Inspired by Shakespeare's Twelfth Night

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2006)

If you liked 10 things I hate about you then you'll love this too. It is a classic chick flick but there's plenty for the boys to enjoy as well:plenty of female eye candy and football! The whole hidden identity theme is cleverly done and there are some terrific laugh out loud moments as we observe viola's struggles at trying to convince everyone she's her twin brother. It is quite predictable, as these movies often are, but that's the beauty of it. It is such a great comedy that you don't mind when you're not surprised by the ending. Vinnie Jones turns in a typical performance that you've seen before - shouting and making angry faces but he does it well enough. But the star of the movie is Viola played by Amanda Bynes - she is truly a great comedienne. Just check out her witty one-liners and facial expressions ... Hilarious!
