Full reviewShe's All That is about one idea short of being an excellent teenage romance. As it stands it's a pleasing but routine effort.
Full reviewWhile there are a few good jokes and sight gags along the way, the main impression left by She's All That is how numbingly consistent its lack of originality is.
Full reviewShe's All That is essentially a formulaic comedy, but it has enough glimmerings of originality and wit to make you wish it were much bolder and funnier than it turns out to be.
Full reviewTo give the movie credit, it's as bored with the underlying plot as we are. Even the prom queen election is only a backdrop for more interesting material, as She's All That explores differences in class and style, and peppers its screenplay with very funny little moments.
Full reviewThe two stars are like cool kids pretending to be tortured poets pretending to be cool. Neither can match the screen presence — the shameless self-infatuated ebullience — of Matthew Lillard, who does a wickedly grotesque turn as Brock Hudson, a kind of goggle-eyed Puck manqué in the film's dead-on send-up of "The Real World."
Full reviewShe's All That, like so many teen movies before it, seems to have been carelessly tossed together over the course of a couple of weekends...
Full reviewWhat really saves "She's All That" from being just another why-good-heavens-you're-beautiful piece of piffle, however, is the way its lesser elements sparkle. The romantic comedy may be predictable, but director Iscove's over-the-top parody of faux celebrity -- by way of Lillard's gleefully preening, partying, getting-sensitive-for-the-camera ex-Real Worlder -- is a hoot.
Full reviewShe's All That is available to stream in Australia now on Stan and Netflix and Google Play and Apple TV and Foxtel and Binge and Prime Video Store and Paramount+.
