Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed at the same high school as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997). Sarah Michelle Gellar, who plays Buffy in the series and who co-starred with Freddie Prinze Jr. in I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), has a small, non-speaking cameo. The same high school was used in Not Another Teen Movie (2001) that parodied this movie, in some cases line by line. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. later got married.
- GoofsWhen Taylor is walking with her friends she talks about being prom queen but during this "speech" her mouth does not match what she is saying.
- Quotes
Laney Boggs: I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. You know, except for the whole hooker thing.
- Crazy creditsAcknowledgments of individuals in the end-credits are headed "They're All That". This list includes an acknowledgment of Sarah Michelle Gellar whose cameo appearance is otherwise uncredited.

Featured review
That the IMDb score is way too low speaks I think to the fact that the intended audience for the film was ... disappointed. Perhaps expectations were too high? Perhaps this story had been done once too often. But the odd fact (and the thrust of this review) is that the film is memorable because the stars rise above the material .... before they themselves burn out and lapse into film obscurity.
It was an odd confluence of talent. Director Iscove is well respected in TV but this remains one of his only shots at a feature. Prinze, who had pretty much owned the casting niche he was in, was 23 at the time the film was made and arguably long in the tooth for a high schooler. Nonetheless the chemistry between him and Leigh-Cook was powerful and that chemistry held the movie up when the dialog and the mugging by the other actors let it down.
It's all timing. Leigh-Cook never really made the transition to films after, but kept very busy with TV. Prinze never really made the transition, period, but he's still a young guy and who knows? The Pygmalion thing has been done to death but oddly Iscove, Prinze and Leigh-Cook kept it alive for one more outing. Entertaining.
