Sex and nudity in He's All That
This category is moderate. In an early scene, a character is seen cheating on his girlfriend with a backup dancer who dances suggestively. Characters wear revealing outfits, including bikinis at a pool party and a man briefly in his underwear. There is some sexual innuendo, including a double-entendre about a "riding lesson." A male character makes an unwanted advance on a female character at a party, and the central couple shares a few passionate kisses.
Violence and gore in He's All That
Violence is mild and infrequent. The main instance is a brief fistfight between two male characters at a party, which is not graphic. Other content includes a character having a public meltdown that goes viral (a form of cyberbullying), an instance of high school bullying where a character is pushed, and a moment of slapstick peril where a science experiment catches on fire.
Language in He's All That
Language is a strong component throughout. The dialogue contains at least two uses of "f--k," multiple uses of "s--t," "dick," "ass," and "bullshit." Milder terms like "damn" and "crap" are also used. A character gives another the middle finger in one scene. The frequency and strength of the profanity are the main reasons for a teen-focused rating.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in He's All That
Substance use is moderate. There are two separate house parties where high schoolers are shown drinking alcohol from red cups and bottles. The drinking is depicted casually as part of the party atmosphere. One IMDb user reports a brief scene showing a character dealing and taking drugs on school property.
Mature themes in He's All That
Thematic content is moderate and central to the story. The film's entire premise is built on deception (the bet) and the pressures of maintaining a curated, inauthentic social media persona. Themes of public humiliation, cyberbullying, and social cruelty are prominent. Deeper themes include a character coping with the past death of a parent and navigating family divorce.
