It was funny...but it was not enough

Rating: 6/10 (11 October 2006)

I have mixed feelings about this movie. I like the idea cause I really like "Twelfth Night". and they did a good job. it was really funny. but something was missing and I don't know what. I really enjoyed the over-the-top performance of Amandy Bynes. and Channing Tatum is simply hot. and can act as well. I simply adored him being all shy around "Olivia". but for some reason Amanda as Sebastian had much more chemistry with Channing then Amanda as Viola. maybe it was intended this way. there was not much of football in it which I didn't mind but there wasn't much of anything else. just another proof that Amanda is an incredible physical comedian. and that Channing should think of making few more comedy movies himself. what I really didn't like was the "revelation" it was way too pathetic. even for an American movie. I must mention the supporting cast, they were simply brilliant. the headmaster cutting roses and serving lunch in cafeteria. the not-so-divorced parents. the supportive friends of Viola - I love Paul. but the best one was definitely the coach of Iliria. just for him I would give this movie 10 points. but I cant.
