MOVIE REVIEW:

By Kyra-lin Hom
“She’s the Man” based on Shakespeare’s The Twelfth Night
directed by Andy Fickman
written by Ewan Leslie, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith

Viola Hastings (Amanda Bynes), a soccer star and student of Cornwall High School, goes to try out for the soccer team only to find out that the team has been cut, so she tries out for the boys’ team – no luck. Her twin brother, Sebastian (James Kirk), just so happens to be going out of town for two weeks – unbeknownst to both of their divorced parents – so Viola decides to impersonate him at Illyria High School, a boarding school straight out of a screenwriter’s desperate imagination, and try out for the Illyria boys’ soccer team in order to put those Cornwall boys in their places.
Once at Illyria, Viola-as-Sebatstian only makes the soccer team’s second string, but her roommate is luckily the delectable and dearly sensitive team captain, Duke Orsino (Channing Tatum). Viola crushes on Duke, who has the hots for Olivia (Laura Ramsey), who in turn falls head over heals for Viola-as-Sebastian thus completing the high school love triangle that propels the rest of the story.
