Once again, a filmmaker has tried to obtain the success that John Hughes achieved in the 80s with films like The Breakfast Club and Some Kind Of Wonderful. And once again, a filmmaker has not succeeded.
Much like last year's Can't Hardly Wait, this film is devoid of any originality. In fact, it was downright dull. Even the semi-talented cast couldn't keep this one afloat. Zack (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is the smartest guy in school. His buddies bet him that he will not be able to turn the school nerd (Rachel Leigh Cook) into the prom queen. Guess who wins that bet.
She's All That is a completely contrived mess that stumbles from one scene to the next. It's as if the filmmakers themselves were bored with the material. The standout in the cast is Matthew Lillard (Scream) as a goofy actor who gets his kicks by watching himself on MTV's The Real World. Ultimately, his character is pointless, as are most of them in this snore-fest. However, the worst part about the film is that Prinze Jr. and Cook have no chemistry. Most of John Hughes' films put a smile on my face. This one gave me a look of disappointment.
