Overall, She's All That is a good idea for a Valen tines' date. (Grade: B) A fresh approach to a used story line, She’s All That combines My Fair Lady and Can’t Buy Me Love to cre ate a highly-entertaining hybrid of teen angst. Beginning the Monday after spring break, Zach (Prinze), the high school hunk and senior class presi dent, is dumped by his prom queen girlfriend. To salvage his wounded pride, Zach bets his best friend that he can turn the alternative, artsy, class outcast Laney Boggs (Cook) into the prom queen. Although the ending is obvious long before the movie’s conclusion. She’s All That is a movie with inter esting characters and a mostly realis tic view of teen life. Prinze as Zach adds depth and intelligence to the normally shallow “most popular kid in school’’ char acter. Cook (of “Dawson’s Creek” fame) also brings a surprising sensi tivity to her character that pulls the movie through its more cliched mo ments. Matthew Lillard [Scream) adds hilarity and a touch of sarcasm to the film as a loser role on the real- life MTV show “The Real World.” Director Iscarov, a former chore ographer, does stumble a few times — the “Soul Tl'ain”-esque dance — Susan Overcash Gloria Starring Sharon Stone Directed by Sidney Lument Playing at Hollywood 16 Sidney Lument is a man of many credits. With some 50 Academy Award nominations under his belt and a film portfolio including Dog Day Afternoon and Network, Lument has become a Hollywood legend. Unfortunately, a wrong turn was made when Gloria was brought to the drawing board. Gloria opens with the title char acter (Stone) being escorted out of jail in a slinky black dress, while the other female inmates taunt and jeer.
