 | Okay, so like every other teen-romance movie on the market it's predictable, but lovable indeed! First off, the director couldn't have cast the roles better. Freddie Prinze, Jr. is perfect for the role of Zack and a perfect portrayal of today's ideal of a popular jock. And, Rachel Leigh Cook does a more than wonderful job going from geek to chic. Her wit and charm really shine in her role of Laney. Now, on to the story. Like I said before, it's predictable. First off, we see Zack (school stud and senior class president) get brutally dumped by his girlfriend, Taylor. Everyone knows, or has known a Taylor. Like Zack says, strip away all that attitude and makeup and all you have is a C- average in a wonder bra. And, according to Zack with the right look and guy by her side anyone girl can reign the title of prom queen. However, Zack's not so helpful best friend, Dean, disagrees. So, the bet was made and the race was on. So, who was going to be Zack's "extreme makeover?" None other than art student and not so graceful, Laney Boggs. After trials and tribulations Laney finally gets nominated and runs against Taylor for the queen's crown. Everything's perfect. Zack has turned Laney into the perfect girlfrind, and the lovable girl to win the votes. But, will this happily-ever-after be crumbled to shreads when Dean spills the beans on the bet just to throw Zack a curve ball? Does Laney defeat Taylor? You have to watch. It may be predictable, but it's a movie like none other! You should sit through it- atleast once! |

| Oh oh kiss me benieath the milikings while i lay me under de de you wear those shoes and I will wear that dress oh oh. I love that song while it was overplayed in 1999 it is great now. This movie is about a hunk ( the guy from Scobby doo with the blond hair) who gets dumped by this quasi hot chick and then he take a bet with the guy who i think is fast and furious that he can take any broad and make her the HC Queen. Enter the lovely face and legs of americans 1999 sex pot Racheal Leigh Cook who falls for freedy ( which girl wouldnt) but then finds out that he was using her to win a bet.
A great story about the fact that if your a ugly girl and a hot guy like freedy prince asks you to a dance he prolly is doing it for a bet to win money or an Augie Ojeda jersey or he is suffering from amniesia and thinks your Hilary Duff.
Great cmaeo by the guy who wwas in Scooby, summer catch and Scream you may remember in Scream he says "Stand back, this one a really sceamer."
I obtanined 9wink-wink)a used copy of this movie back in 2000 but i gave it to my friend cuz i thought he would watch it w/ his sister who I was crushing over at the time. Ends up i never got it and i only was with the sister for 3 1/2 months, so iwaish i nbever gave him this movie.
Buy it if you love Freedie (LIKE ME!!) or think that Racheal LEeigh Cook is HOT! (which she is but not anymore just like my friends sister)
Great lesson learned about prom and there is atleast 7 references to Sega which ad the gresatet game ever TEAM USA basketball straing Christian Laettner
Not a must buy like Sum of all fears, ghost ship, cobb, debbie does iowa but damn close
Peace,

| Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr) is doing fine - he's just started his last 8 weeks of high school, he's class president, he's dating the most desirable girl in high school, and they are a shoo-in for prom king and queen. Everything's good until his girlfriend arrives at school. Taylor Vaughn (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) got a tattoo on spring break, and she is now dating Brock Hudson (Matthew Lillard), whose only claim to fame is that he's an idiot on MTV's Real World reality TV. Zack is hurt, especially when his friend Dean (Paul Walker) razzes him about it. Zack responds by claiming he can make any girl in school into the prom queen. That's the kind of statement that leads to a bet. Dean says he'll choose a girl for Zack's challenge, and he chooses Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook).
Laney is about as big an outsider as Taylor's ego. She's an artist - she has been advised that many artists are more appreciated after they are dead, so she should kill herself (we all need "friends" like that, right?). She looks after her father and her brother. She's clumsy. She wears unattractive glasses. She wears no makeup. She wears overalls. She even wears a daggy hat while she works in a fast-food joint. They've pulled out all the stops to try to make the beautiful Rachael Leigh Cook look plain (they failed, but they tried hard!).
This is the predictable My Fair Lady type of story, or so it seems at first, especially when Zack's sister Mackenzie (Anna Paquin) gets involved to do a make-over on Laney. But there are some nice little twists, and they add up to a film that's different enough to be a pleasant time. Two of the interviewees mention that this film was deliberately modelled on early John Hughes films; I'm not sure I'd agree with that, but it does capture the idea of the romantic comedy / teen comedy genre to which this film belongs.
There are some interesting lesser characters in this film. We get to see Gabrielle Union and Clea DuVall as minor characters, and Sarah Michelle Gellar in a non-speaking role (she's included in a list headed "They're all that" in the end-credits). Tim Matheson, in a single real scene as Zack's father, was haggard-looking, but convincing.
All up, this is a pleasant film, and I recommend giving it a try.

| I think that movie is great because it seems to touch base on so many levels of insight.
The girl is straightforward and believable, and the guy is also the same. The stereotypes are not present here like in other films.
A theme is not present, but truth always seem to come out freely.
