Shakespearean comedy and American high school are a match made in heaven--or Hollywood, at any rate. Somehow the exaggerated emotions and budding hormones of adolescence are perfectly suited to Shakespeare's twisty plots, and She's the Man is a perfect example. Viola (Amanda Bynes, What a Girl Wants) is furious when she learns that her high school, Cornwall, has cut the girl's soccer team--so furious that she takes advantage of her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk, Final Destination 2) skipping town for a few weeks to take his place at his school, Illyria, so she can join the soccer team there. But her disguise as her brother leads to complications when she falls in love with her soccer-playing roommate and the girl he's in love with falls in love with "Sebastian"... Bynes may not be entirely persuasive as a high school boy, but she's got the charm and sprightliness to make the audience follow her anyway. The clever script walks a fine balance, treating the situation realistically enough to make Viola's efforts matter, but zipping along quickly enough that we don't worry too much about the details. As Duke and Olivia--the other two parts of the love triangle--Channing Tatum and Laura Ramsey combine sex appeal with engaging sweetness; the excellent supporting cast includes David Cross (Arrested Development), Julie Hagerty (Airplane!), and former British soccer star Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). All in all, a delightful bit of fun. --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars She's the Man, March 28, 2006

By	Michael Zuffa (Racine, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Soccer-playing Viola (Bynes) is really upset when the girls' soccer team is cut. The boys' team does not want any girls on it, so Viola decides to impersonate her brother Sebastian (Kirk), who conveniently is starting a new school where he is unknown. He is also skipping out of the first weeks of school in order to pursue a musical career in Europe. Being Sebastian, she can play soccer, and maybe even get some revenge on her own school's team.

Everything is going well for Viola until she falls in love with her roommate (Tatum). Of course, he is interested in Olivia (Ramsey), and Olivia has got her eye on Viola. The only thing that could make things more complicated for Viola is if her brother were to come home early. And he does.

"She's the Man" is loosly based on William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night", and works pretty well. The majority of this film's success is due to Amanda Bynes as Viola. While never really looking like a guy, she has the enthusiasm and screen presence to make this an enjoyable film. Although aimed primarily at the teen audience, others will find enjoyment in it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute and funny chickflick!, August 27, 2006

By	A. Triglia (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For a teenage chickflick, I really loved this movie! Amanda Bynes is a great actress. She's down to earth, funny and has a great personality. The characters that she portrays in movies are very similar to the characters she plays in TV Shows. Nonetheless, she's amazing at the roles that she plays.

I've grown up watching Amanda on Nickeloden, then WB, and now movies. I like that she's down to earth and not at all stuck up or prissy!

Overall, this is a great comedy especially for a teenage date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastically hilarious!, April 11, 2006

By	CHîM€ð_®ø× "SCritchley" (England, Wigan) - See all my reviews

From the minute I saw the trailer for this film I wanted to see it, so as soon as it came out in cinemas I was buying my ticket. It was probably one of the best film choices I ever made. With witty lines and fabulous acting it managed something a lot of films can't do anymore; it was funny without resorting to being crude or distasteful. It was entertaining from beginning to end with yet another incredible performance from Amanda Bynes whose physical comedy and subtle humour made the movie shine. It also managed to stay true to the majority of the storyline for Shakespeare's Twelfth Night which it was based on. It even had actual names from the play such as Viola (who in the film dresses up as her twin brother Sebastian) Malvolio (who is the spider in the film) and quotes ("some are born great, some acheive greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them" from the play.) I recommend it to anyone looking to thoroughly enjoy themselves!
