She's All That: Difference between revisions

A 1999 teen romantic-comedy starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and [[Rachael Leigh Cook]] (in her first leading role). It's a [[High School]] modernization of George Bernard Shaw's ''Pygmalion'', which is better know by the musical it spawned, ''[[My Fair Lady]]''.

 

 

Laney is at first hostile to Zack's attempts to get close to her; she's odd but likes herself just the way she is. Eventually, though, Zack worms his way into her friends circle and convinces her to undergo a makeover. Just as the two are getting close, Dean decides he wants Laney for himself. He asks Laney to prom, and when she says no, he reveals that the only reason Zack got close to her was to win a bet. Heartbroken, Laney confronts Zack and shouts the now-infamous line: "Am I a bet? Am I a fucking bet?"
