Great film, especially for preteens

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2010)

I watched this with my 8 year old and we loved it (maybe I did more than her because i remember watching the "Amanda Show" with my older daughter). Amanda Bynes is hilarious, and does a great job as a "guy". Some of the scenes are really too funny, like with the tampons. I never thought I'd ever see that done by ANYONE, let alone a Hollywood actress. But you can tell Bynes is not the typical Hollywood actress by watching this. You can see how she puts her unique sense of humor into the film, the same sense of humor that made me (as an adult) laugh at the "Amanda Show".
It's not a probable scenario in the end, but it doesn't detract from the movie as it's really for kids, and kids want fantasy, not reality. They want a world where everything will be OK, and everyone's happy, and they get that in this movie.
