A formula flick. Full Review |

Adolescence was never supposed to be this wholesome. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
The rest is just breezy propaganda for American high school fascism. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
This is a movie aimed at insecure and immature pre-teens, but gives these impressionable youths hideous role-models and messages. Full Review |
||
 3/4 |
Iscove's film has its own brand of charm and is reasonable enough in its ambitions that it's awfully hard to resist. Full Review |
||
|
|
She's All That feels like it could have been made by a team of septuagenarians from the glory days of American Intl. Pictures. Full Review |

|
|
It's often impossible to distinguish what's meant to be cartoonish from what's meant to be dramatic, but the confusion seems appropriately adolescent. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
She's All That is not likely to make a mark or be remembered by anyone for very long, but it's harmless enough and useful for finding the finer points of this genre. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
The tempo of the film does well to cure the unlikely romance with just the right amount of anxiety and the leads -- especially Cook, who is wonderfully promising here -- create an earnestly heartfelt chemistry. Full Review |

With She's All That, we see how true garbage may nevertheless teem with a life of its own. Full Review |
||
|
C+ |
It's wretchedly predictable, inconsistently funny and not always well-written. It's enjoyable enough, but a truly good movie it's not. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Considering that all of us (even, one surmises, the young viewers smack in the hairlines of this movie's demographic gunsights) can guess where this story is going, why is the last third of this film so unrelentingly slow? Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The dance stops eventually, and then those darn kids start talking again. Way to ruin the mood. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
Contains just enough of a message about self-worth and honesty to lend some moral nutrition to the entertainment calories it provides so capably. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
She's All That showcases a pair of bright young stars whose charms partially camouflage a predictable plot. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
I gotta admit that it's kinda enjoyable, in a sugarcoated l'il story for a rainy afternoon way, but still... Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
A trite classic. Full Review |
||
|
|
A spiffy comedy about an adorable underdog. Full Review |

It is amazing that they can swipe a classic tale like [Pygmalion] and still add nothing but derivative tack-on flava to it. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Much better than you might expect. Full Review |
