The romantic comedy saw a young Lively as Louise Miller, a high school misfit who was given special powers by seer Madame Serena (Zelda Rubinstein) on her 16th birthday. She uses her newfound gifts to gain popularity, get revenge on bullies and, of course, help her crush — football team captain Brad Powell (Dan Gauthier).
“It’s just so campy and fun, but it has a really sweet message and I think that’s why people love it so much,” Lively said ET.

“I would be Louise,” Lively said. “But for me, the story would be mom, daughter. I pass it on to my 16 year old self. Wouldn’t that be fun?”
