Ever since 1999, we have all enjoyed the teen RomCom She’s All That. Now, 21 years later it is back as He’s All That on Netflix.
Instead of school jock Freddie Prinze, Jr. making over the unpopular Rachel Leigh Cook, it is influencer Addison Rae giving a makeover to the anti-social Tanner Buchanan. It is not the gender swap that makes this movie better than the OG. Instead, there is something that is just so much sweeter and more endearing than the one that came first. It is probably because it is a more lighthearted feature, and there is an innocence to it.
Padgett Sawyer (Rae) has it all. She is popular in school and on social media, she gets good grades, and she has the perfect boyfriend, Jordan.
Jordan (Peyton Meyer) was a scrawny boy until he got a makeover from the Makeover Queen Padgett. Now, he is the most popular boy in school and online with his music videos that show off his super-toned body. So much so, he is recording a new one, and Padgett is going to surprise him on the set of it with her two BFFs, Quinn (Myra Molloy) and Alden (Madison Pettis).
As soon as they get there, they walk into his trailer and find him with another girl. Padgett loses it, and it is all caught live on social media. Not only does she lose followers, but she also loses the endorsement deal that was going to put her through college.
Therefore, she and her BFFs come up with a plan to get both of things back. She is going to make an unpopular boy so popular; he is going to be a Prom King.
Since this is a bet, Quinn and Alden are going to pick the victim, and they pick Cameron Kweller (Tanner Buchanan). He is sort of a loner except for his best friend, Nisha (Annie Jacob). The two of them hang out by themselves, and she watches him take photographs with his late mother’s camera.
Cameron also has a sister, Brin (Isabella Crovetti). She is a sophomore, and she wants to be popular, just like Padgett. Therefore, she won’t even acknowledge her brother at school.
Now that Padgett has her target, it is time for her to work her magic. First, she has to win him over. However, in the process, she finds herself being won over by him.
What happens when he finds out this was all a bet? Will Nisha and Brinn be able to help her get him back?
Will it help that even though she gave him a makeover on the outside, she got one on the inside? I can’t tell you. But I can tell you to stream it now on Netflix.
That and Rachel Leigh Cook plays her mom, who gets to hear Sixpence None the Richer’s Kiss Me. She is not the only one who appears in both movies. Matthew Lillard is back as the Principal. And yes, he has a dance scene. Not as epic as before, but still something that will make you smile.
Just like that movie that makes you smile from the beginning until the end. I enjoyed it so much that I watched it two times in a row. I plan on watching it again this weekend and next Sunday when I donate platelets at the Red Cross.
I know there will be haters. But once they watch it, they will fall in love with the movie and Rae, who did an outstanding job in her debut film. When it comes to Buchanan, I totally didn’t recognize him until after the makeover. And I have watched every episode of Cobra Kai.
The world is a pretty crappy place these days, and we need feel-good things to make us feel better. He’s All That is just what we all need. So sit back, Netflix & Chill to this movie two times because it is just what the doctor prescribed whenever you are feeling down.
The documentary is being described as, “Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed brings us the shockingly untold story of the prolific landscape artist and host of The Joy of Painting. With a keen appreciation for nature, and a kind and gentle demeanor, Bob Ross encouraged everyone he met to embrace their creativity and believe in themselves, becoming a cultural phenomenon along the way. The man who famously said that there were no mistakes – just happy accidents – has brought sheer delight to the world for decades. Beyond the iconic hair, soothing voice and nostalgic paintings lies a mystery that many have yet to discover.”
Will it be as shocking as those trees that the Happy Hippy Painter would add to his paintings? Or is it as beautiful as his masterpieces? We don’t know. But we will find out in eight days.
Is it wrong that I am worried about what we might find out because I love him so much?
The Kissing Booth kisses and tells its last story on Netflix starting today. In the third and final chapter Elle (Joey King) has to decide whether to go to the same college as her best friend Lee (Jacob Elordi) or her boyfriend and his brother, Noah (Joel Courtney).
When the second movie ended, she found out that she got into both Harvard and Berkley. Now, she has to make a choice that will hurt one brother, and she is going to avoid telling them that she has to. She and Lee have been saying they would go to Berkley ever since they could talk. However, now that she is doing more than talking with Noah, she also wants to go to Boston. She can’t do both, so which one will she choose?
A decision that becomes harder when she has to spend the whole summer with both brothers at their beach house. Their mom (Molly Ringwald) has decided to put the house on the market, and the three of them are going to prepare it for the sale.
While cleaning out the house, Lee and Elle find their Beach Bucket List from when they were kids. They decide to check off all of the items before they go away to college. The more items they finish, the more tension it causes in all of their relationships. To make matters worse for Elle, Marco (Taylor Zakhar Perez) is also spending the summer by the house. This makes Noah jealous. Does he have a right to be?
Not only is Elle dealing with all of this drama, but her dad (Stephen Jennings) also started dating again. To put it mildly, she doesn’t like it.
All of this will lead to Elle reaching a breaking point and making a decision that is best for her. But, what does that mean for all of the men in her life?
By the end of this movie, we will all be left satisfied. But what about Elle, Lee, Noah, and Marco? I can’t tell you, what fun would that be. However, I will tell you, it didn’t end like I thought I would, but I really enjoyed how they wrapped up the franchise. I just wish we could get a The Kissing Booth 4, 5, 6, and so on.
Whether you have seen the first two movies or not, you can spend the day binging all three together. What else is there to do between the heat and COVID-19’s Delta variant? At least these films give us hope and remind us what kissing is. Remember that?
The first trailer is out for Netflix’s take of She’s All That, and I am not sure how I feel about He’s All That with Tanner Buchanan and Addison Rae.
I mean, I know I want to hate it because I am one of those people who is like, leave a good thing alone. However, the streaming service’s teen movies are like really good.
I am like totally conflicted. I don’t know what to think. Are you going to up at like midnight to watch it on August 27th, or will you be sleeping instead?
