"Shes
the Man", the new romantic comedy starring Amanda Bynes,
is worth the $9 admissions fee at the movie theatre. 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!
