Before anyone labels “He’s All That” as a rote remake, consider this: It’s a reimagining that — unlike “She’s All That” or the source material that inspired it, George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” — is rooted primarily in the female perspective. It’s a shame though that directorand returning screenwriter R. Lee Fleming Jr. don’t put a savvier spin on the conventional, frequently-lampooned tropes and clichés.
Padgett’s beautiful façade begins to crumble once she has a hysterical meltdown after catching her egomaniac boyfriend cheating during a surprise, live-streamed visit. With her follower count hemorrhaging, a viral meme about her circulating and her corporate sponsor Jessica threatening abandonment, she’s desperate to regain her social and financial status.
Unfortunately, that’s where the ingenuity ends, despite ample opportunities to expand the richness of the story given the perspective swap. The female gaze is hand-waved at a few times. Cameron’s makeover debut is rushed through as a bafflingly brief slo-mo walk, scored to a song that’s catchy, but not nearly on par with Sixpence None the Richer’s career-defining hit “Kiss Me.
