I really wish the by-the-numbers plot had not let down the performers so much.

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]

Reviews for She's All That
Director Robert Iscove isn't really taxing his imagination, but that's probably just as well.
A completely common and utterly excruciating high school ugly duckling romance so grossly out of touch with the times that even the title is passe.
If you're a teen and you like MTV's The Real World, I think you might enjoy this picture. If you're not a teen, there's better pictures out there for you.
Meanders sweetly towards its inevitable conclusion, telling its viewers exactly what they want to hear.
In the parlance of American Bandstand it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it, but that hardly separates it from the rest of the pack.
Every early attempt at proving this won’t be a standard teen flick is eventually negated by a cop-out later on in the film.
She's All That is essentially a formulaic comedy, but it has enough glimmerings of originality and wit to make you wish it were much bolder and funnier than it turns out to be.
A very entertaining and touching film and one of the better efforts in the recent class of teen flicks.
If you’re, ya know, old -- like over 17 -- you’ll prob’ly think it’s majorly lame-o.
