A great laugh, and a great view


So She's the man was on tv yesterday and it happens to be one of my favouritteee movies. I love it. Incase you haven't seen it here's a bit of a review that will hopefully sell you on renting it!



"Shes the Man", the new romantic comedy starring Amanda Bynes, is worth the couple dollars fee at the blockbuster or rogers video. But you might want to leave the boyfriend home for this one. It's what they would call a "chick flick". But the movie is fun with lots of laughs and has some serious eye candy.
It's a modern day version of William Shapespear's "Twelfth Night." It starts with Viola (Bynes) kicking some ass playing soccer. The girls soccer team at her high school gets cut and their failed attempt to play on the boys team shows Viola how hot headed and sexist her boyfriend is, so she dumps him on the spot. Just then, her twin brother Sebastian decides to go to England for a couple weeks even though he is starting at a new high school.
Viola decides to dress as her brother and steal his identity at the new school so she can play on the boys soccer team. She soon falls in love with her (gorgeous) roomate at the boys dorm, Duke, who is in love with Olivia. Olivia is lab partners with Sebastian (Viola) and falls in love with him. All the while, Monique, Sebastians ex-girlfriend, is fighting to get him back. It's a huge tangled mess thats sure to put a smile on your face. And in a strange way it's not confusing at all.
Amanda Bynes is not believable as a boy at all. She has such a pretty face it would be hard to cover up her feminine features. It takes a lot to convince the others Sebastian is a boy. But overall it's a great way to spend some quality time with the girls!

  1. I absolutely love this movie. You did a great job going over the plot (especially such a complicated one). The only thing I would recommend would be to add more of your opinion in your review. Good tone and flow.

  3. I have to agree with rebecca, you did a good job outlining a very confusing plot of inpersonation and tangled teenage lovelives. You did a good job with the description, it felt alittle too objective, try putting more your own personal thoughts about the movie into the review.
    good job, i love this movie
