Staying in
TV picks: Don't give the movie She's All That (8 p.m., USA) any points for originality or daring. Do, however, credit it for sharp casting and solid execution. The plot simply moves Pygmalion to high school: A popular guy boasts that he can turn anyone into a prom queen. Starring: Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook, with pop stars Lil' Kim and Usher, plus Anna Paquin and Jodi Lyn O'Keefe.
Other choices include Confident for Life: Kids and Body Image (7 p.m., Disney Channel). After filming the beautiful people in The Hamptons, documentary-maker Barbara Kopple looks at people dealing with these sleek images of beauty. Ranging from full-figured models to a fat camp for kids, her film looks at the effects of body image.
