Summary: This movie and Racheal Leigh Cook are all THAT!!!
Review: Oh oh kiss me benieath the milikings while i lay me under de de you wear those shoes and I will wear that dress oh oh. I love that song while it was overplayed in 1999 it is great now. This movie is about a hunk ( the guy from Scobby doo with the blond hair) who gets dumped by this quasi hot chick and then he take a bet with the guy who i think is fast and furious that he can take any broad and make her the HC Queen. Enter the lovely face and legs of americans 1999 sex pot Racheal Leigh Cook who falls for freedy ( which girl wouldnt) but then finds out that he was using her to win a bet.
A great story about the fact that if your a ugly girl and a hot guy like freedy prince asks you to a dance he prolly is doing it for a bet to win money or an Augie Ojeda jersey or he is suffering from amniesia and thinks your Hilary Duff.
Great cmaeo by the guy who wwas in Scooby, summer catch and Scream you may remember in Scream he says "Stand back, this one a really sceamer."
I obtanined 9wink-wink)a used copy of this movie back in 2000 but i gave it to my friend cuz i thought he would watch it w/ his sister who I was crushing over at the time. Ends up i never got it and i only was with the sister for 3 1/2 months, so iwaish i nbever gave him this movie.
Buy it if you love Freedie (LIKE ME!!) or think that Racheal LEeigh Cook is HOT! (which she is but not anymore just like my friends sister)
Great lesson learned about prom and there is atleast 7 references to Sega which ad the gresatet game ever TEAM USA basketball straing Christian Laettner
Not a must buy like Sum of all fears, ghost ship, cobb, debbie does iowa but damn close

Peace,

Summary: Look at the Cover Photo . . .
Review: The cover says it all. This is a romantic comedy, a relationship movie about two people. If that's what you are in the market for viewing, you will not be disappointed by the stereotyped portrayal of other characters or annoyed by the cheesy rendering of high school life. These are only plot devices. But because of them I witheld one (only one) star.

Several reviewers note Rachael Leigh Cook's striking talent and charm; I concur. There are few other movies that are written to showcase her as well as this one, but I am hoping some will be made. A few rebuttals are in order to some other comments. There is no skin in the movie, and only one curse word (appropriately uttered). And it will not undermine your preferred sexual orientation.

The plot is a combination of Cinderella and the equally common idea that a social manipulator falls for his own tricks (Cupid pricking himself with his own arrow in Cupid & Psyche). For all the comic intent, the resolution is surprisingly down to earth and satisfying. The very last scene likely would be forbidden in the real world, but it's funny and confirms the characters. Only one aspect of character motivation bothered me. If Zach is so insightful about people and relationships, what was he doing hanging around Taylor in the first place? And where does he get his insight? Not from his father. I guess it would make the movie too long and too serious to explain this, so just suspend disbelief. Laney's character, by comparison, is fully motivated and explained.

There is a music video among the extras which is a gem! "Kiss Me" performed by Sixpence (from their self-titled CD). They are sitting on a bench jammin' and the way the lead singer flirts with the camera, interposed with scenes from the movie and fantasy takeoffs from the movie, interacting with words from the song, unifies the movie with unrevealed childhood. It is a welcome relief from pointless trendy scene-frenzy which is so common. Unfortunately, the rest of Sixpence's music is not so upbeat. They should work for movies more often, maybe appear in one.

Summary: Beware! this movie will make you gay!
Review: when this movie ended i thought i just came out of an acid trip.
i was hypnotized by the movie's horrible acting and plot.
this movie is just another stereotype revolving around the good looking athletic high schoolers, and the notgoodlooking artistic highschoolers. i felt violated and noticed i my intelligence dropped. this is my generation at its prime; MTV spring break, high school and college keg parties, LSD raves and teenage sex. and there you have it
so my advice to anyone who wants to see this film is:
"Shes all that" will make you gay!

Summary: Tired Formula
Review: Another one of the many teen flicks where a "Pretty/Ugly Girl" gets rid of her glasses and puts on a red dress. In real life if you get rid of your glasses expect to trip over everything because you can't see 6 inches in front of your face. Prinze is the best actor since Casper Van Dien and Rachel Leigh Cook shows exactly why she is in so few movies.
The hunk falls for the geek, no surprises.

Summary: I admit it: This is a guilty pleasure
Review: I don't know why I like this flick, but i do. It's sweet. It's inrealistic, and hip, and trite and silly. The actors do a great job at caricatures of teenagers. And I love the silly dance sequence at the prom. I shouldn't like this film at all.. but I do!

Review: Racheal Leight Cook freddy Prince Jr Did Good

Rating:
Summary: Oh God, not another one!
Review: Here is another movie in which a guy makes a bet about girl, falls in love with girl, then girl finds out, etc. There have to have been at least 40 other movies and tv shows with this plot. Honestly, I would advise you to avoid all movies that have Freddie Prinze Jr. as their star. Every one that I have seen is rubbish.

In this movie, popular guy/jock Zack(Freddie Prinze Jr.) gets dumped by his self-absorbed witch of a girlfriend Taylor(how can you like a character who would go out with her?) for a rude self-absorbed tv star named Brock. While reeling from this shocking breakup, he makes a bet with a jerk friend of his(Okay, how did they become friends?) named Dean. The bet is that he can take any girl and make her a prom queen within the eight weeks before the prom. His "friend" picks out Laney, a misfit artist with horn-rimmed glasses and an extremely unbecoming haircut, played by Rachel Leigh Cook. A relative of mine glanced at the cover that features a photo of her and, after hearing a brief plot summary, said, "Oh, yeah right, like she could be a geek."

However, Cook manages it so well at the beginning that I found it difficult not to consider her a freak. Especially after the 'preforming arts' cafe scene. Anyway, Laney ends up flowering into a beautiful girl who gets nominated as prom queen (big surprise, huh?). The other nominee? Zack's old girlfriend Taylor.

Poor Zack begins to fall in love with Laney, but, unfortunately for him, his 'buddy' Dean decides that the new Laney is totally hot and tells her all about the bet. He omits the fact that it was his idea and that he selected her as the victim. Must have slipped his mind. Laney is shocked and hurt. Gee, what will happen? Will Zack be able to win her back? Ooh, that's a tough one. Oh, there is also a milisecond appearance by Sarah Michelle Gellar. This really does nothing to improve the movie. I suggest that you save your money.

Summary: A totally original awesome movie!
Review: This movie is great! It stars, Freddie Prinze Jr. as, like, the coolest, smartest, most popular guy in school. His girlfriend dumps him in the beginning, so you feel, toooootally sad for him. Like, who is Freddie going to take to the prom? Anyway his girlfriend dumps him for Matthew Lillard playing, Brock Hudson (which is like a totally real sounding name) and he is, like, such a jerk that you hate from the begining. Then like, one of Freddie's friends is all like "Dude, I bet, like you couldn't make any girl you take to the prom into the prom queen!" and Freddie's like "Bro, I totally could, do you want make a bet about it?" and his friend's all "Dude, totally!" Then he picks Rachael Leigh Cook, who is totally a nerd, and like uncool and stuff, and Freddie's like "Nah dude! She's like a dweeb! I can still do it though." This part is really believable because kids in highshcool make bets like this, like all the time. Then Freddie talks to Rachel and makes her take off her dork clothes, glasses and let her hair down. Then she transforms, into like pretty and stuff. And she's really hot and, "All That", because she wasn't pretty at all before. Freddie goes to his friend and he's like, "I am, like, totally going to win this bet bro!" and his friend's all, "Dude!" Anyway, then something TOTALLY originally and unexpected happens! Freddie, like falls in love with Rachel, even though she's like a dork and stuff, he find out she's like totally nice and funny and stuff. Then another plot twist happens, when Freddie and Rachel are about to go to the prom and she finds out about what Freddie did! She's like "I can't believe you made a bet about me! That's like, bad!" and then Freddie's like "But I like, totally like, love you now." then Rachel's says, like "I am not going to this prom with you, because I am like really sad about all of this." Now Freddie's like sad too and he's like "Oh no, what did I do?" He goes over to Rachel's house, and like, talks to her about how he feels, and then she's all "Even though you made that bet, like, I know you love me know, and I like tooooootally love you too." So that's, like, what happens in the movie and I think that everyone should totally see it because it's cool and believable, and like the acting's real good. This kind of stuff, like, totally happens in high school. I think Freddie should, totally, win an Oscar, because he is like sooooo hot in this movie. Or at least get a Golden Globe or whatever.

Summary: In the company of jocks
Review: In the grand tradition of CLUELESS -- that ingenious reworking of Jane Austen's Emma as a high-school comedy of manners -- comes this light, unassuming teen romance with an equally prestigious literary forebear: George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Zack Siler (Hottie Freddie Prinze Jr.) is a handsome high-school senior who seems to have it all: Class president, captain of the soccer team and boyfriend of Taylor Vaughn (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe), the most desirable girl in school and a shoo-in for prom queen. But when Taylor comes back from spring break on the arm of Brock Hudson (Matthew Lillard), the obnoxious star of cable TV's reality-based series The Real World, a humiliated Zack sets out to prove that girls like Taylor really aren't so special.

He bets his best friend Dean (Hottie Paul Walker) that, with the right hair, makeup and clothes, anyone could be transformed into a queen by prom night, and dares Dean to give it his best shot.

Dean finds their unsuspecting Eliza Doolittle in Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook), an intense, perpetually paint-splattered art student who's more concerned about riots in Mogadishu than popularity contests. Zack turns on the charm and gets to work, but the kicker, and what makes this first feature from TV director Robert Iscove so refreshing, is that Laney's nobody's fool: She's smart, socially conscious and, even when Zack starts to fall for her for real (surprised?), stubbornly independent.

If you went to the movies at all during the early '80s, you'll probably experience a not altogether unpleasant sense of deja vu: There's the big second-act house-party scene, a poignant father-daughter heart-to-heart, the prom-night climax. It may not have the razor-sharp wit and sparkling sophistication of CLUELESS -- which admittedly raised the bar pretty high -- but Iscove's film has its own brand of charm and is reasonable enough in its ambitions that it's awfully hard to resist.

Summary: she's all that
Review: I purchased this DVD, not knowing what to expect. But loved it, the chemistry between the two stars was excellent. I would like to see these two together again in more movies. It would be nice to see them in romances to if possible. Thanks again for such a fine movie.
