"She's All That" Miramax

Other than the ridiculous 'means-nothing' title and the fact that these 'teenagers' don't exist outside some California fantasy, "She's all That" is actually a pleasant teen romance.
Freddie Prinze Jr. shows promise and screen presence as Zach, big man on campus at Harrison High School, one of those upper class California schools that appear in all recent teen movies. It's nearing the end of senior year and everyone's gearing up for the prom. Unfortunately for Zach, his steady girl, Taylor, the shallowest female in recent history, met one of the minor cast members from "Real Life" while on spring break and dumps Zach with just a few weeks to prom time.
Zach insists he can make any girl at the high school prom queen in the time left to prom, and a so-called friend dares him to do it, but he gets to pick the girl. Enter Lainie, (Rachael Leigh Cook)an intense art student from a middle class family, a real mis-fit in this 'image is everything' environment. Lainie is a solitary type and when Zach starts showing an interest in her, she wants nothing to do with him or his snobbish friends. But Zach perserveres, and with his sister's (Anna Pacquin's) help, Lainie blossoms into a very pretty girl looking like a younger Winona Ryder. Zach falls for her but doesn't realize it until it's almost too late.
"She's All That" is ultimately predictable, but has a few surprises along the way. It gets a B-.

((NANCY GALLI/NANCY'S HOMEMADE FUDGE: BASICALLY, WHAT HE STARTS WITH IS-- THIS IS 300 POUNDS AND HE DOES 300 POUNDS AT A TIME AND HE STARTS WITH SUGAR, LOTS AND LOTS OF SUGAR. WE START WITH BUTTER AND CREAM. WE DO USE HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM...)) [RUNS:12]
If you're on a diet, you'd better not stop here...
For the last 10 years, Nancy Galli has been the creative force behind these sweet concoctions...

((NANCY GALLI/NANCY'S HOMEMADE FUDGE: AS I ALWAYS SAY, I HAVE A VERY BIG SWEET TOOTH. I'VE ALWAYS HAD A BIG SWEET TOOTH.)) [RUNS:04]
Nancy's Homemade Fudge Factory is one of only a couple wholesale manufacturing candy companies IN Virginia.
Over the years, it's become quite popular with people travelling along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

[SOT 11:19:29 ]
((NANCY GALLI/NANCY'S HOMEMADE FUDGE: THEY SEE THE SIGN AND THEY SAY, "AH! CANDY FACTORY!" THEY HAVE TO STOP AND SEE AND HAVE A TASTE. SO, YES, WE SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE COMING OFF THE PARKWAY AND LOTS OF PEOPLE JUST DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL AREA, MEADOWS OF DAN IS JUST A GORGEOUS LITTLE PLACE. PEOPLE LIKE TO COME AND JUST VISIT.))
[RUNS:15]
Galli opened her retail store in the factory four years ago...but most of her business still comes from shipping.

[SOT 11:17:59]
((NANCY GALLI/NANCY'S HOMEMADE FUDGE: WE SELL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE A FEW CUSTOMERS IN CANADA. WE DO HAVE ONE IN BERMUDA, WHICH WOULD BE A GREAT SALES CALL. WE HAVE A CUSTOMER OR TWO IN MEXICO.)) [RUNS:11]

[SOT standup 11:48:03 ]
((KIMBERLY MCBROOM/NEWS 7: THIS SPRING, NANCY'S CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE A BIGGER PLACE TO SATISFY THEIR SWEET TOOTH. THIS NEW FACTORY UNDER CONSTRUCTION WILL BE LARGE ENOUGH TO ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO SEE THE ENTIRE CANDY-MAKING PROCESS, AND IS EXPECTED TO SWEETEN SALES BY 25 TO 50 PERCENT.)) [RUNS:15]
(/////SOT/////)
[SOT 11:18:54 **B-ROLL WITH SHOTS OF STORE ]
((NANCY GALLI/NANCY'S HOMEMADE FUDGE: RIGHT NOW, THE STORE IS A SMALL STORE. THEY CAN COME IN AND BUY WHATEVER THEY LIKE AND HAVE A TASTE OF WHATEVER THEY LIKE TO SAMPLE. BUT THEY CAN ONLY LOOK THROUGH ONE LARGE WINDOW AND THEY CAN ONLY SEE THE FUDGE BEING MADE.)) [RUNS:11]
In the new facility, candy lovers will get to see all that goes into making their favorites like caramel turtles and amaretto coffee spoons.
And just to "sugar- coat" it even more, Galli is also planning on a video tracing the HISTORY of candy.
