He's All That premieres Friday, Aug. 27 on Netflix.
He's All That, a reworked and gender-flipped reboot of 1999's teen rom-com She's All That, is a deftly charming and capable update that takes the original premise, revolving around a glow-up "makeover" bet, and slides it effortlessly into 2021.

Rae and Buchanan work very well together, as he begins to soften and smile and she -- well, see, she's always been a good person. Mostly. There's an element of Padgett's online personality that requires a bubbly and ever-positive demeanor, but that's also Padgett's factory setting. She's able to connect with Cameron, to his surprise, because she's not the person most people think she is. The romance here comes easily and naturally, and the film smartly leans heavily on the winning charisma of these two. It's a reboot that has a few nudging nods to the original but also stands on its own as just an adorable and appealing story.
Original She's All That stars Cook and Matthew Lillard also appear in supporting roles, but not as their O.G. characters, as this isn't a legacy sequel.

Here, simply playing Padgett's hard-working nurse mom, Cook can be a supportive wisdom-dispenser without the baggage of being Laney. Lillard's earnestly befuddled principal, meanwhile, makes for a silly third act scene stealer.
He's All That has a good head on its shoulders, providing an endearing update of the 1999 original with a time-honored "opposites attract" formula. Addison Rae and Tanner Buchanan are magnetic leads in this reboot that pays homage to the first film, but fully stands on its own. It manages to cut through modern high school b.s. while transforming tw...
