She's All That

She's All That is so rooted in our cultural understanding of teen movies that a world without it now seems unimaginable.

A high school drama that accurately reflects the intense pressures that 17-year-olds feel about their senior prom: from whom they are going with, to what direction their lives will take afterward.

Uneven "ugly duckling" teen flick.

She's All That feels like it could have been made by a team of septuagenarians from the glory days of American Intl. Pictures.

It's often impossible to distinguish what's meant to be cartoonish from what's meant to be dramatic, but the confusion seems appropriately adolescent.

This movie is mean spirited

She's All That remains an iconic text of the late 90s: anchored by two likeable leads, the film has bad gender politics but features two of the best dance sequences in YA film

...a sluggish comedy that contains few, if any, elements worth getting excited about or interested in...

While far from a feminist masterpiece, She's All That stands the test of time better than most of its '90s contemporaries in the genre.
