Plot Summary

Popular social media influencer Padgett Sawyer accepts a challenge to turn the school's least popular student, Cameron Kweller, into prom king. In doing so, she risks her own reputation and discovers that popularity isn't everything.

Critical Reception

He's All That received generally negative reviews from critics, who often cited its predictable plot and lack of originality, while praising the performances of its young cast. Audiences, however, seemed to enjoy the lighthearted and modern take on the classic Pygmalion story.

What Reviewers Say

  • A by-the-numbers remake that struggles to find its own voice.
  • While the leads offer some charm, the film is ultimately a shallow rehash of a familiar story.
  • Lacks the wit and heart of its predecessor, despite a modern social media gloss.

Google audience: Google users generally found the film to be a fun, if unoriginal, teen comedy. Many appreciated the updated take on the classic story and the chemistry between the main actors, though some felt it was predictable and didn't offer much new.

Fun Fact

The film is a modern, gender-flipped remake of the 1999 teen comedy 'She's All That', which itself was a loose adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's play 'Pygmalion'.
