It’s amazing how Netflix is so out of touch with actual teenagers and high school in general

It’s just so sad to see ACTUAL film/drama students not being able to get jobs but some random girl who does Tiktok dances and probably never attended a film class is getting jobs💀

Addison Rae's character didn't have a single character flaw! There was absolutely no criticism of her actions, she's never mean-spirited. At least Freddie Prinze Jr had a character arc. Just ugh all around. she was just a giant glass of skim milk.

Hollywood underestimates teens so much. They seem to think that teenagers will settle for mediocrity (or in this case, less than mediocre). But in reality teenagers do have an appreciation for good filmmaking and plot lines. I’m not saying all teen films have to be deep in order for them to be good. I just think that if Hollywood actually realised there’s more depth to teens than just TikTok they could actually create something good. I’ve also noticed Hollywood LOVES to generalise teenagers because I can guarantee you 90% of teenagers do not behave like this.

In this era, the whole bf cheating scene and the main girl getting canceled wouldn't work. I'm sure her followers would cancel him and dig up his past 😭

I swear netflix is really going downhill, and 'she's all that' should not have got a remake

Hollywood really needs to stop with the “I’m not like other girls” stereotype. Just because they had the male lead have the stereotype doesn’t change the fact that it’s misogynistic and toxic.

i absolutely LOVE how the movie tries to make me believe the protagonist is “poor” 💀 please, she has a really nice house, a macbook, and in the first few minutes of the movie she receives a cheque, so…

netflix just doesn’t know how to make a good teen movie that doesn’t seen weird, but teens keep watching them and thinking this is how a teenager life is ( that happened to me ) so they keep doing ( also, thanks for watching and suffering for us so we don’t have to watch

Thank you for suffering through that movie for us, ill never watch lol

I know the makeover trope is tiring but in defense of she’s all that they never presented Lainey as ugly before the makeover no one ever called her ugly. She was just socially unavailable and hard to know.

19:09 - Oh my god, it just hit me: THAT'S the movie that *nearly* closed the major COVID testing site at Union Station while things were getting super hectic in the LA area. I can't even think of a funny comment to make about that because I'm just so stunned that this is what people's appointments *almost* got cancelled for. EDIT: It turns out, they decided not to close down the testing site after the internet caught wind of it. However, these appointments were originally cancelled with less than a days notice, so I'm sure plenty of people didn't get the memo that their appointment was still on.

Say what y’all want but at least She’s All That’s characters had more depth than cardboard. Zack has a character arc, and Lainey doesn’t completely change herself for a guy. Hell, even Lainey’s little brother has more character than everyone in He’s All That combined!

I liked She's all that for reasons that have nothing to do with the plot: Zach getting comfortable on stage and improvising, Laney's makeover being kind of unusual (shorter hair, she being presented as "not improved but different" -which is a cop-out but still-, "Kiss me" in the background), the allusion to sexual assaults between friends and peers, the fact that Zach's mean popular friends are actually mostly nice people. I don't know, it used a comfortable formula in a very unusual way, I liked that. I didn't see He's all that, but yes, those outfits look very outdated and uninteresting. Also I don't love the premise, I find that in general movies that want to be young and cool and up-to date overuse the topic of social media, as if they weren't a mean to an end (reaching people) but a devilish instrument that got hold of children's lives.

Honestly, Netflix needs to be defunded. They're like the Shein of movies at this point.

i hate the whole “it’s a teen movie what do you expect” argument cos i feel like it completely undermines teenagers, do they not deserves good movies? films like mean girls, clueless and bring it on are all teen movies but they were also intelligent, genuinely funny and sent positive messages to teens without being too preachy, it’s a shame that people think just bc something is targeted towards teen girls that it doesn’t deserve to be treated a serious and high quality project

Let's be real. The only reason this remake is genderswapped is because I feel like this was a vanity project for Addison Rae and she deliberately cast herself as the Freddie Prinze Jr. character so she wouldn't come across as undesirable.

Yeah we need to stop acting like wiping off someones makeup without their permission is romantic. It's like taking off an article of clothing off of someone without their permission. It's weird and it's invasive, stop it!!

Im 100% convinced rhese aren't teen movies. They're movies for boomers to reminisce on being young. Proof? My mom absolutely ADORED this film

Not just lower, the budget for the original (10 mil) was literally HALF of the reboot (20 mil) and pretty sure that 10 mil just went straight to addison rae and kourtney kardashian lol. Thanks for watching it so i don't have to

Matthew Lillard was the only good part of the movie. Then again Matthew Lillard is usually the best part of any movie.

i think netflix should employ you for every styling project ever

Mina and Gwen Stefani are the only people who can pull off those pencil eyebrows besides 1910s actresses.

I feel like they COULD have made this a really good movie if they added in more realistic concepts and emotions and made it make sense for the guy to fall in love w Addison. Like her personality “behind” the influencer and popular girl and like you said had her open up about the struggles of trying to please everyone and have them come together on their similar feelings about the real world. But instead they made a dumpster fire

How did Roger Ebert give “He’s all that” 3 stars ✋😭 but gave “Howl’s Moving Castle” 2.5 stars 💀 naww

He also did the whole “you look better like this” in a literal dark room... A DARK ROOM. That’s such a back handed compliment

They literally had a teen influencer, why did the costume designer need to study Tiktok when they could have just asked Addision Rae if she would wear it.

Oh, also, costuming wise-- i have noticed that a lot of adaptations/remakes/relaunches/whatever from nowdays use the costume designers from 15+ years ago who worked on the original and... well.... those costume designers stayed 10+ years ago (fashion-wise). How about we bring fresh, new designers now? i get it, they did an amazing job back then, but they continue to dress characters that are supposed to be trendsetters like some main character from a DCOM from 2012. It's time for a change.

that outcast boy from he's all that sounds like the most annoying type of boy ever.....like literally the incel dude who makes the things i also like look bad

Mina Le doesn't realize this, but her videos are curing everyone's boredom

i dont even want to blame addison, i mean if i got offered a chance to star in a NETFLIX show i wouldn’t say no. but i cant believe THIS is the quality of “teen” dramas these days

This video really drives home the tragic, missed opportunity in the styling. I would have loved to see Padgett in some wild Shein-haul inspired looks. Also imagine if the story addressed a real reason for getting cancelled (like messing up or saying something inappropriate) and then actually growing as a person. The bar here is so low and it could have been so much better!!

The movie was such a good opportunity to showcase the trends of today and to actually showcase the issues with social media and what happens when you make a career out of it. but her losing sponsors after that live... she got cheated on for the world to see and everyone turns on her?!? Yey feminism ?!

90% of the costuming in The Parent Trap is flawless to this day!

Ironically, the 90s clothes in the original movie would be way more accurate to what a current influencer would wear.

I really hate the highschool movies that depict highschool as a colorful place full of unblemished sexy people. I’ll add this to the list of dumpster fire teen movies I wish I could forget exist. Thanks for the insightful commentary though, as always, that red lip paired w the 20’s brows is iconic ❤️

it's kinda sad the only person who was **trying** to act was the guy from cobra kai. maybe if they hadn't casted addison and went with an actress who actually knew what she was doing, this would've been much more tolerable

I love how Hollywood's answer to the criticism of objectifying women is to also objectify men.

I love how this is my third commentary video on the "he's all that" movie but each youtuber i watch them from are equally hilarious and fun so i just never get bored. 💀💀

The she’s all that parody “not another teen movie” is even better hahaha

i feel like the script writers didn't have addison's character "break down" or portray a wide range of emotions so to speak was because she just lacks the ability as an actress. she's barely (if at all) alright as an actor in the more lighthearted scenes, so deep or difficult scenes are just out of the question for her.

idk why but I really like her voice it's so nice and satisfying

mark walters needs to pack it up with teen movies, after mean girls he definitely lost touch with the times. not only is this is clearly a cash grab it’s also an attempt for him to stay relevant for a new generation, instead of taking a notes from the 500 days of summer director when he helped to produce that movie.

"Who I like to call hot Shaggy." As if Shaggy wasn't already hot.

Mina I’d love to hear your take on all the to all the boys I’ve loved before films. I really liked the look of them all and thought that, although they were cheesy, they were quite good films. It was really nice to see a poc as the main character and I thought the fashion and general style of the films were really nice!! Loved the video xx

if they were doing a she's all that reboot it should've been sapphic... that's all I'm sayin'

What do you mean finding out at 16 you are the long lost princess of Genovia is “unrealistic” ??

He’s All That wouldn’t have been so bad if it had been done by someone who has minimal understanding of how internet works. In real life most people would take her side and both would get followers because people love a good gossip (myself included).

Watch me make a 'they're' all that and its sapphic and a girl remakes a nonbinary wlw and its very wholesome and sapphic the makeover is not changing their style but actually giving them confidence and a better mental mindset AAA i love this actually i can already imagine some cute scenes

addison rae literally played herself and the movie was still bad

The mom giving her the dress was such a lost opportunity! But then again, the whole movie was 🗣

Just seeing 5 minutes of Addison on screen just made me think: "Addison Rae playing as... Addison Rae"

She ended up being a travel blogger instead of going to college?!?! I don't understand

Why do they insist on dressing these characters like 30 yr olds. First the fate saga and now this. These are supposed to be teenagers or young adults. Let them wear something fun. The current fashion trends are nowhere to be seen, which just doesn't make any sense.

this felt like an addison rae fanfiction fever dream. like, you know how some fanfics take plots from movies? (for example, "Love, Simon AU"). this was literally just that. addison rae and quirky brooding misogynist in a She's All That AU.

i can't believe fred's ex-girlfriend dumped him for shaggy. this feels like a weird alternate universe for she's all that

This is one of those movies I have the strong urge to rewrite in my head ya know

i find it absolutely hilarious that the scene where padgett was supposed to be handing out fliers she just had a binder in her hand 😭😭

Honestly the whole dead parent trope, when done like this, always annoys me. It’s like they try to give a crappy character superficial depth by having their mum die of cancer like 2 years before or something and It’s like your character still sucks it’s just now their mums dead 🤷🏾‍♀️

As a metalhead it kinda rubs me the wrong way that they went with the ‘unpopular, outcast punk/grunge kid’ stereotype who needs some kind of make over. It’s totally possible to live in different worlds in terms of hobbies or interests and fall in love with each other BUT without cutting a rocker’s hair and without saying that the girl who likes to play with make up looks better without it (???) you know what I mean? I think that especially young teens should be encouraged in what makes them unique/ what they like and not giving up one’s identity or character traits for a significant other. Back in the days when I was a teen I would have loved a movie who taught me this. Instead, in every movie the punk/alternative/artsy girl/guy is the weirdo who’s appearance needs to be changed…

the most worst thing of this movie is when mina called croquembouches donut holes lol

Your sponsor, betterhelp has been in a fair few controversies surrounding it’s legitimacy and other things, I’m not very well educated on the matter but there have been quite a few KZfaq videos on it. No hate, I just thought you should know.

It baffles me that the guy who made Mean Girls directed this. He was so promising, what happened? The ex-boyfriend looks like something out of a 2005 movie. To be pretty honest Cameron is quite hot even before the transformation - or maybe I just have a weird taste And I get why they cast Rachael Leigh Cook and Matthew Lillard in this movie but is so... tacky, obvious and uninspired. I'd rather have members of the original cast playing the same characters again, in another context, as if it was almost a direct sequel, than playing other characters.

old white men in suits dont know a thing about teens. She wouldnt have been cancelled AT ALL. she would've gained more fame actually. also, they should be grateful that everyone has forgotten Addison's past and just see her as "annoying tiktok dance girl" or else this movie wouldnt have gotten any attention at all

I love how hard you're trying not to be shady but we all know there's no other way to react to this movie haha I loooove you

I heard that Miramax is looking to remake a lot of their filmography so look forward to that y'all.

Addison’s outfits in the movie were literally pieces from 2013-2015 and I’m scared of it coming back tbh 👁👄👁

bless you angel, for putting in the work so we don't have to

i'm vicariously watching bad movies through you- i'd NEVER be able to put myself through that (side note- i dig that eyeliner)

Mina was so angry. I loved it

he’s all that literally felt like one long youtube sketch

She’s all that isn’t great or special, but I always thought the reason Laney was not popular was her attitude, which was appalling, really, she was rude to everyone with no reason. The makeover was not so bad, they tried a little, with the “not improved, but new”. And I liked that Zach had an arc and actually learned and evolved personally through his friendship with Laney. Did not even consider watching the new one. Thanks for the taking one for the team, Mina, great video!

cameron’s ass is NOT listening to gg allin 😭 he looks like his favorite band is death grips

Honestly, this movie would've been an excellent opportunity to shed some light on the body/image issues men/boys face

patiently waiting for your costume review of amazon’s new cinderella…

Cameron would definitely be one of those guys on twitter who would comment on girls twitter posts and say “ratio” or something like that

i can't wait for gen z to grow up and make films about our real experiences because i can't think of one popular modern teen romcom/drama that does it well (i bet they do exist but aren't as well-known as netflix movies and such)

ive never heard of this film but im watching the whole of this video bc i love mina

That loose continuity thing with the red dress was such a BRILLIANT idea I have no clue how they didn’t think about it! People would have loved it more if it actually was the real laini!

i would recommend watching “love don’t cost a thing” on netflix instead of this one!!! so good 🥺💕

Mina you're my favourite person to watch on youtube, you're wonderful!

I cringe every time I see BetterHelp, but I also understand people need to make their bag too 🤷🏽‍♀️

The makeover in Wild Child is the only good one I've seen. She activity chooses to change her appearance & it shows her character development.

would love to see a video about the costuming in freaky friday and the parent trap!! a bit of a palate cleanser after this mess… great video as always!!!!

Can Netflix stop with these remakes. Like all of are just so terrible and unnecessary.

I agree on Mina's point on the ending. I kinda think it was off too when I finished watching it how she ditched college to travel the world (frankly, if she HAD money to travel the world, why didn't she just use that money for college). A better ending would have been her finding another sponsor for funds and encouraging Cameron to take photography in college or something and travel during spring breaks. They would probably get other PRs with Padgett's social media influence and Cameron's photography skills. (but hey what do I know XD) (ps. not saying it's really really bad to not go to college ok just agreeing on mina's take on 16:19 how it wasn't really a good message for teens out there)

“We’re not Mula-ahn!” I was always unnnerved by that scene too!

Amazing video Mina!

Hey, I'd like to tell you that your name in portuguese/br means "girl", but as a slang. Menina (girl) - Mina (slang for "menina") 🇧🇷☺️ For exemple: - Essa menina/mina - This girl

Loved your commentary on this rather atrocious movie. As a teen myself I think it’s a little tone deaf on how actual teens live, dress, our morals, etc. Would love to see you do a video on the Babysitters club series!

I JUST SAW THIS ON YOUR STORY AND WAS SO HAPPY- THIS IS THE VIDEO I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED

I watched She’s All That when I was a kid so I’m definitely bias about it. My fav scene is the prom dance off w Usher as the DJ.

Mina!!! We’ve been waiting for an explanation about the IMG digitals

YOUR VOICE YOUR BRAIN YOUR VISUALS YOU'RE SO AMAZING TY FOR EXISTING + I THINK THE THERAPIST THING IS GONNA HELP A LOT OF PPL SO TYY

i love u sm you're such an icon!!!!!!!

"we're not Mulan" made me laugh so hard

Hi Ms Mina I absolutely love how you research everything so well. AND ACCURATELY, with relevance to current "era" if we may say. Watching you is like delightfully reading a solid piece of article, but with aesthetics. Most of all, your confidence to carefully balance out the "pros" and " cons" and add your own analysis CONFIDENTLY but with respect. You are so eloquent at what you're doing. I cannot believe you are doing this professionally. What a treat to watch you. Just wow. Thank you for gracing the internet !!!!! ^_^

i've been wondering, do you watch the movies a couple of times to be able to discuss them in such detail, or do you just take notes while watching the first time? or something else?

love your videos as always

I found your channel about a month ago and I love it. I can see all the effort put into each video and I love seeing your takes on everything! :) Very well made and very entertaining/enriching
