She's the He refreshes the high school comedy formula with sharp wit and genuine heart to craft an endearingly scrappy, resonant story of belonging and identity.

3/4

It feels like an old-fashioned high-school flick about friendship, but one that has new ideas. It’s the rarest of skills, making something new out of something old.

The film’s endearingly scrappy creation has something worth saying: If the world won’t make a place for you, make one for yourself.

She’s the He deserves the utmost respect for giving people something that the world needs more of: raunchy trans comedies.

McCarthy is clearly a talent to watch and Osherovich gives an outstanding performance, making something more memorable than the average high school romp.

If you’ve wanted a horny, raunchy, occasionally sweet, politically incorrect, Judd Apatow-esque comedy about trans people, this is a fantastic way to spend 90 minutes.
