Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

studioAT As a twist on the 'ugly duckling' story this is a decent enough romantic comedy, but one that can't help but look a little dated.Freddie Prince Jr made a few of this type of romantic comedies in the 90's and is on good form here, supported by Matthew Lillard and Dule Hill of West Wing fame.Once it gets over a slow first 30 mins it picks up considerably, with some nice scenes between Price Jr and Leigh Cook.It's not the best film ever made, but it's enjoyable enough viewing.

utgard14 Silly but fun teen romantic comedy about a high school jock (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) who bets his friend (Paul Walker) that he can turn a geek (Rachael Leigh Cook) into the prom queen. Flimsy updating of Pygmalion is hard to hate. It doesn't take itself seriously in the least. Yeah it's absolutely ridiculous that Rachael Leigh Cook, an exceptionally pretty girl, would be considered unattractive just because she wears glasses and overalls. But you just roll with it because it's cute and fun. The cast is very likable and the script is good for this type of movie. Matthew Lillard steals pretty much every scene he's in. It's fluff but you'll be smiling when it's over. Can't see the harm in that.

Danii Disaster Late 90s / early '00 produced some of my favorite movies ever, including some romantic teen comedies. But what the hell was this all about? Was this a PARODY for a teen flick? It certainly felt like it.They CAN'T be serious. I mean, who'd want to produce (or star in) something THIS lame?! It's outrageous! Honestly, I don't even know where to start.I won't say that this movie is full of clichés. It's fair to say that this whole "movie" IS one huge cliché. It's not a movie; it's a parody for a movie. And even as such, it fails miserably, because, if nothing else, it should AT LEAST be mildly amusing (if not funny), but there is ZERO humour in this stinker.It's not funny, it's not romantic, it's not realistic, it's not heart-warming, it's not dramatic, it's not... anything. It's just boing, lame, predictable, and annoying.The acting is nothing short of ATROCIOUS. Look at these people! How do they get acting jobs? I wouldn't cast them as extras in made-for-TV flicks! They're really, really, really bad. No, not just the leads; all of them! I shouldn't even bring up the fact that this "movie" defines the term "predictable"; it goes without saying. I guarantee you have not seen anything as disgustingly predictable and cheesy as this.No one deserves to be subjected to such moronic bulls***. It insults human intelligence. I had to watch an Arnie movie right after this, so I could get the stench of this piece of s*** out of my system.Urgh, people associated with this pathetic excuse for a movie, should be banned by law to work in the film industry.

capone666 She's All ThatThe only downside to being Prom Queen is that you can't behead any of your zit-faced subjects.Fortuitously, the Prom Queen in this teen-comedy is merely a pawn.Distraught over a break-up, Zach (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) makes a bet with his friend Dean (Paul Walker) that he can turn any female candidate into a royal consort before the prom.In charge of selecting a worthy contender, Dean decides on Laney (Rachael Leigh Cook), a dowdy art student.Accepting the challenge, Zach begins reworking the reject and eventually turns her into something very regal.But Zach's newfound feelings for Laney are jeopardized when she learns the truth.With doe eyed leads and a dumbed down plot, this slightly amusing adaptation of Pygmalion turns the ugly duckling anecdote on its ear.Besides, it doesn't matter who the Prom Queen is, the Prom King will inevitability be going home with the Prom Lady-in-Waiting.
