TikTok influencer Addison Rae will star in gender-swapped ‘She’s All That’ remake
This feels like a slap to the face for all those actors out there who work hard and can’t catch a break. We are not casting TikTokers?
And I’m sick of everyone claiming she’s gorgeous. She is not that pretty. Everyone is always going on and on about her beauty. I don’t see it.
It will be titled “He’s All That”

While Rachel Leigh Cook was beautiful, she still looked like a real girl. As did Freddie Prinze Jr looked like a good-looking but real guy. As did Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson in the 80s original, "Can't Buy Me Love".
All these modern actors/influencers or whatever look way too dolled-up and glammed to feel any bit of human connection or relatability to.

This was inevitable.
As with all the remakes, re-imagining, reboots, sequels, prequels, and franchises, the cost of movies and the burning desire to get above the noise and make money would inevitably seek out "influencers" with a large built-in base to squeeze money out of their followers.

R10 is a Gen Z summer child. Zach looks orange because of the color saturation in that photo. Are you blind?
Gen Z is a generation of plastic puffer fish who are just using new forms of classist competition against each other: how much money can you spend on makeup, hair extensions/plugs, ab/boob/ass implants?
This generation's tagline should be: you're not ugly, you're just poor.

Zac using sunless tanner and makeup wouldn't shock me. But still he was never a big star then and now despite what he may tell himself at night. So he wasn't an influence on people's beauty perceptions. Teen idols always have non-threatening and also tacky. I thought Zac was hot and still do though.
That said, I just think that late 90s teen films at least tried to cast people who while pretty still had a "guy/girl next door" look. Christina Ricci, Rachel Leigh Cook, Melissa Joan Hart, Katie Holmes and Jennifer Love Hewitt were obtainable girl next door types. James Van Der Beek, Ethan Embry, Adrian Grenier, Freddie Prinze Jr and Ryan Philippe again they were pretty but still looked real and approachable. Liking boy bands and pop wasn't really that cool honestly either despite all the nostalgia for it nowadays. Hip hop, alternative and rock were the biggest genres hence the pop music of that time incorporated rap and rock elements to survive.
I think come the mid-2000s the teen fare got more and more manufactured and artificial with Disney Channel crap like Hannah Montana and High School Musical.

Well she has the plain unattractive look down pat, but will they be able to make her pass for sufficiently beautiful for the plot? Is shocking how unappealing these TikTok and Youtube girls are in comparison to all the fit, hot, charismatic guys out there. It’s no wonder Bryce Hall never wanted to admit to a relationship with her, she’s so plain and boring. I think the only one worse is some I saw for the first time who just quit called Jenna Marbles, painfully unattractive.

When will Hollywood learn. The remakes of Ghostbusters and National Lampoon's Vacation flopped. How many times will they fail until they get it through their hard heads.
Can't Buy Me Love was an 80s remake of Pygmalion, She's All That is a 90s remake of Can't Buy Me Love, Love Don't Cost A Thing was a 2000s remake of She's All That.
If they want this film to succeed then just rename it something else and change the setting.

R54 false. Love Don’t Cost A Thing was a remake of Can’t Buy Me Love, not Shes All That.
The idea of making the ugly duckling desirable is one thing, but there are differences.
She’s All That is let’s take the loser, “ugly” chick and see if the most popular guy in school can make her Prom Queen and popular.
Can’t Buy Me Love and Love Don’t Cost a Thing are literally the same thing, the unpopular dude pays the hot popular chick to pretend they’re together.

The person who initially commented about Gen Z's trash taste claimed to be 27. He'd be the right age for someone who crushed on Zac Efron in the mid to late '00s. Other tacky types mentioned were Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez. 13-17 year olds in the mid to late '00s were not thinking of Brad Pitt or George Clooney.

R71 Many weren't think of JC or NSYNC at all. Boy bands and pop stars were not that cool with older teens in the mid to late 2000s. We moved onto rock, rap, R&B and metal. Most people stopped watching Disney Channel by high school. TRL died around 2008 too. Many of us were watching TV shows and movies for adult audiences.
Zac Efron was considered hot but only if you liked pretty boys and a lot of people don't. Many teen girls and teen gays definitely loved older guys with deep voices and muscular bodies like Jason Statham, Orlando Bloom, Chad Michael Murray, George Clooney, Patrick Dempsey, Mark Wahlberg, John Cena and Will Smith more. Zac, Jonas Bros, Jesse McCartney and Bieber really appealed more to the tweens at the time they came around but high school teens are far less threatened by more rugged masculinity.

I also knew many guys in my high school in the late 2000s that loved older women like Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Demi Moore and Salma Hayek. I was a gay kid in high school, I got turned on by the bodies of Boris Kodjoe, Brendan Frasier, John Cena, Mark Wahlberg, Nelly and Chad Michael Murray. I had a big crush on Matt Dallas from Kyle XY and Chris Evans in Fantastic Four. I also did find Zac Efron, Joe Jonas and Avan Jogia pretty hot and still do.

I remember when they did a remake of 10 Things I Hate About You but in the form of a TV show on ABC Family back in 2009. They changed a lot of things, obviously casted different actors except for the father and turned two characters from the film who were straight into a gay guy and a lesbian. I didn't mind it, it was pretty funny for the most part. I liked the guys they casted for Patrick (Ethan Peck) and Joey (Chris Zylka) as both were very hot.
