Zack and Padgett are the most popular students in their respective high schools, with the best grades, and a pretty much impeccable reputation, but their family backgrounds are very different. Zack comes from a rich family and falls into a teen-movie cliché as his father wants him to go to the same university as him to pretty much follow his steps,...
Just like Zack and Padgett, the family backgrounds of Laney and Cameron are very different. Laney wasn’t poor but she wasn’t wealthy like Zack, with her father having his own pool-cleaning business and her working at a fast-food restaurant to help with expenses. Laney lived with her father, Wayne (Kevin Pollak), and younger brother Simon (Kieran Cu...
The trigger of both stories and what leads Zack and Padgett to accept the bet is their breakups, which also happened under very different circumstances. Zack was dumped by Taylor following Spring Break, where she met reality TV star Brock Hudson (Matthew Lillard) and broke up with Zack when they went back to school.

After seeing Laney’s makeover, Dean decides to go after her just to mess with Zack and ends up going to the prom with her after revealing the bet in front of her and Zack. Alden, on the other hand, just wanted to take the tit...

Even with all the clichés and stereotypes, She’s All That is a b...

There's so little wit in the movies today. Too many characters speak in big, clunky declarative sentences that serve only to push the plot ahead of them, like people trying to shove their cars out of the snow. "She's All That" is not a great movie, but it has its moments.
