this one is worth watching, and even thinking about.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: She's All That - Good movie, Bad DVD
Review: Well, I have always been into these kinds of movies about the young Generation X. I heard from my teenage sister that this movie is definitely all that. So is it? &#63728;&#63728; One of the reasons why I was hesitant on buying this DVD is because there is only one extra and that's the music video by Sixpence None the Richer. There is no trailer, nothing....

For DVD enthusiasts, this is not cool!

As for the movie, I enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the dance scene during the prom. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook did a great job. Also, you can see a special small cameo of Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, Sarah Michelle Gellar in the cafeteria scene. This movie is a fun movie to watch, but as a DVD...there should have been more included.

The movie was fun to watch...but the DVD was just blah! No extras...no good rating! Hope Miramax remembers that if they want their DVD's to be bought that rented, they need to add more to their DVD releases.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Totally Unimaginative
Review: I don't understand all the hype about this film-its far from being anything special. The plot-if you could call it that-is very ordinary and echoes about a zillion sterotypes about teenagers. I don't mind the fact that the film is superficial: a film can get away with dealing with superficial characters or situations so long as it has some originality, like Clueless. It's just that the screenplay is second rate and the sort that you can imagine just about any wannabe writer putting forward. It lacks *imagination.* Oh and the acting's not too good either, and the jokes are quite feeble. The only things worth checking out about this movie is the final dance scene and the soundtrack. If you wanna see 'teen movies' with a bit of originality and imagination I rate Cruel Intentions, American Pie and Clueless.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A typical teeney-bopper flick
Review: I enjoyed this movie, though I'm not a teenager anymore (thank goodness!). I liked Freddie and Rachel together as Zach and Laney. The thing that I didn't like about the movie was turning Laney into a copy of the rest of the popular girls. She was beautiful before the hair cut and little red dress. I wish Zach had fallen for her "as is", glasses and all, rather than after the "miraculous" transformation. She had a great personality, very down to earth. Certainly she was worth 100 times the rest of them. Zach was your typical popular guy, but I agree with a former reviewer. He should have defended her when Taylor poured wine down her dress. But I guess you can't expect the god of the campus to defend the class "weirdo". What would everybody think? But it was nice to see the change in him from going to "the bet" guy, to the sincere, caring guy. On the whole, it was a fun movie. So what happens after graduation?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining and Hip!
Review: This one features a smart performance by Rachael Leigh Cook that ultimately saves the movie. Freddie Prince is also great but the screenplay really didn't give him much to work with. I enjoyed the class differences details and the mocking of 'MTV Real World'. The performances were also OK, and the final dance sequence is a highlight. But lots of aimless dialogue and out of place scenes really bring this one down. The screenplay really had material to work with but never really gets anywhere. Ultimately entertaining and sometimes funny. Extras: spot Sarah Michelle Gellar in a cameo. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 5!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shes all that
Review: I thought this film was a real feel good movie.It's not to be taken to seriously,but would'nt you love to be swept off your feet by the best looking boy in school(for all us dreamers out there) Freddie Prinze is wonderful ,and Rachel L Cook is great.A must see film for everyone who loves a typical teen flick.
