He's All That (2021) User Reviews (877)

The 'loser' was hot even before the makeover

[matt-27634 · 3/10 · 27 August 2021]

What a cringeworthy remake.

The original does not age well, and whilst this remake is a fun idea, overall it fails.

Taking off his beanie and getting a haircut isn't exactly a makeover and besides, he's super hot already. Are we meant to believe that wearing a beanie and having long hair makes you a loser? HIS HAIR WAS BEAUTIFUL!

And why on earth is Kourtney Kardashian in it? So random.

Why?

[yusufpiskin · 3/10 · 1 September 2021]

This movie is an insult to 'She's All That'.

The movie is so bad that it's ridiculous to even call it a 'movie'.

It's ironic that the actors and actresses in the movie represent in their real lives everything the movie criticizes.

I have to watch the 'She's All That' DVD this weekend.

Painfull

[Calicodreamin · 3/10 · 30 August 2021]

As an adult I should not have watched this movie, to a young person it might have been tolerable and relevant. However, in my opinion it was painful. The acting was stiff and the actors had no chemistry. The storyline was expected, but some really laughable moments - prom dance off? Is that even a thing?

Too much cringe.

[tanim-95065 · 1/10 · 28 August 2021]

I cringed so hard that my soul climbed out of my body and now I'm doomed to roam the earth as a ghost, cringing for all eternity.

Forced to watch

[mburt93 · 1/10 · 28 August 2021]

The reviews are more entertaining than the movie. That's my review.

THE ONLY GOOD ACTING IN THIS MOVIE WAS FROM THE HORSE!!!!!

[mkay93 · 1/10 · 27 August 2021]

What was this movie? Didn't even make sense one bit. Terrible acting from Addison. The scene transitions, the angles, the story line, the gen Z infested bs & the random dance off lmao.. it was a hot mess!!! I was looking forward to this all week and it was a big let down. DO NOT WATCH.

Watch the 1999 movie instead.

[kreminal · 27 August 2021]

This movie is so bad. TBH, it doesn't even feel like a movie, it's just like some type of a vlog or school project. The acting, especially Addison Rae's, is terrible. Everything else - extremely cringe and awkward. Zero chemistry, weird camera angles... Just watch anything else instead.

Alright

[risbyceonna · 7/10 · 27 August 2021]

I'll admit this movie did get a bit cliche at times but it wasn't bad. It felt like I was watching a Disney movie. I do like the message of the movie and the chemistry between the actors was great. I do recommend if you want a cute and cheesy love story.

Everyone can act

[zoecid · 1/10 · 27 August 2021]

Apparently everyone can act, honestly start looking for talented actors instead of looking for TikTokers.

Good, light film

[hachoocashoo · 7/10 · 6 September 2021]

I was surprised that so many people think Addison Rae can't act. I thought she did as good of a job as any of the other actors. Maybe people are jealous. Immature audience?

I personally liked it enough to watch it in one sitting. It was entertaining.

Cringe af

[nikitasanjay92 · 2/10 · 27 August 2021]

Matthew Lillard was better in the 10 minutes he was around then all the other "teens" through the rest of the movie.

I went into this with low expectations and was still disappointed. It was good if you wanted a braindead watch but the ending with the horse.... god so cringe.

The writing and acting were horrendous. The two original actors carried every scene they were in with the exception of the little sister.

A good way to remove a few extra brain cells

[ah-10757 · 10/10 · 3 October 2021]

I gained too much knowledge from my Physics lecture that I was stressed and always had headaches. However when I watched this movie I slowly felt my IQ oozing out of my brain as my brain neurons begged for help, I now live in a cave den in Southwestern Ethiopia and has to forage rocks and discarded animals corpses to survive.

A cute movie!

[CassC0821 · 7/10 · 7 September 2021]

I really don't get all the hate and bad reviews. Was it corny? Yes! Was it predictable? Yes! But it's a teen rom-com. Every movie like this is corny and predictable lol. I feel like everyone really needs to lighten up and stop being such angry critics. If you're going into this expecting an Oscar winning film then that is your mistake right there. It's a fluff move just meant to make you smile. I thought it was adorable. None of these types of movies have the best or deepest acting skills but it was entertaining and really nicely updated to fit today's social media world. I'm a huge fan of the original and I was anticipating really hating this remake but I have to be honest I totally loved it. Good job on the story! My only critique could possibly be that everything felt a little sped up to fit into the short runtime of the film, but other than that a very cute movie. I will definitely watch this again!

Ouch.

[RBree · 1/10 · 29 August 2021]

Holy cow this movie is terrible.

Between being rushed, terrible dialogue, and no chemistry between the characters.. Product placement and the couple big names in the movie are the only way this thing was made. Its basically a parody of She's All That. When will society learn that not everyone that gets famous on social media has actual talent?

As bad as expected

[celestine_schachenmann · 1/10 · 27 August 2021]

Bad dialogue, unrealistic reactions, cringe all the way, way too much product placements. Was this written and directed by a teenager?

Too many sponsored items

[tahaney-76603 · 1/10 · 27 August 2021]

The whole movie all I could see was sponsors. The water, pop corn, chips, drinks.... You name it. The movie sucked I thought it would be way more fun and I found myself not impressed at all.

CRINGE ALERT

[rouxb-90222 · 1/10 · 28 August 2021]

First let me say, I had no idea who the lead was. Five minutes into the movie I was beyond frustrated; who is this female lead and why do her acting skills remind me of a local waitress auditioning for a milk ad in the 1960s? Then I looked the cast and boom, it all made sense. I should've expected nothing less. This movie had all the aspects of an unrealistic, poorly written, amateurish, predictable, high budget but with untalented casting staff movie. What's the point of saturating a movie with famous actors for views? Unfortunately I'm unable to regain the hour and half I wasted clenching my jaws, awkwardly glancing at my imaginary friends around the room as I react to every minute that passes of this movie. If I could give zero stars this movie would be a suitable place to start. Tell a friend to tell a friend, save them the future dental work....(teeth grinding)

It's too late for me, save yourselves

[smhhooper · 29 August 2021]

I am too ancient it seems to know who Addison Lee is but she's no Freddie PJ. This lack of context meant I thought the bizarre hyper unrealism of her acting was going to be revealed as a plot point. What a grave misconception to imagine this film had anything like so much substance. I won't spoil anything in case anyone is mad enough to be reading these reviews and still watch, but I am about to take a long hard look in the mirror for making it through this film without throwing up.

Oddly however this did pass the Kermode six laugh test for me, a one liner from an underused elderly relative woke me up and laughter of at least five times the duration emerged during the denouement. Not sure if that counts actually, please don't bother. As for the preposterous physique of the "loser" leading man and patronising nods towards diversity I have no words. Oh a kardashian pops up.

Tanner Buchanan Carried The Movie

[amanda79-2 · 6/10 · 29 August 2021]

Tanner Buchanan, Rachel Leigh Cook, and Matthew Lillard were the best parts of this movie. Tanner carried the movie, everything else was sub par. Note to Hollywood, TikTok star doesn't equal good female lead.

Worst movie ever distributed by Netflix, Addison Rae was a mistake for the lead

[trenters · 1/10 · 29 August 2021]

Addison Rae tried method acting for this role. The method did not work.

Ps, You're better off enjoying this movie with a blindfold on and the music turned up.

A nice chilled film

[francescabull · 6/10 · 17 February 2023]

I enjoyed this film and I've watched it twice, it's relaxing and the two lead characters have good chemistry. Addison Rae brings a lot of charisma to the role and this makes the film uplifting. The music is fun and the filming is nice to watch. The story is simple and that's what you'd want when you want to wind down. I don't really understand all the negative reviews as I found this enjoyable to watch. The outfits are interesting, there's a dance-off, singing & dancing, a sweet mother-daughter relationship and an important message about how what you see on social media doesn't always match reality. Everything you'd want in an easy-to-watch movie!

Not everyone can act and produce a good movie 😬

[ayanelmi-65590 · 1/10 · 27 August 2021]

Dont waste your time. It wasnt good netflix should have thought this through and should have had common sense before releasing this their target audience had to have been gen z but none of us even liked it cuz of the casting no offence.

Funny well written comedy

[robinlterrell-77363 · 8/10 · 5 September 2021]

Really do not understand the rating. This was a very sweet story with funny well written dialogue and appealing characters.

Nothing oringal

[luke_maybury · 7/10 · 31 August 2021]

All I can say it that it's the same as every other teen/high school film and the douche bag of ex girlfriend to the main female character reminded me of Jake Paul.

Holy crap this is soooo bad

[kimbpaul · 1/10 · 3 September 2021]

And who the hell is Addison Rae? Somebody told her she could act...and forgot to add JK.
