"He's All That," out Friday on Netflix, is a gender-swapped remake of "She's All That."
The remake contains several nods to the 1999 movie, including a recreation of the iconic red dress.
Warning: The post contains some spoilers for "He's All That."

"He's All That" protagonist Padgett Sawyer (played by Addison Rae) wears a long red dress to the prom in a nod to the iconic red dress worn by Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook) in "She's All That."

Cook isn't the only actor from the 1999 movie who makes an appearance in "He's All That." Matthew Lillard makes a memorable cameo as well.

At the end of the Netflix remake, Lillard breaks into a dance at the school prom in a nostalgic recreation of his "Give It To Me Baby" dance from "She's All That."

Lillard isn't the only one dancing. "He's All That" features an intense dance-off at the prom between Padgett and her rival Alden (Madison Pettis) similar to the "She's All That" dance-off featuring Taylor.

Padgett's ex-boyfriend, Jordan, is obsessed with having cameras document his every move - a lot like Brock.

Pool parties spell romantic disaster for the popular leads in the two movies. Fortunately, it's short-lived for both Padgett and Zack.

Padgett's bedroom is noticeably more fancy than the rest of the house, possibly because it's the only room all her followers see in her videos.

Padgett's wardrobe, like her room, is almost entirely pink. The only time she's not wearing pink is when she wears the red prom dress.

During one of her beauty live streams, Padgett touts products from Bunny Venom, one of the brands sponsoring her, but a quick trip to her bathroom (away from the cameras) shows that she doesn't actually use any of their products in her daily life.

After Padgett elbows her way into a riding lesson with Cameron to get close to him, he tells her that one of the horses likes and trusts her. Later in the movie, Padgett is seen riding that same horse.

Padgett's cheating ex-boyfriend wears a #TeamAniston tank top to the pool party in honor of his new girlfriend, Aniston. It's also a subtle nod to the 2005 feud between Jennifer Aniston along with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
