with stiff performances by Rae and much of the supporting cast, this reboot is mostly charmless; Even a handful of cameos from reality star Kourtney Kardashian can't elevate the flick beyond its listless, movie-of-the-week energy
this remake of the 1999 hit "She's All That" pays the earlier film a great compliment in relying quite so heavily on its formula. In ways large and small, "He's All That" works as a clear-cut updating of the original
the original She’s All That is hardly a masterpiece of teen rom-com filmmaking, it has a goofy guilelessness that helps it go down easy; He's All That, is painfully strained, with flatly overexposed cinematography, choppy editing, and stiff performance
the new film, directed by "Mean Girls" helmer Mark Waters, fails to make intelligent use of either of those alterations — nor does it retain even the slightest charms of its predecessor

silly fun, and no worse than the original; Buchanan and Rae have a cute sort of chemistry; He's All That may be a flattened reflection of its predecessor, but both films are charming enough to get away with about one anal sex innuendo joke apiece
Rae doesn't have too much to offer viewers; Buchanan tries his best with the material; But some things just can't be saved, not even by the nostalgic returns of "She's All That" stars Cook and Matthew Lillard, who appear in small, unrelated roles
overstuffed with conspicuous product placement as well as debasing cameos from some of the original film's stars, this is a hollow and depressing Gen Z romantic comedy
Netflix’s dull TikTok teen remake lacks charm; He’s All That is uninspiring, trying very hard to appear like it’s breezy, probably popular in the sense of cultural saturation but appealing deeply to no one
a middling actor but a likable presence, Addison Rae handles a classmate’s transformation in a sticky-sweet Netflix confection; This movie is pure cotton candy — sweet and brightly colored and a bit of a guilty pleasure
"He's All That" is a hollow Gen Z recreation of "She's All That", lacking in charm and seemingly engineered as a vehicle to promote its stars' other work
