She's All That

Pros: cute story, good acting, great characters
Cons: sappy, it's been done 100 times before

As a "rule" I tend to abhor the new trend in what I dub "Teeny Bopper" Movies. They tend to have all the same people in them, have a "been there, done that" plot and story and the acting is usually only tolerable. So, the...

Pros: cute people. nice music. pleasant mind candy.
Cons: formulaic.

She's All That is a formula movie. See if you recognize this. Zack (Freddie Prinze Jr.) comes from a wealthy family which has high inspirations for him. His sister, Mackenzie (Anna Paquin), attends a private all-girl school and is very cool. He is the...

Pros: great moral to the story
Cons: teenagers movie

She's all that takes place at high school in California where everyone is coming back from Spring Break. All the kids are rich, drive nice cars, have cell phones, beepers, and etc. The gossip is flying from all of the things that happened over...

Pros: Atypical of more recent high school dramas in that is doesn't completely suck.
Cons: Rachel-Leigh-Cook as a dweeb takes more suspension of disbelief than most of us can muster.

Let me begin be saying that I hyphenated Rachel Leigh Cook's name in the "cons" section in order to come in under the 15 word minimum. Take that Epinions!

Okay, this is the kind of movie that I would NEVER allow myself to pay good money for...

Pros: Some nice cinematography, Rachel Leigh Cook has a great wardrobe, Matthew Lillard's dancing is fun
Cons: Formulaic, cliché, shallow, uninteresting dialogue, plodding plot devices, unamusing jokes.

I finally watched 'She's all that' today. After relentlessly mocking the very idea of it, I thought it was time I saw it. I was hoping I'd hate it, and I'm pleased to announce that I do! There were, granted, some worrying moments at the beginning ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Rachael is supposed to play a geek, but she looks to hot!

We were in the classroom, and our teacher told us that she had rented a movie for us to watch, so we went down to the cinema (we have our own cinema at the school), and the movie was “She’s all that!”. I was excited, because I was actually going to rent...

Pros: movie is an effective paperweight
Cons: poor story, morals, ideas, everything

If there's any proof that Hollywood directors don't respect the teenage audience, it's the pathetic windbag of a film She's All That. I've bagged this film before in my epinions, and finally my pure hatred and rage towards this "film" (term ...

Pros: Made me happy
Cons: The cafeteria scene. Eww.

Ok, ok, so it's definitely a film aimed at the 16 and younger crowd. Ok, so I'm 23. I don't care, I LOVED this movie. I left the theater feeling so uplifted!
The premise: Zach Siler (the adorable Freddie Prinze, Jr.) has it all- nice car, nice...

Pros: a few laughs, decent story, Brock Hudson
Cons: its portrayal of artistic people

that 'She's All That' really is all that!

I had been putting off seeing this movie for a long time. I kept saying to myself, it's just some stupid teen flick and if I really wanted to see a romantic comedy, I'd see 'When Harry Met Sally' or...

Pros: Cute, fun film
Cons: If you don't like teeny flicks, it isn't for you.

WARNING: If you do not enjoy cheesy, cute teeny-bopper flicks, then don't bother reading any further, because it just isn't worth your time.

Okay, with that said, I assume those of you still reading enjoy the occasional teen cut-out...

Pros: Unique
Cons: Too much sexual content

This movie is your basic teen flick with a story line that's been done before. However, it does have some unique scenes that make it worth watching.

Plot

Zack (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is the most popular guy. He's dumped by the...

Pros: Rachael Leigh Cook's likable performance.
Cons: The sloppy direction and unoriginal story.

While watching the teen comedy She's All That, I fondly recalled the heyday of the Ricki Lake show a couple of years back, when just about every episode of the gabfest dealt with self-absorbed people who thought they were, well, all that....

Pros: Freddie Prince, Jr. good performance
Cons: Predictable and boring

"She's All That" is lacking any real substance and is merely a take off on "Pygmalian" or maybe "My Fair Lady". It does have a great sound track, but no singing. This is certainly appealing to teens, but those of us who are...

Pros: great one-liners, fun little story
Cons: were there any?...I don't think so

That's how many times I've watched and could continue to watch this movie. I'm not alone when I say this either as my sisters and our very good friends would second that motion. Even though we have come to know the story of Zach Sihler and Laney Boggs by...

Pros: Rachael Leigh Cook and some humorous moments.
Cons: Formulaic, predictable story line and characters that are annoying as all hell.
