Watch He's All That

He's All That is a 2021 romantic comedy movie directed by Mark Waters and written by R. Lee Fleming Jr. The movie serves as a gender-flipping remake of the 1999 teen comedy film She's All That with a modern twist. The new movie stars social media sensation Addison Rae in her debut leading role, Tanner Buchanan, Madison Pettis, Rachael Leigh Cook, and Matthew Lillard.

The plot follows a high school influencer named Padgett Sawyer (Addison Rae), who accepts a wager from her best friend to turn a nerdy and socially awkward classmate, Cameron Kweller (Tanner Buchanan), into the prom king. Padgett is a famous social media personality who is known for her makeup tutorials, lifestyle advice, and trendy outfits on her channel. However, after her ex-boyfriend humiliates her in a live video, she loses her credibility and followers. In an attempt to get her reputation back, Padgett agrees to the bet to transform Cameron into a confident and popular guy before prom.

Cameron is an introverted artist who doesn't fit in with the popular crowd. He lost his parents in a car accident and lives with his overprotective sister, Brin (Madison Pettis), who works as a nurse to support them. At first, Cameron refuses Padgett's offer and thinks it's a cruel and shallow idea. However, when he becomes the laughing stock of the whole school after a disastrous dance performance, he changes his mind and agrees to let Padgett make him over.

Throughout the movie, Padgett and Cameron try to navigate their new relationship as they get closer and work on his makeover. Padgett teaches Cameron how to dress better, groom himself, and act more confident in front of others. They start to bond over their similar struggles and family issues. Padgett also starts to realize that she may have misjudged Cameron and that he has a lot of potential. However, Padgett's ex-boyfriend, Jordan (Peyton Meyer), and her arch-rival, Alden (Isabella Crovetti), try to sabotage their plan and ruin their chances of winning the prom king and queen titles.

As the day of the prom arrives, Padgett and Cameron have to face their insecurities and reveal their true selves to their schoolmates. They both deliver heartfelt speeches that inspire their peers, and the audience is left wondering if they will be crowned as prom king and queen, and if their love story will continue beyond high school.

The movie tackles themes of self-acceptance, stereotypes, and social media influence. It shows how social media can affect self-esteem and create unrealistic expectations for people, especially teenagers. It also explores the idea that true beauty comes from within and that appearances can be deceiving. The chemistry between Addison Rae and Tanner Buchanan is charming and believable, and they both deliver solid performances.

Overall, He's All That is a lighthearted and entertaining movie that will appeal to fans of teen rom-coms and social media culture. It has a fresh and diverse cast, catchy soundtrack, and fun dance scenes. Although it follows a predictable formula, it still manages to bring some new elements to the genre and deliver a positive message for young viewers.
