She's All That

Director: Robert Iscove
Year Released: 1999
Rating: 0.5

Awful on such a sub-atomic level that it's almost useless dragging out the criticism. Hollywood remakes Pygmalion in the most inoffensive manner; Rachael Leigh Cook's brooding artist (guttersnipe?) isn't 'prettied up' as much as 'converted' from an introvert to an extrovert by überjock Freddie Prinze, Jr. - her painting represents the change from impersonal concern ('world events') to personal revelation ('Mom's death'). Yawn. I, myself, have a dream: to one day make the most realistic, depressing high school film ever - one in which everyone suffers to no end, and that puppy love is revealed to be the foolish mess it is - and call it Disposable Income.
