Fun brainless summer flick

Rating: 7/10 (1 August 2006)

Each and every summer a number of films gets released that works best when the brain is disconnected from the body. This is one of those. Viola wants to play football (as in, soccer). The girl team gets canned, so it looks like her dreams won't be coming true there. But, there's a chance - a slim one: her brother is out of the country for a while and she might just be able to take his place for a bit.
And presto, you've got the start up for a series of misunderstandings, college jokes, light homophobia, bits of under the belt zone humor, and all in all, enough good stuff to get a light film rolling and keeping it rolling until the end sequence starts.
Bynes is one of the many oncoming actresses and she plays this one nice enough - not that the film thrives on good or bad acting, the storyline is too thin for that. All other characters are done nice enough too (with a plethora of clichés played out), and all in all I can say I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
7 out of 10 girls in the boys football team.
