mail-873-825928 This movie is 90s American culture distilled into an hour and a half. Its presentation of then contemporary society- an idealization of society that demonstrates the values of the mainstream. The problems of desire- in bucolic suburbia life finds a way to narrate itself its own minor strife to allow those in the era devoid to feel alive.

lisadaniellewojcik I never realized how grossly misogynistic this movie was until I re-watched it as an adult in 2017.

studioAT As a twist on the 'ugly duckling' story this is a decent enough romantic comedy, but one that can't help but look a little dated.Freddie Prince Jr made a few of this type of romantic comedies in the 90's and is on good form here, supported by Matthew Lillard and Dule Hill of West Wing fame.Once it gets over a slow first 30 mins it picks up considerably, with some nice scenes between Price Jr and Leigh Cook.It's not the best film ever made, but it's enjoyable enough viewing.

powermandan She's All That has so much going for it that made a guy like me fall in love with it. First, it is so 90's. That was the last great decade where everything was perfect. Teen movies were perfect, romance was perfect, the music was perfect. The timeless pop song "Kiss Me" by Sixpense NonetheRicher was used for this movie. And the other reason why I love this is that it's the modern teenage take on my favourite musical ever: My Fair Lady. Most people that didn't like this must not have liked the element of that. Luckily, I fit in where I love the whole 90's aspect as well as the roots of the film. I'm probably the only person that feels this way, but I don't mind. In fact, that makes me feel like I have a special bond with this film.My Fair Lady is about a well-respected upper-class Englishman who bets that he can transform a cockney woman into somebody classy. She's All That features the most popular guy in high school (Freddie Prinze Jr.) betting that he can transform the biggest basket case in school (Rachael Leigh Cook) into the prom queen. So the plot sounds pretty good eh? It is a process kind of plot where it all depends on the outcome of the idea. Fortunately for this, everything even before is handled just right. We get to know our main characters perfectly and feel for them. We get to know why our leading lady is so timid and our hearts go out. As our leading man falls for her, our heart goes out too. There is real chemistry and perfection behind the characters. This was made back when teen movies were made properly, back when party movies were well done, and when modern day adaptations were faithful to the original but still had their own spunk. I recommend this now more than when it came out.5.8 is much too low.
