He's All That

In the end, Cameron, who initially appeared to be the least confident and most cynical boy, surprises everyone by arriving at prom on a horse, symbolizing that he’s willing to go to great lengths for Padgett. When he tells her he was moved by her speech and they reconcile, it signifies that he genuinely sees her for who she is beneath the superficial makeover. Their reunion indicates a true connection beyond appearances, and they end the story together, clearly happy. Padgett, who once cared a lot about her social media image, chooses to be with Cameron in a simple but meaningful way, even tattooing “loser” on their arms as part of a playful gesture from their bet. Despite some superficial elements throughout the film, the ending emphasizes that real worth lies in genuine relationships and self-acceptance. Padgett’s journey from superficial influencer to someone who values authentic connection is highlighted by this reconciliation, making the ending both heartfelt and optimistic. Meanwhile, other characters, like Alden and Celeste, find their own resolutions—Alden, after losing the prom queen title to Padgett and being publicly humiliated, is left to reflect on her actions, while Celeste is recognized as deserving of her new title. The film closes with a funny, light-hearted touch from Principal Bosch and a hint of romantic chemistry withPadgett’s mother, adding a humorous sign-off to a story about superficiality and sincerity. Ultimately, the ending celebrates the idea that true beauty and worth are found in true connections, not in social media fame or superficial popularity.
