Review of She's the Man (2006) by Mrmoviebuff — 19 Feb 2016
'She's the Man' has an interesting premise that could have been executed effortlessly...but the question is; how do you execute this premise so well? Someday there may be another movie out there that will do that, but for now, this might have to suffice. Unless you count the Robin Williams classic 'Mrs Doubtfire' (1993).
Amanda Bynes plays Viola, a young high school girl who loves to play soccer, and discovers that her brother Sebastian (James Kirk) is secretly heading to London for a while. She then decides to go undercover as her brother as a scheme to get into the soccer team...hopefully without anybody noticing.
Things start to get even more complicated as there is a strange romance blooming for Viola, she becomes infatuated with her roommate Duke (Channing Tatum), but she needs to play it cool.
This movie did make me laugh from time to time, as the comedic timing from Bynes mostly, proves to be very rewarding for the movie's benefit. My main issue with the movie comes from the fact that it is full of some unrealistically obnoxious side characters that are not funny nor making the movie any more intriguing. 6/10, middling comedic entertainment.
