Funny!!

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2006)

Amanda Bynes carries this film on her shoulders and the result isn't too bad at all! We all knew she did great impersonations, admittedly I used to watch her show on Nickolodeon from time to time. Her talents have improved further since then and she is a comedic genius in this film. Going into this film I thought 'oh no, why have I agreed to watch this teen film, someone save me!'. By the time Viola dresses up and goes to her brother's school as Sebastian, I forgot what the alternative to watching this even was! Hilarious parts follow one another, the result being the whole theatre laughing out loud continuously for 5 minutes or more at a time, something which I haven't experienced in a while to be honest! It's an idea that has been used so many times, male dresses up as female, female dresses up as male yet there are some true comedic parts in there which are original, fresh! And Bynes' own talent just adds to the fun!! Great comedy, which I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a few laughs.
