Editorial Review:
Amanda Bynes proves that girls can do anything guys can do in She’s the Man. The laughs are non-stop when Viola (Bynes), disguised as her twin brother, Sebastian (James Kirk), joins the high school boys’ soccer team and helps win the big game while unexpectedly falling for Duke (Channing Tatum) the hot star forward. Viola discovers that dealing with high school politics and twisted love triangles is a major challenge when you’re a guy who’s really a girl! She’s the Man features an ensemble cast of up and coming stars and hit songs from OK-Go, The Veronicas & the F-ups. It’s perfect for good-time summer fun!
Description of She's the Man (Widescreen Edition):
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
She's the Man (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Very Funny!!! 
2009-12-28 - I received this as a Christmas present. I think this movie is incredibly hilarious! Amanda Bynes does an awesome job at pretending to be a boy. Bynes plays Viola Hastings who loves playing Soccer and becomes devastated that the girls' team is being cut. When her brother skips town for a few weeks, Viola dresses up as him so she can play boys' soccer at a rival school. She begins to fall in love with her roommate, who believes she is a guy. I highly recommend SHE'S THE MAN!!!
Excellent!!
2009-11-24 - I like getting what I paid for in a timely manner and you did just that. Thank-you!
Really Enjoyed it 
2009-11-17 - I found the movie to be cute and refresshing. It's not Vulgar or sex crazed, therefore I would have no problem watching it with my nieces. Its a pleasure to see a teen acting like a teen, not a slut.
great movie!
2009-10-29 - The movie is very funny and romantic. I like it a lot. I think everyone should buy and see this movie. In the movie, Viola and Sebastian really do look alike.....I mean when Viola dresses as her brother Sebastian. If it was me, I could never ever dare to do that. I would just rather stay as a girl. Imagine me having to go take a shower with all those other boys or girls thinking that I'm cute. I think it's disappointing that the movie didn't make it at least #2 when it first came out. I really had a great time seeing this movie. I love Amanda! She's amazing.
Amanda, Amanda, Amanda.
2009-10-26 - I never thought I would see you playing as a boy. But you surprised me, you did an amazing job. it's a good movie, even the boys will like it. Its not a chick flick, its more like a teen comedy. There are some parts I'd change but I'm not the director. Overall, good movie. Some parts had me going, and most of the time my sister was ooh and ahhing at Channing Tatum.
