annachrisanthak It was a classic teen movie with hundreds of clichés ! we have seen the same story again and again and still it was watched with pleasure ! it is not easy to be bored with a movie like that ... i would not recommend it someone who is not into chick- flicks ! the 90s were a great decade for films like that so there are some interesting points made ! the problem is that there was nothing standing out about this movie not the cast , not the plot line !after all i enjoyed watching it but there are far better movies of this type you should watch first P.S. See that movie before you see "not another teen movie" because even though it is a funny movie it contains many spoilers

utgard14 Silly but fun teen romantic comedy about a high school jock (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) who bets his friend (Paul Walker) that he can turn a geek (Rachael Leigh Cook) into the prom queen. Flimsy updating of Pygmalion is hard to hate. It doesn't take itself seriously in the least. Yeah it's absolutely ridiculous that Rachael Leigh Cook, an exceptionally pretty girl, would be considered unattractive just because she wears glasses and overalls. But you just roll with it because it's cute and fun. The cast is very likable and the script is good for this type of movie. Matthew Lillard steals pretty much every scene he's in. It's fluff but you'll be smiling when it's over. Can't see the harm in that.

lisafordeay I was just thinking about this movie now in my head and so I might as well do a review on it. The film is about a high school jock named Zachary(Prinze Jr) who's girlfriend is in love with another man(played by Matthew Lillard who also teamed up with Prinze Jr 3 year later to do Scooby Doo). Of course his heartbroken when Zachary's girlfriend dumps him for Lillard's character. SO he decides that his mates(one played by the late Paul Walker) can change any nerdy girl into a prom queen for Zach to take to the prom as part of a bet(like that other film that was released the same year 10 things I hate about you starring the late Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles). Zach of course stumbles across a young nerdy girl played by Rachel Cook who is a rather moody individual who likes to paint and be creative. But when Zachary's sister (played by Anna Paquin)gives her a makeover,Zac falls in love with her. But is it for real or is it only for the bet?Overall it was a cute harmless chick flick and its worth checking out if you like Freddie Prinze Jr. Oh and keep an eye out for Sarah Michelle Gellar(Prinze Jr's wife in real life) and global superstar Usher aka Usher Raymond and Lil Kim(another singer) who star in this chick flick too.

Wuchak "She's All That" (1999) is a school dramedy/romance flick -- more drama than comedy -- about a pretty, but outcast, mousy girl (Rachael Leigh Cook) who suddenly has a couple of popular guys interested in taking her to the prom (Freddie Prinze Jr. and Paul Walker). Their motivations are questionable and it stirs up the hot vixen of the school (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe). Matthew Lillard, Anna Paquin and Lil Kim are also featured.The cast is great and this is a worthy story about a social outcast coming out of hiding, so to speak. But the potential depth of the plot needed fleshed-out more and the film's just too sentimental for my tastes -- numerous moments where characters share deep feelings, etc. Don't get me wrong, I can get into some share-your-feelings type scenes, but I didn't care enough about the characters here to make it meaningful or engrossing.Still, the message is good and the main cast members are superb. Plus there's no raunch, which is refreshing. Those who enjoy sentimentality will appreciate it more than I did.The film runs 95 minutes and was shot in the greater Los Angeles area (Redondo Beach, Malibu, Torrance and Cerritos).GRADE: C+ or B-
