What happens

She's All That is a 1999 American teen romantic comedy film directed by Robert Iscove. It stars Freddie Prinze Jr., Rachael Leigh Cook, Matthew Lillard, Paul Walker, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Kevin Pollak, Usher Raymond, Kimberly "Lil' Kim" Jones, and Anna Paquin. In the film, Zack Siler (Prinze Jr.) is a popular high school student who, after being dumped by his girlfriend, accepts a bet from his friend to transform Laney Boggs (Cook), a nerdy outcast, into the prom queen in six weeks. It is a modern adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion and George Cukor's 1964 film My Fair Lady. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the lead actors, but were critical of the script. It was one of the most popular teen films of the late 1990s and reached number one at the box office in its first week of release. It went on to earn $103.2 million worldwide. After featuring in the film, the song "Kiss Me" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed in the top 10 for 16 weeks. A gender-swapped remake, titled He's All That, was released on Netflix on August 27, 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
