What critics compared He's All That to
She’s All That , the 1999 film from which He’s All That has spun off, is a charming encapsulation of late 90s-teendom, and while it’s not the strongest film of its time (that honor goes to 10 Things I Hate About You ), there is something that makes it breezily palatable.
As turn-of-the-millennium-era teen comedies go, the original "She's All That" (1999) was never exactly my cup of tea--I preferred the likes of "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999), "Josie and the Pussycats" (2000) and the unjustly overlooked "Get Over It" (2000) myself.
In the 1990s, when teen films were interested in adapting classic works of literature into stories about the pains of being in high school, we got Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You and She’s All That.
There are a few nods to "She's All That," starting with Rachel Leigh Cook, the "She" of the 1999 film, as the mother of the main character, a popular high school senior and social media influencer named Padgett Sawyer (Addison Rae).
He’s All That takes advantage of social media in this gender-swapped present-day remake of the 1999 high school comedy, She’s All That .
In an entertainment ecosystem churning with reboots and remakes, a revamp of the 1999 romantic comedy She’s All That , now starring TikTok celebrity Addison Rae, seems like just another entry in the vast sea.
