He's All That

I am too ancient it seems to know who Addison Lee is but she's no Freddie PJ. This lack of context meant I thought the bizarre hyper unrealism of her acting was going to be revealed as a plot point. What a grave misconception to imagine this film had anything like so much substance. I won't spoil anything in case anyone is mad enough to be reading these reviews and still watch, but I am about to take a long hard look in the mirror for making it through this film without throwing up.

Oddly however this did pass the Kermode six laugh test for me, a one liner from an underused elderly relative woke me up and laughter of at least five times the duration emerged during the denouement. Not sure if that counts actually, please don't bother. As for the preposterous physique of the "loser" leading man and patronising nods towards diversity I have no words. Oh a kardashian pops up.

This movie is so bad. TBH, it doesn't even feel like a movie, it's just like some type of a vlog or school project. The acting, especially Addison Rae's, is terrible. Everything else - extremely cringe and awkward. Zero chemistry, weird camera angles... Just watch anything else instead.

I cringed so hard that my soul climbed out of my body and now I'm doomed to roam the earth as a ghost, cringing for all eternity.

I didn't hate it. It was not good tho. I had a good time watching it with my kids. After that, I made the kids watch the original and they agreed the original was better.

Why was Rachael Leigh Cook there at all if she was playing a totally different character?

The reviews are more entertaining than the movie. That's my review.
