He's All That

About This Movie

He's All That is this light-hearted romp that leans heavily into the social media age, with a vibe that's both modern and fun. The pacing moves along briskly, keeping it in line with typical teen comedies. What I find distinct is how it flips the gender dynamics of the original 1999 film, She's All That, giving a fresh narrative twist. The performances are solid, especially from Addison Rae as the influencer, who captures that blend of charm and superficiality quite well. The practical effects are minimal, more focused on the transformation journey rather than flashy visuals. Themes of self-acceptance and the perils of social validation are woven throughout, creating a nice contrast with the comedic elements. It’s a nice slice of contemporary teenage life without getting too heavy.
