She's All That (1999): Prom

April 19, 2019

This movie sucks, but for some reason I love watching it. It's so late 90's and such a teen rom-com that I can't help but watch it at least once a year. It's a modern adaptation of Pygmalion. Freddie Prinze Jr makes a bet with his friends that he can take the biggest loser in the school and transform her into the prom queen. He picks Rachel Leigh Cook, who like, no matter how nerdy still looks like Rachel Leigh Cook and is beautiful. BUT she's artist and a feminist, GROSS. This movie is really dumb, but it was made in earnest and I appreciate it for what it is. This film ends with the prom and the entire thing builds up to the prom. Plus, the fact that there's a makeover makes it perfect for your prom watchlist. if you have such a thing.
