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
There are some movies that make me just stop what I'm doing and watch. Braveheart, Clear and Present Danger, Casino Royale, Godfather I and II, Goodfellas, Top Gun are just a few that come to mind. Not all are classics, but all have _something_ to them that engrosses me. She's All That is one of those movies.
Yes, Rachel Leigh Cook is so so cute. Fuggedaboudat. Watch her. See if she delivers one line as if she memorized it, as if she's repeating what someone else wrote. There's not one unnatural act or utterance from her. She is completely believable, and because her character rings so true, you cannot help but empathize with her, and that is what makes the movie -- when she wins out in the end, you're happy she did because she makes you care about her. She's as good as Kate Blanchett was in The Aviator (completely different movies, completely different roles, by Blanchett deservedly won an Oscar). She has that character absolutely nailed, you won't see - can't see -- a better performance.
(And for what it is worth, this may be Paul Walker's best performance. I credit the director for getting the performances that he did out of cast of young actors not generally known for their talent.) As for the rest of the movie, you've seen it before, but so what? Star Wars is Battle of Britain, set in the future with a backstory, no one holds that against it. The choreographed dance scene is great, and it IS well cast and it IS well acted, clichéd or not.
