Rachael Leigh Cook, who starred as Laney Boggs in She's All That, returns for the film. This time around, she plays Padgett's mother, a nurse named Anna Sawyer. Similarly, Matthew Lillard makes a quick cameo at the end. In the original, Lillard played the guy Taylor Vaughan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) leaves Zackary Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) for, but in this film, he's actually the school principal.
