10 Greatest Guilty Pleasure Movies Of The 90s

2. She's All That

If you were alive in the late 1990s, you know that at the time, there was no cooler teen movie couple than Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachael Lee Cook. It didn't even matter that the storyline of She's All That is about taking a beautiful, unique girl who is pretty much happy with her own life and convincing her that what she really wants to be is a homecoming queen.

Or that we're all supposed to believe that anyone in their right mind could look at Rachael Lee Cook and think that she was this deformed freak that could never in a million years become popular. She's All That, after all, is the poster child for the ugly duckling makeover complete with ponytail and glasses removal.

Despite all of these very legitimate misgivings, Prinze and Cook make an inherently likeable screen couple, both possessing the charisma to rise above the somewhat dubious plot. Also, bonus points for early performances by the late great Paul Walker and Usher as popular friend/high school dance choreographer.
