She's All That

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good
Review: This is better than many teen movies. It has some charming moments and witty lines, and Matthew Lillard's character is really funny. Prinze Jr and Cook are great in their roles too, The plot is very formulaic and predictable, not least because Rachel Leigh Cook's amazingly good looks can't help but shine through her 'freak' clothes and look...that is you know she is easily going to be transformed into a beautiful and desirable girl. The chemistry between Zach and Lanely is very convincing at first...there is a point in the plot where this reaches its peak and their coming together would have been better. But instead we have to have all the usual obstacles keeping them apart...and by the time they come together, I felt something was lacking and I didn't care about them as much. Appealing for teens and worth seeing if you're in the mood for something light and undemanding.

Summary: excellent
Review: Matt Lilliard is histerical! The rest of the cast is humerous and believable. Excellent romantic comedy.

Summary: Best romantic comedy for teens in years!
Review: If you're a high school student then you should definitely see this movie! SHE'S ALL THAT is about a modern-day high school and a group of modern-day high school students. Zack Siler is the most popular guy in the entire senior class. After his hot-shot girlfriend, Taylor, dumps him for a TV star, he makes a bet with his best friend, Dean. Dean bets him that he cannot find a Taylor-replacement by the time their Senior Prom rolls around and be able to turn her into the Prom Queen! Zack, not wanting to be a coward, accepts the challenge and Dean ends up setting Zack up with the biggest geek in school: Laney Boggs! But when Taylor finds out about Zack going out with Laney and gets jealous, she wants to win Zack back (Taylor claims she has to be Prom Queen). And Zack doesn't realize that he's starting to fall in love with Laney! This movie stars a group of today's hottest young actors. Among the supporting cast are Paul Walker, Usher Raymond, Kieren Culkin, Anna Paquin, Matthew Lillard, and many others. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook star as Zack and Laney. And since the high school is - or was, I should say - the same high school on the older episodes of "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer", Sarah Michelle Gellar makes a surprising appearance as one of the students in the "Cafeteria Scene"...(but you have to watch very closely for her, she's only on screen for a few minutes!).

SHE'S ALL THAT is a great, fun movie for all teenagers and a great high school experience. (Also, the "Dance Squence" at the Prom is amazing!) Enjoy!!!

Summary: As exciting as a plain rice cake
Review: And I'm not just saying this because I'm a "grown up". I LOVE teen movies (Never Been Kissed, Lucas, Breakfast Club, etc.), but the first time I saw this movie I walked in while my roommate was in the middle of it and within 5 minutes I knew everything I needed to about these characters. None of them had any personality to speak of. Laney, especially, STARTS OFF interesting enough but falls flat after she's made over. There's no spark to her whatsoever! I didn't care if they wound up together - the only thing that kept me watching was the hope that the popular girl would get mauled by llamas. She didn't.

Summary: i could watch it over and over
Review: I realy liked this movie, even though the basic story line was predictable. Its full of comedy and the acting is realy good. People compare it to never been kissed, and if your going to do this i have to say that this is loads better! As a buffy fan it was also good to see the same school as in the show been used as well as catching a glimpse of buffy her self. A definate must see for all teens.

Summary: Eye-Candy
Review: I had high hopes for this film, after all my friends telling me that this movie was so "All That" and that it was really good. It was pretty charming all right, and the two leads have some chemistry, but it wasn't very convincing. Come on, people, Laney without that midriff-baring red dress and makeup is STILL CUTE! If the character is cute right from the beginning ( where she so desperately tries NOT to look cute by wearing boring clothes), it's kinda hard to cheer for her or be in a mood like her at the end, isn't it?? And for the rest of the movie, it's not that funny, except for that part where Matthew Lilliard dances..he's so terrible its hilarious. I have to say that this movie is more looks than feelings, but what else do you except from a teen movie?? If you want a REAL teen movie that has REAL characters to it, check out "The Breakfast Club". Now that's a masterpiece.. ps>> DVD features weren't that great either.

Summary: "She's All That"...now here's what high school is all about!
Review: "She's All That" is probably the best movie for teens. But you don't even have to be a teenager to enjoy this movie. The setting of "She's All That", takes place in a town in California at a modern-day high school (the same high school used in the TV show, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"...a.k.a. Sunnydale High - well at least the older episodes took place there). It's senior year and the students just came back from spring break. Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is the most popular, coolest, guy in the entire senior class...maybe even the entire school. He's athletic, smart, cool, and rich. Zack comes back to school to find out that his hot-shot girlfriend, Taylor Vaughan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe), dumped him for a TV star, Brock Hudson from "The Real World" (Matthew Lillard) while she was on vacation in Florida with some of her friends. Still stunned and shocked by Taylor dumping him, Zack's best friend, Dean Sampson (Paul Walker), makes a bet with Zack...Zack is supposed to find any average girl to take the place of Taylor, and turn her into the Senior Prom Queen by the time of their Senior Prom. Dean gets to choose the girl...and he chooses Laney Boggs (Rachel Leigh Cook), the artistic, and biggest geek in school! Zack tries to get Laney to go out with her and they end up falling in love...even though Taylor tries to win back Zack! An excellent cast for a great, fun movie with superb performances by Freddie Prinze Jr., Paul Walker, Rachel Leigh Cook, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Matthew Lillard, Anna Paquin, Elden Ratliff, Usher Raymond, Kimberly "Lil' Kim" Jones, Gabrielle Union, Dule Hill, Kevin Pollak, and Kieran Culkin and a special appearence from Sarah Michelle Gellar ["Buffy the Vampire Slayer"] herself. I loved the dance sequence at the Senior Prom. The choreography for the routine was amazing...and the music was awesome, hip, and cool. This a very memorable movie and this really is what high school is all about. Prinze Jr., as Zack, portrays a perfect example of what jocks and popular guys are like in high school. And Cook, as Laney, protrays a perfect example of what all the rest of us high school students are like! One of the actors protrays an outstanding performance that really stands out. He is Kieran Culkin (actor Macualy Culkin's younger brother), who plays Simon Boggs, Laney's younger brother. One thing I think is really funny about this movie (not funny as in "ha, ha" funny but funny as in "strange" funny) is that both Kieran Culkin and Elden Ratliff (Jesse Jackson -- Laney's best friend) both star in the movie, "The Mighty" with Sharon Stone and Gillian Anderson. (That is another good movie I recommend, by the way.) And if you wanna get another view point of high school, then rent or buy "10 Things About You" -- starring yet, another fantastic group of young popular actors including Julia Stiles and Joseph Gorden-Levitt [Tommy, from the TV show, "3rd Rock from the Sun"]. "She's All That" is a great movie you can see again and again without getting tired of it! Go and buy it now!

Summary: Soundtrack help!!
Review: This is a great movie: romantic, unprententious and doesn't screw with a tried-and-true formula! Happy ending, great casting and cool music. The "Rockerfeller Skank" dance sequence rocks! One question remains - why is there no soundtrack? If anyone can tell me what the song is that is playing when all the gang is getting ready for the prom, and Laney is down in the basement painting (right before her Dad comes down to talk), could you please let me know via e-mail?? [e-mail] Thanks!!

Summary: A Good Film
Review: The storyline has been used loads of times but this still shines as a good film. Zac(Freddie Prince Jnr.), the most popular boy in High School gets dumped by his spoilt girlfriend Taylor. Zacs friends then say hes lost it so he makes a bet that he can turn any girl into the Prom Queen. His friend picks Leyonie, a weird and scary art student. He loses the bet but gets the girl .The story is good and so is the film. See It.
