Summary: Am I the only person who thinks that this movie was awful?
Review: I thought that the acting in this movie was awful. It was extremely predictable, and it was geared towards those who would watch this movie only for the male actors. The only thing that was aesthetically unappealing about the girl in the movie was that she didn't dress as well as the other people. I watched the movie and was amused that anyone would actually like it. This is just my opinion; normally I don't dislike movies as much as I disliked this one.

Summary: It's the Details that Count
Review: I could write about the fine job Rachael Leigh Cook does in this film, and she does. But I'd rather talk about the camerawork. The opening sequence of this film is the best steady cam work I've seen. The camera flows through the corridors of the high school as all the major characters strut into frame to the beat of the soundtrack. It's a real tour de force and I just felt somebody ought to point it out. The choreography in the dance sequence at the Prom is commendable too. Good going. The DVD is quite nice, if minimalistic. I enjoyed the music video. Well worth a buy for fans of the genre.

Summary: Good Movie, Great Acting, Terrible Message
Review: Good Movie and Great Acting: She's All That is much better than the bland and irritating Titanic. The actors are more down to earth, more thorough, and openly emotional compared to the couple in Titanic. The ending is also realistic. The music soundtrack is excellent. The storyline is not bad, but there is one big flaw worth noting: Terrible Message: Laney the geek is kindhearted person, a skilled artist, and a good all-around girl, but it doesn't matter until Zack and her sister actually pressure Laney to shed her glasses, jumpers and Bermuda shirt, and put her into a scanty red dress, tight sandals, and lots of makeup, making her look gorgeous and sexually enticing. The message is that surface appearance is the only way to go around anywhere, and get any person's respect. The ugly people are given the IRS treatment every time. Laney's brother is maltreated by bullies- to the cheers of some students in the the cafeteria- until Zack comes int to stop the incident. What kind of message is that? The ending would be better if Laney had retained her geeky clothing all through the movie. Thank You for your time.

Summary: Rachael LEigh cook is the best part of this movie
Review: This charming update of Pygmalion (by way of the John Hughesoeuvre, most notably Pretty in Pink) rode the crest of the late-'90swave of immensely popular teen films (Varsity Blues, etc.), thanks primarily to the immense charisma of its two leads, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook. When school star Zach (Prinze)--who's a jock, smart, and popular--gets dumped by vacuous Taylor (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) after spring break, he's left dateless for the all-important prom. With a little goading from his less-than-sensitive best friend (hunky Paul Walker), he bets that he can make any girl into prom queen a mere eight weeks before the dance. The object of their wager: misfit Laney (Cook), a gawky art student too busy with her paintings and taking care of her brother and dad to worry about school politics. However, after a couple looks from Zach, and a few dates that reveal him to be a hunk of substance, Laney's armor begins to melt--and her stock at school soars. Soon enough, she's the lone candidate for prom queen against the bitchy and relentless Taylor. What elevates She's All That above the realm of standard teen fare is its mixture of good-natured fairy-tale romance and surprisingly clear-eyed view of high school social strata. The lines of class are demarcated as clearly as if in a Jane Austen novel, but the satire is equally deflating and affectionate. Sure, high school could be bad sometimes, but it was lots of fun too; this is a movie good-natured enough to take time out for an extended hip-hop dance number at the prom. Director Robert Iscove (who also helmed the Brandy-starring TV adaptation of Cinderella) has also assembled a great young cast, including a scene-stealing Anna Paquin as Zach's no-nonsense sister, Kieran Culkin as Laney's geeky brother, and a stupidly goofy Matthew Lillard as a Real World cast member whose arrival shakes things up a little too much. And amidst all the comedy and prom drama, you'd be hard-pressed to find two teen stars as talented, attractive, and appealing as Prinze and Cook. Prinze is an approachable and sensitive jock, though it's Cook who's the true star, investing Laney with confidence, humor, and heart. Like Zach, you'll be hard-pressed not to fall in love with her. By the story's end, both Cook and the film will have charmed the socks off of you.

Summary: IF ANYTHING, SEE IT FOR RACHAEL
Review: This movie would deserve about four stars, that is if Rachaelwasn't in it. It's even good if you put it on mute... you still getto see Rachael! Alright... I'm a bit obsessed with the young actress, but the bottom line is that it's a great movie. DVD makes it even better

Summary: Best Teenage Movie of the Year!
Review: The storyline is familiar and quite predictable but thanks to the brilliant cast and great chemistry between the two leads, Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachael Leigh Cook, this movie WORKS. The excellent music is a bonus. Ranks with "10 Things I Hate About You" as 2 of my favourite teen movies of the year. Highly recommended!

Summary: Charming & Funny, Very Hip
Review: A modern adaption of the Pygmalion fairy tale has a lot of class. The young casts really shines, the interaction between Rachel Leigh Cook and Freddie Prinze Jr makes it believable. Great soundtrack. Reminds me of High School - all of the pains and all of the fun.

Summary: Beats all others hands down.
Review: The movie was about a high school nerd Laney who was picked as a bet for the most popular guy in school to fall back on since his dishy, bitchy girlfriend Taylor dumped him. What Zach (guy) didn't anticpate was that Laney was not going to fall into his hands without a fight from her, other outside factors as well as his feelings. Well the whole story is simply about how they over come everything to become adults and to find love.
