Talk:She's All That

Section "Cast"

I think this section should be changed. I appreciate the way it mirrors the movie by repeating all the bad clichés, but this is really not the place for satire. --91.10.28.217 (talk) 20:10, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

"mixed" Reviews

If you think a 25%/75% split is "mixed", you would probably also agree that a 1%/99% split is mixed. It is completely counter to common perception however. Worse, there are some quotes from the positive reviews from RT:

• "it's often impossible to distinguish what's meant to be cartoonish from what's meant to be dramatic"
• "She's All That is not likely to make a mark or be remembered by anyone for very long"
• "hardly an Oscar contender"
• "In the parlance of American Bandstand it's got a good beat and you can dance to it, but that hardly separates it from the rest of the pack."

So I guess you could say that the positive reviews are "mixed". --91.10.28.217 (talk) 20:34, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Reasons for Criticism

Some quotes form the reviews:

• "lack of originality"
• "its characters never begin to rise above the level of cartoons and stereotypes"
• "a rote set of tiresome events"
• "it runs out of plot, with 45 minutes to go. "
• "essentially a formulaic comedy"
• "a competent regurgitation of a familiar plot"
• "Those who expect a little more substance will be frustrated."
• "Unfortunately, the constraints of the script force Zack and Laney into such rigid molds that there's no room for genuine character development or interaction."

Sleeper Hit?

Joining the ranks of "cult classic" on Wikipedia is now the term "sleeper hit." The article reads as follows:

" the film was a sleeper hit and reached No. 1 at the box office in the first week of its release in theaters,"

...Which is pretty much contrary to what a sleeper hit is. A sleeper hit is something that doesn't start out popular and later gains popularity later via word of mouth, atypical exposure, or whatever else. How the hell is a film that hits number 1 in its first week at the box office a sleeper hit??? Patrick of J (talk) 16:42, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

I agree. Don't know what this wasn't removed from the article sooner (so I've removed it) but as with "cult classic" any claims of this being a sleeper hit should be based on reliable sources saying it, not some Wikipedia editors opinion. -- 109.76.219.40 (talk) 20:12, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
