In Defense of... She's All That / Ep. 138

On Episode 138 of the Always the Critic Podcast, we wrap up our quick mini-series, where each host defends a presumably indefensible January release movie panned by critics, with 1999’s She’s All That. Jess tries her best to convince Rico that She’s All That is an underrated and kind of great teen rom-com, citing the iconic makeover reveal, the magic of Freddie Prinze Jr., and the edgy themes the film explores. The two discuss what the critics said back when the movie first hit theaters, as well as the effectiveness of the music video-style dance scenes, the love story’s believability, and Rico’s scathing opinion of Rachael Leigh Cook as an actress and leading lady.
