She's All That (1999) feat. Lindsay Traves
b'
In advance of the gender flipped Netflix remake He\'s All That, Brenna, Joe and special guest Lindsay revisit Pygmalion / My Fair Lady update She\'s All That.
The film has an all-star cast, but doesn\'t seem to know what to do with most of them. And while Lindsay and Joe still find it funny, there\'s no question that the gender politics, as well as the handling of race and fatphobia have aged *badly*. The film\'s disinterest in exploring Cook\'s Laney Boggs in order to prioritize Zack\'s white male privilege is very late 90s.
On the plus side: we have two of the most memorable dance sequences in contemporary YA, a bizarre arc for Jodi Lynn O\'Keefe\'s character and Anna Paquin as the character we wish the film were actually about!
