The film takes the premise of the 1999 teen comedy classic, She Is All That (loosely based on Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw and the 1964 classic, My Fair Lady) and turns it upside down.
The original follows a popular athlete (Freddie Prinze Jr.) who makes a bet to turn an ‘unattractive’ girl (Rachel Leigh Cook) and turn her into the prom queen.
The remake follows a popular girl (Rae) who takes on the challenge of turning the biggest loser in her school (Buchanan) into the prom king.
