A delightful, yet corny, "Man" lights up the screen.

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2006)

"She's the Man" is a delightful slapstick comedy, loosely based on Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." The always entertaining Amanda Bynes stars as Viola who disguises herself as her twin brother Sebastian so she can play soccer after her woman's league is terminated. Although you don't think of it while you watch, Bynes hardly looks like a guy. Her manly performance is found more in her stature and words.
The role of Duke is played amply by Channing Tatum and allows you to see inside the thoughts of some sensitive guys.
Although it becomes corny at the end - what chick flick doesn't - it is altogether a highly funny and entertaining film that leaves you wanting a boy friend and to play soccer.
This film is perfect for ages 13 and up although some adults might find the innuendo a little trying at times.
