He’s All That is a Gender Flipped version of the classic teen movie She's All That, with a dash of 10 Things I Hate About You, also gender flipped, alluded to for good measure, starring Addison Rae, Tanner Buchanan, Madison Pettis, Peyton Meyer, and featuring Rachael Leigh Cook, who played the female lead in the original movie, as Padgett’s mother.After her humiliating breakup with her Jerkass boyfriend goes viral, social media influencer Padgett Sawyer (Rae), finds her reputation in tatters, both online and IRL. To win back public opinion and her sponsorships, as well as stick it to her ex, Padgett declares that she will use her makeover skills on a guy and make him handsome and popular enough to win prom king within a matter of weeks. The mission soon turns into a bet with her best friend, and to prove her skills, the lucky candidate must be an unpopular loser. Enter Cameron Kweller, an anti-social rebel photographer.The race is on as Padgett puts her makeover expertise to work to transform Cameron from Cool Loser to Big Man on Campus. But the closer Padgett gets to Cameron, the more she finds herself falling for him. And with a backstabbing bestie and a recently-dumped ex who wants her back, Padgett finds that winning this bet might make her lose the things that are most important.He’s All That was released on Netflix on August 27, 2021.

Remake Cameo: Rachael Leigh Cook who played Laney in the original film, is featured as Padgett's divorced mother. Also in the original, Matthew Lillard played the sleazy reality star that Zach’s girlfriend dumped him for. He now appears in the remake as the principal.

Adaptational Villainy: Played with. In many aspects, Alden is a much worse False Friend than the original movie's Dean. While both do deliberately expose the bet to hurt their respective friends, Dean otherwise didn't bully and degrade Zack as much as Alden does to Padgett. But unlike Dean, Alden doesn't try to use Cameron and Padgett's Second-Act Breakup to make a move on Cameron.

Lipstick Lesbian: Quinn, Padgett’s best friend, who adores fashion and makeup, and is part of Padgett and Alden’s Girl Posse. She ends up with Cameron’s best friend, Nisha. The relationship is portrayed very interestingly, as no one expresses any negative emotions towards their romance, nor is their attraction to each other treated as a big deal. To the other characters, they’re just two people who really like each other. Technically subverted as Quinn’s sexual orientation is never specified during the film (nor is that of Nisha, who leans towards Butch Lesbian in terms of character tropes).

Kourtney Kardashian, one of the golden Kardashian trio of media influence and entrepreneurship, plays Padgett’s biggest sponsor.

Instant Humiliation Just Add Youtube: Padgett plans to livestream her surprising her boyfriend, Jordan, at the set of his new music video, only to walk in on him cheating on her with one of his backup dancers. She has a meltdown and throws the pastries at him while screaming and declaring that she was breaking up with him, only to find out that she was still live on Instagram. The camera captures a closeup on her face, showing a mucus bubble coming out of her nose, and the Internet goes on to dub her “Bubble Girl”, and it becomes a meme and spreads through the rest of the Web.

Nice, Mean, and In-Between
 He's All That / int_5e965a73
comment
Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Padgett and her two best friends, Alden and Quinn, who are the Girl Posse at school. Alden is the mean one, the False Friend who stabs Padgett in the back to advance in the Popularity Food Chain. Quinn, the Lipstick Lesbian, is the nice one who is Padgett’s biggest supporter and cheerleader, and doesn’t care that and understands why Padgett lied about her background. Padgett is in between, as she lies to and tries to use Cameron to salvage her own reputation, although she has sympathetic motives, as wanting to get back her sponsorships for college money after being humiliated by her cheating boyfriend, and later has a Jerkass Realization and bares her soul at prom, forfeiting her prom queen crown.

Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch: Inverted. Padgett, the sweet one, is the most popular girl in school, and more stereotypical mean girl Alden is her second-in-command. Alden plots against Padgett by deliberately not stopping the livestream when Padgett had her meltdown and stealing her boyfriend so she will have a better shot at winning prom queen against Padgett.

Sadly, he really let the fame and popularity go to his head, as he cheats on his girlfriend with one of his backup dancers and sexually harasses a high school freshman girl.
