Amazon.co.uk Review
What elevates She's All That above the realm of standard teen fare is its mixture of good-natured fairy-tale romance and surprisingly clear-eyed view of high school social strata. The lines of class are demarcated as clearly as if in a Jane Austen novel, but the satire is equally deflating and affectionate. Sure, high school can be bad sometimes, but it can be lots of fun too; this is a movie good-natured enough to take time out for an extended hip-hop dance number at the prom. Director Robert Iscove (who also headed the Brandy-starring TV adaptation of Cinderella) has also assembled a great young cast, including a scene-stealing Anna Paquin as Zach's no-nonsense sister, Kieran Culkin as Laney's geeky brother, and a stupidly goofy Matthew Lillard as a Real World cast member whose arrival shakes things up a little too much. And amidst all the comedy and prom drama, you'd be hard-pressed to find two teen stars as talented, attractive, and appealing as Prinze and Cook. Prinze is an approachable and sensitive jock, though it's Cook who's the true star, investing Laney with confidence, humour, and heart. Like Zach, you'll be hard-pressed not to fall in love with her. By the story's end, both Cook and the film will have charmed the socks off of you. --Mark Englehart, Amazon.com
On the DVD: While the cast and director interviews are enjoyable and quick-paced, they offer few behind-the-scenes revelations. The "Shooting the Movie" sequence can hardly be called a documentary as it's just a backstage amateur camera filming the crew in action (it doesn't even have a presenter), but at least it offers an idea of the day-to-day routine of filming. As for the yearbook photo library and the trailer, they are very middle-of-the-road fare. The only redeemable point in this package is the picture quality in an excellent 16:9 anamorphic format and the 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack, although it is only offered in English with no subtitles. --Celine Martig

3.0 out of 5 stars
Cute little teenage romantic comedy!,
By A Customer
This review is from: She's All That [DVD] [1999] (DVD)
Though not everything in this movie is believable, She's All That is a very cute and entertaining movie due to its tight script and winning performances, particularly from its two leads. The story is pretty familiar; the most popular jock in school (Freddie Prinze Jr) takes a bet that he can transform any girl in high school into the new prom queen. His friends choose the serious and arty Laney (Rachel Leigh Cook). Romance blossoms and she finds herself competing for prom queen against the jock's snooty ex-girlfriend. The cast in general was good, and the plot was carried out very well. There's a good deal of flashy visuals, successful attempts at humor and an amazing amount of help from the supporting cast. Anyone who likes teen flicks should definitely check this movie out.

This review is from: She's All That [DVD] [1999] (DVD)
at first i thought this was going to be your typical teen movie, that had bad acting and stupid storyline, but its not. ditched by his girlfriend for a reality tv star zack bets his best mate that he can turn any girl into prom queen in 6weeks. the girl picked is laney boggs, she is rude, doesnt talk to anyone and hides away from the world. however when she is turned into a beautiful young lady, zack develops true feelings for her. but what will happen when she finds out the truth? unlike some teen comedies this is fun, sassy and very well written and acted. you will love this film.

She's all that,
By A Customer
This review is from: She's All That [DVD] [1999] (DVD)
This is one of the best films I have seen yet. Rachael Leigh Cook is obviosly the best person to play Laney and Freddie Prince Junior perfectly fits the part of Zack. Funny and sweet this was the perfect film to watch with my friend. Zach is the boy everyone else wants to be. He has the best and most popular girl in school, he is the captain of the soccer team and class president. Everything in the world is brilliant for him until spring break. His popular girlfriend found another man and now Zach is ditched and everyone knows it. To keep his reputation up he takes on an impossibl bet. His friend gets to pick any girl in the school and Zach has just three weeks to turn her into the prom queen. As Zach starts to stalk Laney and transforms her he gets more than he bargained for. He ends up falling for Laney but secrets are never kept for long and Laney finds out about the bet. Will she ever believe that Zach has truly fallen in love with her?
