He’s All That! (A Moview)

Talk about latest and trending, there’s this movie that was actually a remake of the 1999 movie “She’s All That” in which after the popular guy loses his girlfriend and social status, he went on a bet to make an unpopular girl in the campus be the PROM Queen and later on get his status back and maybe more than that as well. We all know those 90s teenage movies, like the Clueless movie as well and many more, these are the kind of movies we all grew up watching. It’s where the popular do a makeover to the geeky or not so beauty person in the campus and make them part of the society only for them to realized that they were part of the bet. Obviously many movies have done that through out the years and surprisingly, here’s another attempt of doing such but in the modern 2021 world. Uh, when I say 2021, I mean, this is the era where social media is ruling everything. Like 90s shows doesn’t have social media, instead they only have those flip or sliding phones where they talk to each other, trying to plan stuff and other things unlike now, high schoolers will just post everything on Instagram, Snapchat and people can view their stories even the ones whom they don’t know.

So let’s the movie, as you all know I don’t need to talk about the plot because we all know how it begins and ends but let’s talk about the actors especially the ones who are actually from the Tiktok world

who made it to the big screen. we all know whom I am actually talking about. Everyone’s reviews about the movie is all about her, which I find it quite a little too over because in the movie there is also Madison Pettis who played The Rock’s daughter in the movie Game Plan, which I definitely watch every now and then coz it’s such a great movie. I can’t believe she is actually back into acting, making her name in the industry again. And like, she grew up so beautiful.

Anyway, back to our main character, Addison Rae, who is currently famous in tiktok and well, in other social media platforms. She’s known as one of the Tiktokers who post tiktok dances every day. I’m not against getting the big break that she deserves but I don’t think that is in acting, like I think she needs more than that. Although, I commend her, she’s better than others, like I believe in the long run, she will learn more than being awkward and a little odd when it comes to acting.

The movie is great, cameos of other famous people, especially Rachael Leigh Cook (with a excited high toned voice of mine as I write this) Well, hello, for those who don’t know who she is, she’s the one who played Laney Boggs in the movie She’s All That! Yes! That she is, well, like obviously, I got more excited when I saw she’s playing Addison’s character’s mom, Yay! Well have you seen Brock Hudson? Yes he was there too as the principal, if you really have watched the first movie it is quite easy to tell. And how about Kourtney Kardashian who plays as Padgett’s boss, nothing exciting about that but I love Kourtney and yeah, she already said it that she’s not goon in acting so we don’t need to blame her for that but it’s a good thing she did a cameo coz yeah, could’ve been more believable if a Kardashian is in your social media related movie coz the Ks are literally the social media queens.

Well, this is is a romance movie, supposed to be, yes? but sadly, I didn’t quite get the chemistry between Addison and Tanner who is playing Cameron. There’s no chemistry or whatsoever so it was quite awkward like I’m just watching a simple movie that is all about high school. However, the cinematography is great, kudos to that. I believe there’s so much more potential that could’ve been given to this movie which I believe they could fix in the future. All in all, the movie is okay, not that bad but not that so good too, although I want to give 83% wonderroanne rating.

And if you haven’t watched She’s All That, well, before you watch this, then you should watch that first coz there’s nothing bad on watching the original first.
