A high school jock makes a bet that he can turn an unattractive girl into the school’s prom queen.

Okay, I recently reviewed He’s all That which currently on Netflix and I suppose considering that She’s al That is also Netflix its only fair that I review it also. I suppose the question that needs to be asked is has She’s all That aged badly? Not yet, as you expect from a teen movie it served up the usual dose of cheesiness but judging by a handful of scenes it wouldn’t surprise me there are certain people on twitter who might not look to favourably on them. Yes, there were some awkward scenes to watch but I did not find myself laughing at scenes that were meant to be taken seriously unlike with He’s all That. One of my biggest gripes with this movie that when the bet is made between Zack and Dean the stakes of their bet is never explicitly stated, sure the reveal at the end of the movie is good for a chuckle but if the stakes where actually known it would have helped with the tension of the movie. The Prom scene in She’s all That is perhaps a little more tropey then the Prom in He’s all That and the group dancing in She’s all That certainly came across as less violent, possibly because if movie trivia pages are anything to go by the dance number was only added to pad out the movie.The role of Brock seemed that it was written with only Matthew Lillard in mind, it was great to see Paul Walker cast as a bad boy in this (was Walker ever cast in any other villainous roles? I can’t remember) and however small his role was I loved Kevin Pollock as Laney’s Dad. This is still a watchable movie and for those of you out there with too much time on their hands and a Netflix account I’d suggest watching this back-to-back with He’s all That in an afternoon.
