Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

A teen comedy that actually puts a priority on intelligence and values and spans generations in its appeal, emerging as a special delight for anyone for whom high school was something less than nirvana. [29 Jan 1999, p.6]

David Sterritt

This teenage "Pygmalion" is predictable and a bit gawky, and some won't like its flashes of gross-out humor. The cast is appealing, though, and there are a few hilarious jokes tucked in around the edges of the plot. [05 Feb 1999: 14]

Keith Phipps

You have to give She's All That points for unironically staying true to its genre in its purest form, one Kevin Williamson-like bit of dialogue aside. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

About one idea short of being an excellent teenage romance. As it stands it's a pleasing but routine effort. Read full review

Joe Holleman

All that complexity backfires at about the midpoint, leaving viewers with a standard yarn about a popular guy who makes a grossly insensitive wager after his trophy girlfriend drops him. After that, it is all a case of "been there, done that." [29 Jan 1999,p. E3]

David Baron

Dialogue is often stilted (and fraught with unlikely outbursts of speechifying) and the ending hardly soars, but Cook, a near-ringer for the young Winona Ryder, has a shyly appealing personality and O'Keefe makes a villainess you'll love to hiss. [29 Jan 1999, p.L24]

Marc Savlov

Shoddily constructed out of bits and pieces of previous genre triumphs, She's All That is as dull and droning as the fluorescent lighting in your old study hall. Read full review

The movie is predictable and it doesn't bring anything new to the teenager love/romance genre.But, the movie was still surprisingly enjoyable with a surprising yet amazing cast and some few laughs here and there.

Sure the story is flawed and cliche, but the important part about a movie like this is the characters. Whereas other high school comedies' characters are the worst part about them, for She's All That they stand out as enjoyable and believe it or not relatable.
Undeniably enjoyable. 8/10
