His fake tantrums, whiter than Vanilla Ice homeboy patter, and wrist flinging dirty dancing are a heap more fun than any makeover.
EW
3.1
She lurks in the basement painting large, dark canvases, and at first Zack doesnt realize hes really falling in love with her.
Rogerebert
1.0
As dull and droning as the fluorescent lighting in your old study hall.
1.3
And once, just once, Id love to see a teen flick that doesnt send out a message to young girls that to be acceptable, you have to conform.
San Francisco Chronicle
2.0
The rest is just breezy propaganda for American high school fascism.
3.0
A hollow good time, some laughs, some semi tender moments and a couple of appealing leads.
JoBlo
1.5
Only Prinze, who has the ethereal, gentlemanly quality of a young Anthony Perkins, gets enough screen time to really make an impression.
Village Voice
2.5
Those who enjoy this basic material will probably appreciate Shes All That its a competent regurgitation of a familiar plot.
ReelViews
3.8
Iscoves film has its own brand of charm and is reasonable enough in its ambitions that its awfully hard to resist.
Tv Guide
3.1
Shes All That is not likely to make a mark or be remembered by anyone for very long, but its harmless enough and useful for finding the finer points o ..

2.8
There are a few twists in the plot, but it is pretty standard stuff.
Lariat
4.5
A very entertaining and touching film and one of the better efforts in the recent class of teen flicks.

1.3
To make matters worse, theres no trace of originality or freshness here.
Deseret News (Salt Lake Ci ..
1.5
Meanders sweetly towards its inevitable conclusion, telling its viewers exactly what they want to hear.
Internet Reviews
3.5
The movie is hardly an Oscar contender but is fast moving with live wire dialogue spoken by articulate kids.
Internet Reviews
1.5
Shes All That is a laughable film and one that doesnt need a spoof to show how idiotic it tends to be.
Cinema Crazed
4.5
In the process of discovering each other, both Laney and Zack learn that its as OK to change as it is to stay the same, perhaps even better.
Salon
1.5
The film does have a kind of begrudging charm about it, once it gets over some woeful teen clichs and plot implausibilities.
1.9
Factor in a lack of sparks between Prinze and Cook, and one is left with a romantic comedy with little in the way of romance.
Mr Brown Movies
1.5
I wouldnt blame you at all, though, if you didnt stop to think about it.
Cnn
0.0
A completely common and utterly excruciating high school ugly duckling romance so grossly out of touch with the times that even the title is passe.
Spliced Wire
3.1
If youre a teen and you like MTVs The Real World, I think you might enjoy this picture.
Ross Anthony
4.5
Shes All That is so rooted in our cultural understanding of teen movies that a world without it now seems unimaginable.
Refinery 29
2.5
I gotta admit that its kinda enjoyable, in a sugarcoated lil story for a rainy afternoon way, but still...
Montreal Film Journal
2.0
The dance stops eventually, and then those darn kids start talking again. Way to ruin the mood.
Film Quips Online
1.5
Its often impossible to distinguish whats meant to be cartoonish from whats meant to be dramatic, but the confusion seems appropriately adolescent.
Chicago Reader
3.8
This then, is the sunniest high school picture since Clueless, although it lacks that films topical sense of humor.
Articles Chicago Tribune
2.8
Its wretchedly predictable, inconsistently funny and not always well written.
Film Blather
2.5
Every early attempt at proving this wont be a standard teen flick is eventually negated by a cop out later on in the film.
Aisle Seat
3.0
Fortunately, Prinze and Cook offer up a good deal of adolescent charm, and they have a curious chemistry together.
Rochester Goes Out
3.0
Theres nothing really wrong with Shes All That, just too little going thats actually right.
Nitrate Online
3.1
It seems one dimensional, as if she doesnt care whether she succeeds in beating Taylor or not.
Cinema Phile
3.5
Contains just enough of a message about self worth and honesty to lend some moral nutrition to the entertainment calories it provides so capably.
Net Flix
3.1
Shes All That showcases a pair of bright young stars whose charms partially camouflage a predictable plot.
2.8
No surprise here: Laney gets a makeover and turns into a babe and a half. Zack realizes what a manipulative jerk he is, and Taylor returns for the pre ..

2.5
As someone whos absorbed probably every teen movie of the last 20 years, I can tell you with some confidence that this one doesnt measure up.
Angel Fire
4.5
While far from a feminist masterpiece, Shes All That stands the test of time better than most of its 90s contemporaries in the genre.
