Right like I was watching this and idk if it was just my high school but no school club performed at prom and prom court didn't give speeches or anything....or maybe I was too busy eating the gelato to notice if they did. We also didn't throw prom in our gym and I lived in a middle class neighborhood so I am sure a school full of rich kids wouldn't have thrown their prom in their gym either..

Hollywood underestimates teens so much. They seem to think that teenagers will settle for mediocrity (or in this case, less than mediocre). But in reality teenagers do have an appreciation for good filmmaking and plot lines. I’m not saying all teen films have to be deep in order for them to be good. I just think that if Hollywood actually realised there’s more depth to teens than just TikTok they could actually create something good. I’ve also noticed Hollywood LOVES to generalise teenagers because I can guarantee you 90% of teenagers do not behave like this.

That’s just disgusting especially because it’s made by netflix who can easily get some replica chairs and a green screen for this god awful movie. I’m so glad I cancelled my subscription.
i absolutely LOVE how the movie tries to make me believe the protagonist is “poor” 💀 please, she has a really nice house, a macbook, and in the first few minutes of the movie she receives a cheque, so…
I liked what they did with her room being all pretty and then the contrast of the rest of her house, until I realised that in order for her room to look so pretty she'd need to have money, and then I realise that she could've used that money to actually help her mom instead of get some fluffy pillows... It all falls apart the moment the viewer actually thinks about it.
It’s just so sad to see ACTUAL film/drama students not being able to get jobs but some random girl who does Tiktok dances and probably never attended a film class is getting jobs💀
I know the makeover trope is tiring but in defense of she’s all that they never presented Lainey as ugly before the makeover no one ever called her ugly. She was just socially unavailable and hard to know.
Say what y’all want but at least She’s All That’s characters had more depth than cardboard. Zack has a character arc, and Lainey doesn’t completely change herself for a guy. Hell, even Lainey’s little brother has more character than everyone in He’s All That combined!
So zach goes into it trying to change her over a bet but he ends up finding himself enjoying those things he sought to fix? Damn i think this is just a riff on the makeover trope lol
netflix just doesn’t know how to make a good teen movie that doesn’t seen weird, but teens keep watching them and thinking this is how a teenager life is ( that happened to me ) so they keep doing ( also, thanks for watching and suffering for us so we don’t have to watch
It’s pre-teens and little kids who are unsupervised that watch Netflix movies like “he’s all that” lmao actual teens like me just laugh at them and are actually waiting for Netflix to make a actual good teen movie for once but we’ve lost all hope tbh so we’re just waiting for season 4 stranger things tbh
i used to think that too. i thought netflix was incapable of doing any good movie but all the bright places was v good and subtle which made me change my mind
@@tz8222 but that’s one movie out of how many? Netflix has done so many netflix originals that aren’t good. The kissing Booth is very popular, but from what I’ve seen most people just hate watch it.
I liked She's all that for reasons that have nothing to do with the plot: Zach getting comfortable on stage and improvising, Laney's makeover being kind of unusual (shorter hair, she being presented as "not improved but different" -which is a cop-out but still-, "Kiss me" in the background), the allusion to sexual assaults between friends and peers, the fact that Zach's mean popular friends are actually mostly nice people. I don't know, it used a comfortable formula in a very unusual way, I liked that. I didn't see He's all that, but yes, those outfits look very outdated and uninteresting. Also I don't love the premise, I find that in general movies that want to be young and cool and up-to date overuse the topic of social media, as if they weren't a mean to an end (reaching people) but a devilish instrument that got hold of children's lives.
Agreed!! I think she's all that had a lot more character details and development, and while the makeover was a cop out, they do imply that she's not necessarily unattractive to begin with, so the makeover isn't really meant to be a ~total transformation~. (There's a line like "ugly I can deal with, but unapproachable no", as in Laney is not ugly, just standoffish)
i hate the whole “it’s a teen movie what do you expect” argument cos i feel like it completely undermines teenagers, do they not deserves good movies? films like mean girls, clueless and bring it on are all teen movies but they were also intelligent, genuinely funny and sent positive messages to teens without being too preachy, it’s a shame that people think just bc something is targeted towards teen girls that it doesn’t deserve to be treated a serious and high quality project
it's really not that deep. usually, the younger you are the less educated, cultivated and intelligent you are. also, if we take a look what the most successful teen shows/movies are/were; riverdale, 13 reasons why, twilight etc. just proves this thesis
@@liste302 this argument is pretty baseless, you just listed random popular shows/films which are considered bad, every genre has popular films/shows that are also bad- just like every genre has popular things that are good, buffy is not only one of the most popular teen shows of all time, it’s also considered one of the greatest shows of all time across all genres, same thing with the films i listed in my original comment, teenage girls are smarter than you think.
Let's be real. The only reason this remake is genderswapped is because I feel like this was a vanity project for Addison Rae and she deliberately cast herself as the Freddie Prinze Jr. character so she wouldn't come across as undesirable.
To be fair she didn’t cast herself as anything & didn’t write the script. It was originally written as a gender swapped remake I can’t believe 1.4k people believe that Addison made the executive decision1 to rewrite the entire story because of “vanity”
Yeah we need to stop acting like wiping off someones makeup without their permission is romantic. It's like taking off an article of clothing off of someone without their permission. It's weird and it's invasive, stop it!!
If someone tried wiping off my makeup after I spent so much time perfecting my eyeliner, I would swing. Cameron is just lucky that he’s also Robbie from Cobra Kai.
Not just lower, the budget for the original (10 mil) was literally HALF of the reboot (20 mil) and pretty sure that 10 mil just went straight to addison rae and kourtney kardashian lol. Thanks for watching it so i don't have to
They literally had a teen influencer, why did the costume designer need to study Tiktok when they could have just asked Addision Rae if she would wear it.
I feel like they COULD have made this a really good movie if they added in more realistic concepts and emotions and made it make sense for the guy to fall in love w Addison. Like her personality “behind” the influencer and popular girl and like you said had her open up about the struggles of trying to please everyone and have them come together on their similar feelings about the real world. But instead they made a dumpster fire
One scene where she breaks down and talks about the struggles of being famous but suddenly irrelevant, body images, peer pressure, health, bad eating habits and BAM the character improves about 100%
Totally agree - The main guy kept defending her and saying there was "more" to her now that he knows her. Like, my guy, are we listening to the same conversations you're having?? There seemed to be nothing to Addison's character. Having her talk about the pressure of maintaining a perfect, popular image would have actually made sense as a way to connect with someone who has arguably chosen to portray himself in a way that marks him as "different" from his peers. We could have had some conversations about some real issues here!
Oh, also, costuming wise-- i have noticed that a lot of adaptations/remakes/relaunches/whatever from nowdays use the costume designers from 15+ years ago who worked on the original and... well.... those costume designers stayed 10+ years ago (fashion-wise). How about we bring fresh, new designers now? i get it, they did an amazing job back then, but they continue to dress characters that are supposed to be trendsetters like some main character from a DCOM from 2012. It's time for a change.
i dont even want to blame addison, i mean if i got offered a chance to star in a NETFLIX show i wouldn’t say no. but i cant believe THIS is the quality of “teen” dramas these days
@Chrissy 123 nah those older movies hold up. In this example She’s All That had light years better production, performances, script & wardrobe than He’s All That. Despite being almost 2 decades older, the originally looks higher budget. They’re making movies cheap & fast to turn a quick buck. Quality matters less when you don’t have to worry about movie ticket and dvd sales to make a profit on the movie.
This video really drives home the tragic, missed opportunity in the styling. I would have loved to see Padgett in some wild Shein-haul inspired looks. Also imagine if the story addressed a real reason for getting cancelled (like messing up or saying something inappropriate) and then actually growing as a person. The bar here is so low and it could have been so much better!!
i feel like the script writers didn't have addison's character "break down" or portray a wide range of emotions so to speak was because she just lacks the ability as an actress. she's barely (if at all) alright as an actor in the more lighthearted scenes, so deep or difficult scenes are just out of the question for her.
I love how this is my third commentary video on the "he's all that" movie but each youtuber i watch them from are equally hilarious and fun so i just never get bored. 💀💀
I really hate the highschool movies that depict highschool as a colorful place full of unblemished sexy people. I’ll add this to the list of dumpster fire teen movies I wish I could forget exist. Thanks for the insightful commentary though, as always, that red lip paired w the 20’s brows is iconic ❤️
The movie was such a good opportunity to showcase the trends of today and to actually showcase the issues with social media and what happens when you make a career out of it. but her losing sponsors after that live... she got cheated on for the world to see and everyone turns on her?!? Yey feminism ?!
@@hikariluanGC oh cool. Its like the writers were trying to capture the media landscape of today but their knowlege social media culture is severely not adequate. Edit because i clearly was already half asleep when i typed the og ahah
Yes, it would‘ve been so much better. Especially showing how everyone would be more into their phones and only communicating over social media and doesn‘t form real connections. It then would‘ve made sense that the photographer guy were trying to pull Addison out of the bubble and show her „the real world“ and they form a more unique bond with memories she doesn‘t share with everyone else. It would‘ve give the remake a purpose to exist, but who is surprised it was bad.
Mina I’d love to hear your take on all the to all the boys I’ve loved before films. I really liked the look of them all and thought that, although they were cheesy, they were quite good films. It was really nice to see a poc as the main character and I thought the fashion and general style of the films were really nice!! Loved the video xx
tbh I think it would've worked better if they only released the first one. I do love the fashion and stuff but I think the 2nd and third movies were a bit unnecessary
mark walters needs to pack it up with teen movies, after mean girls he definitely lost touch with the times. not only is this is clearly a cash grab it’s also an attempt for him to stay relevant for a new generation, instead of taking a notes from the 500 days of summer director when he helped to produce that movie.
that outcast boy from he's all that sounds like the most annoying type of boy ever.....like literally the incel dude who makes the things i also like look bad
And also the single "no" tweet reeks of "I'm not like other boys, I'm an intellectual, I'm smart, I know things, I listen to old music that I fucking hate, I dont like putting my entire life out for the whole world to see, please have sex with me before I call you 12 random slurs"
it's kinda sad the only person who was **trying** to act was the guy from cobra kai. maybe if they hadn't casted addison and went with an actress who actually knew what she was doing, this would've been much more tolerable
He’s All That wouldn’t have been so bad if it had been done by someone who has minimal understanding of how internet works. In real life most people would take her side and both would get followers because people love a good gossip (myself included).
Watch me make a 'they're' all that and its sapphic and a girl remakes a nonbinary wlw and its very wholesome and sapphic the makeover is not changing their style but actually giving them confidence and a better mental mindset AAA i love this actually i can already imagine some cute scenes
this felt like an addison rae fanfiction fever dream. like, you know how some fanfics take plots from movies? (for example, "Love, Simon AU"). this was literally just that. addison rae and quirky brooding misogynist in a She's All That AU.
I didn't realize I needed that movie, but oh God I do. Popular chick could decide to makeover nerdy girl for the bet, but then they could tackle the whole cool girl trope and they could both learn to embrace each other's expressions of femininity and fall in love and omg.
Honestly the whole dead parent trope, when done like this, always annoys me. It’s like they try to give a crappy character superficial depth by having their mum die of cancer like 2 years before or something and It’s like your character still sucks it’s just now their mums dead 🤷🏾♀️
As a metalhead it kinda rubs me the wrong way that they went with the ‘unpopular, outcast punk/grunge kid’ stereotype who needs some kind of make over. It’s totally possible to live in different worlds in terms of hobbies or interests and fall in love with each other BUT without cutting a rocker’s hair and without saying that the girl who likes to play with make up looks better without it (???) you know what I mean? I think that especially young teens should be encouraged in what makes them unique/ what they like and not giving up one’s identity or character traits for a significant other. Back in the days when I was a teen I would have loved a movie who taught me this. Instead, in every movie the punk/alternative/artsy girl/guy is the weirdo who’s appearance needs to be changed…
That loose continuity thing with the red dress was such a BRILLIANT idea I have no clue how they didn’t think about it! People would have loved it more if it actually was the real laini!
She’s all that isn’t great or special, but I always thought the reason Laney was not popular was her attitude, which was appalling, really, she was rude to everyone with no reason. The makeover was not so bad, they tried a little, with the “not improved, but new”. And I liked that Zach had an arc and actually learned and evolved personally through his friendship with Laney. Did not even consider watching the new one. Thanks for the taking one for the team, Mina, great video!
Agreed! I think Laney’s ‘character arc’ was her putting her walls down and being overall less judgy of the people who she didn’t initially hang out with or associate herself with … I think she discovered that she had a preconception of everyone before she actually got to know them, perhaps this was formed from years of not ‘fitting in’ and maybe being made fun of for being antisocial which led to her overall bitter presence and attitude towards her fellow peers. This is just a little mind ramble of some interesting concepts to think about, happy to hear other’s opinions/ perspective on the characters too! :)
I agree on Mina's point on the ending. I kinda think it was off too when I finished watching it how she ditched college to travel the world (frankly, if she HAD money to travel the world, why didn't she just use that money for college). A better ending would have been her finding another sponsor for funds and encouraging Cameron to take photography in college or something and travel during spring breaks. They would probably get other PRs with Padgett's social media influence and Cameron's photography skills. (but hey what do I know XD) (ps. not saying it's really really bad to not go to college ok just agreeing on mina's take on 16:19 how it wasn't really a good message for teens out there)
Why do they insist on dressing these characters like 30 yr olds. First the fate saga and now this. These are supposed to be teenagers or young adults. Let them wear something fun. The current fashion trends are nowhere to be seen, which just doesn't make any sense.
Like 30 year olds that only have trendy clothes from 10 years ago. Like her wardrobe looks like stuff that would be heavily discounted on poshmark now, definitely not like stuff that teens would pay top dollar for on depop
Your sponsor, betterhelp has been in a fair few controversies surrounding it’s legitimacy and other things, I’m not very well educated on the matter but there have been quite a few RUclips videos on it. No hate, I just thought you should know.
old white men in suits dont know a thing about teens. She wouldnt have been cancelled AT ALL. she would've gained more fame actually. also, they should be grateful that everyone has forgotten Addison's past and just see her as "annoying tiktok dance girl" or else this movie wouldnt have gotten any attention at all
It baffles me that the guy who made Mean Girls directed this. He was so promising, what happened? The ex-boyfriend looks like something out of a 2005 movie. To be pretty honest Cameron is quite hot even before the transformation - or maybe I just have a weird taste And I get why they cast Rachael Leigh Cook and Matthew Lillard in this movie but is so... tacky, obvious and uninspired. I'd rather have members of the original cast playing the same characters again, in another context, as if it was almost a direct sequel, than playing other characters.
would love to see a video about the costuming in freaky friday and the parent trap!! a bit of a palate cleanser after this mess… great video as always!!!!
i can't wait for gen z to grow up and make films about our real experiences because i can't think of one popular modern teen romcom/drama that does it well (i bet they do exist but aren't as well-known as netflix movies and such)
Hey, I'd like to tell you that your name in portuguese/br means "girl", but as a slang. Menina (girl) - Mina (slang for "menina") 🇧🇷☺️ For exemple: - Essa menina/mina - This girl
She's All That is definitely a movie of my youth; one of those movies I wanted to see in theaters but my mom wouldn't let me. I recently re-watched it alongside Drunk Feminist Films and there are definitely, DEFINITELY moments that do not hold up, and it generally is one of the lower tier teen rom coms of its time. (10 Things I Hate About You being the superior doing-this-for-money movie!) However, I did really love the chemistry between the two leads, & the lower stakes are definitely not as contrived. The new one just doesn't seem to do, well, anything, especially with the main premise being the exact opposite of what I was expecting. But I really appreciated your comments on the fashion! The main character did look a little weirdly out-of-place in terms of her clothing & the original is just pure late-90s trash in a way that brings back so, so many memories.
Loved your commentary on this rather atrocious movie. As a teen myself I think it’s a little tone deaf on how actual teens live, dress, our morals, etc. Would love to see you do a video on the Babysitters club series!
Hi Ms Mina I absolutely love how you research everything so well. AND ACCURATELY, with relevance to current "era" if we may say. Watching you is like delightfully reading a solid piece of article, but with aesthetics. Most of all, your confidence to carefully balance out the "pros" and " cons" and add your own analysis CONFIDENTLY but with respect. You are so eloquent at what you're doing. I cannot believe you are doing this professionally. What a treat to watch you. Just wow. Thank you for gracing the internet !!!!! ^_^
i've been wondering, do you watch the movies a couple of times to be able to discuss them in such detail, or do you just take notes while watching the first time? or something else?
In reference to the wardrobe , old navy was one of the many brand sponsors that were product placed in this film. I think as part of the deal all the wardrobe was from old navy , with maybe the exception of the prom dress. Teens, especially “cool teens” are not shopping at old navy,
Girl when you went off about a boy rubbing off your lipstick, I died. Lol what an absolute queen. That's going to stay with me for quite a while, it was great!
I have theater and film degree and I'm looking for a job now. I swear EVERYTIME I see these Netflix creations, I literally scream WHO DID THIS?? WHO AND WHYY?! This makes me so angry... Just give a chance to young script writers, they would KILL for an opportunity to produce a show or a movie for Netflix. And I'm sure that they WILL get job done so much better

I have a theory that they purposely hire people who dont know anything about teens or social media as a social experiment

Thank you for suffering through that movie for us, ill never watch lol
OMG! Alli, I am glad you watch Mina’s channel! I am a big fan of both of you!
Hi Alli!!!
Its actually so bad that its pretty entertaining to watch lol
@@bblleeppbblloopp I tried hate watching it and I couldn’t get pst the first few minutes.It’s actually painful to watch lol
amen to that, my friend
I know the makeover trope is tiring but in defense of she’s all that they never presented Lainey as ugly before the makeover no one ever called her ugly. She was just socially unavailable and hard to know.
If I remember correctly, they kinda did with the glasses thing
I agree. She wasn't chosen because she was unattractive but because she was "scary and inaccessible."
She was coded "ugly" because of her "undesirability" from being socially unavailable or whatever
agree
Say what y’all want but at least She’s All That’s characters had more depth than cardboard. Zack has a character arc, and Lainey doesn’t completely change herself for a guy. Hell, even Lainey’s little brother has more character than everyone in He’s All That combined!
I also lke the makeover quote of zack's sister to summarize: "introducing the new *NOT* improved but different"
true story!
So zach goes into it trying to change her over a bet but he ends up finding himself enjoying those things he sought to fix? Damn i think this is just a riff on the makeover trope lol
netflix just doesn’t know how to make a good teen movie that doesn’t seen weird, but teens keep watching them and thinking this is how a teenager life is ( that happened to me ) so they keep doing
( also, thanks for watching and suffering for us so we don’t have to watch
Idk if this count as netflix original or teen shows but Sex Education is one of the prime example of good teen drama.
It’s pre-teens and little kids who are unsupervised that watch Netflix movies like “he’s all that” lmao actual teens like me just laugh at them and are actually waiting for Netflix to make a actual good teen movie for once but we’ve lost all hope tbh so we’re just waiting for season 4 stranger things tbh
@@user-td3tp9em9t yeh they actually show how teens act and dress even though they made it more American than British but honestly good
i used to think that too. i thought netflix was incapable of doing any good movie but all the bright places was v good and subtle which made me change my mind
@@tz8222 but that’s one movie out of how many? Netflix has done so many netflix originals that aren’t good. The kissing Booth is very popular, but from what I’ve seen most people just hate watch it.
I liked She's all that for reasons that have nothing to do with the plot: Zach getting comfortable on stage and improvising, Laney's makeover being kind of unusual (shorter hair, she being presented as "not improved but different" -which is a cop-out but still-, "Kiss me" in the background), the allusion to sexual assaults between friends and peers, the fact that Zach's mean popular friends are actually mostly nice people. I don't know, it used a comfortable formula in a very unusual way, I liked that. I didn't see He's all that, but yes, those outfits look very outdated and uninteresting. Also I don't love the premise, I find that in general movies that want to be young and cool and up-to date overuse the topic of social media, as if they weren't a mean to an end (reaching people) but a devilish instrument that got hold of children's lives.
Love your take on she’s all that I feel the exact same way. There was much more nuance
Agreed!! I think she's all that had a lot more character details and development, and while the makeover was a cop out, they do imply that she's not necessarily unattractive to begin with, so the makeover isn't really meant to be a ~total transformation~. (There's a line like "ugly I can deal with, but unapproachable no", as in Laney is not ugly, just standoffish)
also usher being the school dj
I still love She’s All That maybe it’s a nostalgia thing for me. Kiss me is one of my fav song.
I also love how the reason they picked Lainey wasnt because she was unattractive but unapproachable
i hate the whole “it’s a teen movie what do you expect” argument cos i feel like it completely undermines teenagers, do they not deserves good movies? films like mean girls, clueless and bring it on are all teen movies but they were also intelligent, genuinely funny and sent positive messages to teens without being too preachy, it’s a shame that people think just bc something is targeted towards teen girls that it doesn’t deserve to be treated a serious and high quality project
Same thing they say about kids movies! Kids deserve for you to spend more than 2.03 seconds writing their movies, and so do teens!
it's really not that deep. usually, the younger you are the less educated, cultivated and intelligent you are. also, if we take a look what the most successful teen shows/movies are/were; riverdale, 13 reasons why, twilight etc. just proves this thesis
@@liste302 this argument is pretty baseless, you just listed random popular shows/films which are considered bad, every genre has popular films/shows that are also bad- just like every genre has popular things that are good, buffy is not only one of the most popular teen shows of all time, it’s also considered one of the greatest shows of all time across all genres, same thing with the films i listed in my original comment, teenage girls are smarter than you think.
Honestly, Netflix needs to be defunded. They're like the Shein of movies at this point.

Let's be real. The only reason this remake is genderswapped is because I feel like this was a vanity project for Addison Rae and she deliberately cast herself as the Freddie Prinze Jr. character so she wouldn't come across as undesirable.
YESSS, Thank you!!!
@@CaileyMcMcKenna yeah it’s so annoying
@@basicallyapodcast5834 didn’t she bully someone into saying the n word? She does have a huge ego either way
To be fair she didn’t cast herself as anything & didn’t write the script. It was originally written as a gender swapped remake I can’t believe 1.4k people believe that Addison made the executive decision1 to rewrite the entire story because of “vanity”
@@marieremelie6716do you have any evidence for this or

@@ahyan6681 Oh yeah. Her too. Forgot about her.

They literally had a teen influencer, why did the costume designer need to study Tiktok when they could have just asked Addision Rae if she would wear it.
I feel like they COULD have made this a really good movie if they added in more realistic concepts and emotions and made it make sense for the guy to fall in love w Addison. Like her personality “behind” the influencer and popular girl and like you said had her open up about the struggles of trying to please everyone and have them come together on their similar feelings about the real world. But instead they made a dumpster fire
That sounds like an incredible movie honestly, haha
One scene where she breaks down and talks about the struggles of being famous but suddenly irrelevant, body images, peer pressure, health, bad eating habits and BAM the character improves about 100%
Girl, you should have wrote this movie 🤣
@@multifandomperson8703 exactly she just had no flavor lmao
Totally agree - The main guy kept defending her and saying there was "more" to her now that he knows her. Like, my guy, are we listening to the same conversations you're having?? There seemed to be nothing to Addison's character. Having her talk about the pressure of maintaining a perfect, popular image would have actually made sense as a way to connect with someone who has arguably chosen to portray himself in a way that marks him as "different" from his peers. We could have had some conversations about some real issues here!
i think netflix should employ you for every styling project ever
Mina Le doesn't realize this, but her videos are curing everyone's boredom
not just that, but also fucking inspiring us to also do stuff we enjoy. love her 🥰
and her style thooooo ❤️
Mina and Gwen Stefani are the only people who can pull off those pencil eyebrows besides 1910s actresses.
This eyebrow shape is more of a 1930s style.
Yup
Someone pin this
I could pull it off but I like my thick eyebrows better than cartoon eyebrows 🤣
Oh, also, costuming wise-- i have noticed that a lot of adaptations/remakes/relaunches/whatever from nowdays use the costume designers from 15+ years ago who worked on the original and... well.... those costume designers stayed 10+ years ago (fashion-wise). How about we bring fresh, new designers now? i get it, they did an amazing job back then, but they continue to dress characters that are supposed to be trendsetters like some main character from a DCOM from 2012. It's time for a change.
Or have them co-design (if that's a thing)
i dont even want to blame addison, i mean if i got offered a chance to star in a NETFLIX show i wouldn’t say no. but i cant believe THIS is the quality of “teen” dramas these days
@Chrissy 123 hsm had good casting but the movie was overall, nothing... fine for a disney musical ig... Mean Girls is iconic... A classic for sure
@Chrissy 123 nah those older movies hold up. In this example She’s All That had light years better production, performances, script & wardrobe than He’s All That. Despite being almost 2 decades older, the originally looks higher budget. They’re making movies cheap & fast to turn a quick buck. Quality matters less when you don’t have to worry about movie ticket and dvd sales to make a profit on the movie.
90% of the costuming in The Parent Trap is flawless to this day!
Specially the mom's revenge dress 😍
I hadn't gotten to this point in the vid yet and thought you were just spitting straight facts in the comment section 🤣
Its fucking immaculate. I don't take other opinions
Annie being a little girl but wearing a Chanel like suit is iconic 🤣
Oh no, it’s 100%. We’ll, maybe the dad needed to try harder haha
This video really drives home the tragic, missed opportunity in the styling. I would have loved to see Padgett in some wild Shein-haul inspired looks. Also imagine if the story addressed a real reason for getting cancelled (like messing up or saying something inappropriate) and then actually growing as a person. The bar here is so low and it could have been so much better!!
Ironically, the 90s clothes in the original movie would be way more accurate to what a current influencer would wear.
How did Roger Ebert give “He’s all that” 3 stars ✋😭 but gave “Howl’s Moving Castle” 2.5 stars 💀 naww
Roger Ebert was a fucking hack. Honestly he gave plenty of good movies shitty ratings because of the dumbest reasons.
0-0 I just watched Howl’s Moving Castle today Lol
He rated Howl’s Moving Castle whaaaaat???
"Howl's Moving Castle" is a masterpiece, 2.5 stars where 🤡
Howl’s moving castle is 5 stars and I take no critique, Jo Hisaishi’s score for that film alone is a masterpiece
i feel like the script writers didn't have addison's character "break down" or portray a wide range of emotions so to speak was because she just lacks the ability as an actress. she's barely (if at all) alright as an actor in the more lighthearted scenes, so deep or difficult scenes are just out of the question for her.
I think it was also because they didnt want Addison to appear "indesirable" by making her have more complex imperfections.

The movie was such a good opportunity to showcase the trends of today and to actually showcase the issues with social media and what happens when you make a career out of it. but her losing sponsors after that live... she got cheated on for the world to see and everyone turns on her?!?

Yes, it would‘ve been so much better. Especially showing how everyone would be more into their phones and only communicating over social media and doesn‘t form real connections. It then would‘ve made sense that the photographer guy were trying to pull Addison out of the bubble and show her „the real world“ and they form a more unique bond with memories she doesn‘t share with everyone else. It would‘ve give the remake a purpose to exist, but who is surprised it was bad.

They should make a movie all about Harvey's shenanigans, how about that lol
i can't believe fred's ex-girlfriend dumped him for shaggy. this feels like a weird alternate universe for she's all that
As a metalhead it kinda rubs me the wrong way that they went with the ‘unpopular, outcast punk/grunge kid’ stereotype who needs some kind of make over. It’s totally possible to live in different worlds in terms of hobbies or interests and fall in love with each other BUT without cutting a rocker’s hair and without saying that the girl who likes to play with make up looks better without it (???) you know what I mean? I think that especially young teens should be encouraged in what makes them unique/ what they like and not giving up one’s identity or character traits for a significant other. Back in the days when I was a teen I would have loved a movie who taught me this. Instead, in every movie the punk/alternative/artsy girl/guy is the weirdo who’s appearance needs to be changed…
That loose continuity thing with the red dress was such a BRILLIANT idea I have no clue how they didn’t think about it! People would have loved it more if it actually was the real laini!

@@alyssapinon9670 if you're gonna hate watch, don't do it via netflix, we do NOT need a remake of this ;)
Honestly, this movie would've been an excellent opportunity to shed some light on the body/image issues men/boys face
She’s all that isn’t great or special, but I always thought the reason Laney was not popular was her attitude, which was appalling, really, she was rude to everyone with no reason. The makeover was not so bad, they tried a little, with the “not improved, but new”. And I liked that Zach had an arc and actually learned and evolved personally through his friendship with Laney. Did not even consider watching the new one. Thanks for the taking one for the team, Mina, great video!
Agreed! I think Laney’s ‘character arc’ was her putting her walls down and being overall less judgy of the people who she didn’t initially hang out with or associate herself with … I think she discovered that she had a preconception of everyone before she actually got to know them, perhaps this was formed from years of not ‘fitting in’ and maybe being made fun of for being antisocial which led to her overall bitter presence and attitude towards her fellow peers. This is just a little mind ramble of some interesting concepts to think about, happy to hear other’s opinions/ perspective on the characters too! :)
he’s all that literally felt like one long youtube sketch
addison rae literally played herself and the movie was still bad
You know it's bad when this happens
Mina was so angry. I loved it
Cameron would definitely be one of those guys on twitter who would comment on girls twitter posts and say “ratio” or something like that
I agree on Mina's point on the ending. I kinda think it was off too when I finished watching it how she ditched college to travel the world (frankly, if she HAD money to travel the world, why didn't she just use that money for college). A better ending would have been her finding another sponsor for funds and encouraging Cameron to take photography in college or something and travel during spring breaks. They would probably get other PRs with Padgett's social media influence and Cameron's photography skills. (but hey what do I know XD)
(ps. not saying it's really really bad to not go to college ok just agreeing on mina's take on 16:19 how it wasn't really a good message for teens out there)
Why do they insist on dressing these characters like 30 yr olds. First the fate saga and now this.
These are supposed to be teenagers or young adults. Let them wear something fun. The current fashion trends are nowhere to be seen, which just doesn't make any sense.
(me in my early 30s and still dressing edgy like before) Whaaaa :)
Like 30 year olds that only have trendy clothes from 10 years ago. Like her wardrobe looks like stuff that would be heavily discounted on poshmark now, definitely not like stuff that teens would pay top dollar for on depop
Your sponsor, betterhelp has been in a fair few controversies surrounding it’s legitimacy and other things, I’m not very well educated on the matter but there have been quite a few RUclips videos on it. No hate, I just thought you should know.
old white men in suits dont know a thing about teens. She wouldnt have been cancelled AT ALL. she would've gained more fame actually. also, they should be grateful that everyone has forgotten Addison's past and just see her as "annoying tiktok dance girl" or else this movie wouldnt have gotten any attention at all
drop details
Not old white men in suits lol 😂
It baffles me that the guy who made Mean Girls directed this. He was so promising, what happened?
The ex-boyfriend looks like something out of a 2005 movie.
To be pretty honest Cameron is quite hot even before the transformation - or maybe I just have a weird taste
And I get why they cast Rachael Leigh Cook and Matthew Lillard in this movie but is so... tacky, obvious and uninspired. I'd rather have members of the original cast playing the same characters again, in another context, as if it was almost a direct sequel, than playing other characters.
Are we sure it wasn't Mean Girls 2? 😭
Tina Fey really had a lot to do with Mean Girls though. It was her passion project.
Maybe because I saw him on Cobra Kai, I had a hard time seeing Cameron as physically ugly. But the moment he started talking 🤮

She's All That is definitely a movie of my youth; one of those movies I wanted to see in theaters but my mom wouldn't let me. I recently re-watched it alongside Drunk Feminist Films and there are definitely, DEFINITELY moments that do not hold up, and it generally is one of the lower tier teen rom coms of its time. (10 Things I Hate About You being the superior doing-this-for-money movie!) However, I did really love the chemistry between the two leads, & the lower stakes are definitely not as contrived.
The new one just doesn't seem to do, well, anything, especially with the main premise being the exact opposite of what I was expecting. But I really appreciated your comments on the fashion! The main character did look a little weirdly out-of-place in terms of her clothing & the original is just pure late-90s trash in a way that brings back so, so many memories.
Loved your commentary on this rather atrocious movie. As a teen myself I think it’s a little tone deaf on how actual teens live, dress, our morals, etc. Would love to see you do a video on the Babysitters club series!
I think that the characters of the original movie getting into each others’ interests was so cute
I watched She’s All That when I was a kid so I’m definitely bias about it. My fav scene is the prom dance off w Usher as the DJ.
Hi Ms Mina I absolutely love how you research everything so well. AND ACCURATELY, with relevance to current "era" if we may say. Watching you is like delightfully reading a solid piece of article, but with aesthetics. Most of all, your confidence to carefully balance out the "pros" and " cons" and add your own analysis CONFIDENTLY but with respect. You are so eloquent at what you're doing. I cannot believe you are doing this professionally. What a treat to watch you. Just wow. Thank you for gracing the internet !!!!! ^_^
The makeover in Wild Child is the only good one I've seen. She activity chooses to change her appearance & it shows her character development.

i've been wondering, do you watch the movies a couple of times to be able to discuss them in such detail, or do you just take notes while watching the first time? or something else?
In reference to the wardrobe , old navy was one of the many brand sponsors that were product placed in this film. I think as part of the deal all the wardrobe was from old navy , with maybe the exception of the prom dress. Teens, especially “cool teens” are not shopping at old navy,
The waterfall blazer with the skinny jeans for a teen tik tok influencer was just blasphemous.
Everyone!!

I have theater and film degree and I'm looking for a job now. I swear EVERYTIME I see these Netflix creations, I literally scream WHO DID THIS?? WHO AND WHYY?! This makes me so angry... Just give a chance to young script writers, they would KILL for an opportunity to produce a show or a movie for Netflix. And I'm sure that they WILL get job done so much better
