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]

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

Adolescence was never supposed to be this wholesome.

This is a movie aimed at insecure and immature pre-teens, but gives these impressionable youths hideous role-models and messages.

She's All That asks us to accept the ridiculous premise that the beautiful Laney could hide her good looks simply by wearing glasses and keeping her hair up.

Okay, there are a few chuckles, but I can count them all on one hand.

It's funny, observant, and sometimes charming, especially during the scenes shared by Prinze and Cook.

A distinctly minor pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless.

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

No surprise here: Laney gets a makeover and turns into a babe-and-a-half. Zack realizes what a manipulative jerk he is, and Taylor returns for the predictable standoff with Laney for his affections.

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

The movie is hardly an Oscar contender but is fast-moving with live-wire dialogue spoken by articulate kids.

Fortunately, Prinze and Cook offer up a good deal of adolescent charm, and they have a curious chemistry together.

To say this isn't original is to understate the matter. However, although it's questionable whether this story has ever been done well, that hasn't stopped filmmakers from repeatedly trying.

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

Once, just once, I'd love to see a teen flick that doesn't send out a message to young girls that to be acceptable, you have to conform. I liked the artist girl much better before.

This misbegotten comedy makes Beverly Hills 90210 look like a piercing documentary on high school life. To make matters worse, there's no trace of originality or freshness here.
