She’s the Man (2006) – Movie Reviews Categories Movie Reviews , Uncategorized She’s the Man is a 2006 American romantic film directed by Andy Fickman, inspired by William Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night. The film stars Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, Laura Ramsey, and Vinnie Jones. Plot: Viola Hastings (Amanda Bynes) is a teenage girl who plays for her high school soccer team. When the school suddenly cuts the girls’ team, Viola requests to join the boys’ team instead but is refused by their misogynistic coach. Meanwhile her twin brother, Sebastian (James Kirk) is supposed to enroll in Illyria, an elite boarding school, but he secretly goes to London for a contest with his fledging band instead. Viola agrees to cover for him by informing the school he is sick but, unbeknownst to him, she decides to pass herself off as Sebastian in hopes of joining their boy’s team and beating Cornwall in an upcoming game to prove their coach and her cocky ex-boyfriend, Justin (Robert Hoffman), wrong.

With the help of her stylist friend, Paul (Jonathan Sadowski), she is transformed into “Sebastian” and joins Illyria in his place. While moving in, she meets her roommate, Duke Orsino (Channing Tatum), an attractive soccer player and Illyria’s team captain. During tryouts, Viola fails to impress Coach Dinklage (Vinnie Jones) and is assigned to second string, much to her dismay. Her teammates including Duke initially dislike “Sebastian” due to his awkward and strange behaviour. However, with help from Paul once again, they begin to accept him into their social circle. At one point, Sebastian’s arrogant girlfriend, Monique (Alex Breckenridge), who is unaware that he is in London almost catches Viola but she manages to escape, “breaking up” with Monique in the process. “Sebastian” then gets the popular and pretty Olivia (Laura Ramsey) as his lab partner, which frustrates Duke as he has feelings for her. “Sebastian” agrees to put in a good word for Duke if he promises to train him to be a better soccer player. Coach Dinklage eventually notices “Sebastian’s” effort and improvement, thus promoting him to first string.

At the Junior League carnival that the siblings promised their mother to attend, “Sebastian” is forced to switch between herself (Viola) and Sebastian while trying to avoid their mother and Monique. At the kissing booth, Olivia’s shift is over right before Duke gets to kiss her. It is now Viola’s shift instead and the two share a passionate kiss, only to be interrupted by Justin followed by a fist fight between Duke and Justin. Duke expresses to “Sebastian” that he might move on from Olivia as he is starting to like Viola now. Viola is delighted as she secretly feels the same way. Olivia who now has a crush on “Sebastian” asks Duke out on a date in hopes that it will make “Sebastian” jealous. Viola who is unaware of Olivia’s true intentions is enraged instead because Duke has now abandoned his interest in Viola. When Viola finds out the truth, she encourages Olivia to tell Sebastian directly about her feelings. The situation becomes even more complicated when the real Sebastian returns from London a day early unbeknownst to Viola. As soon as he arrives at Illyria, Olivia confesses her feelings and kisses him. Duke, seeing this, believes his roommate has betrayed him.

When “Sebastian” returns to their room, the two have an argument and Duke kicks him out. The real Sebastian returns to the room much later when Duke is asleep. Viola stays in Eunice’s room for the night but oversleeps and misses the first half of the game. The real Sebastian is mistaken for his sister’s impersonation of him and winds up poorly playing his sister’s game instead. Monique, along with Illyria’s pesky dorm director (and Olivia’s stalker) Malcolm, report to Principal Gold (David Cross) of Viola’s impersonation, believing them, he halts the game and informs the crowd that Sebastian is a girl. The real Sebastian being present at the time proves himself to be male by exposing his genitals (off-screen). At half-time, Viola explains the situation to Sebastian and they switch places again. Duke, still furious at “Sebastian”, refuses to cooperate with him on the field. Determined to fix amends with Duke, “Sebastian” explains the truth that he is actually Viola, convincing Duke and everyone else by exposing her breasts (off-screen).

Coach Drinklage agrees to let Viola play anyway, sternly informing Cornwall’s misogynistic coach that Illyria doesn’t discriminate based on gender. Illyria wins the game when Viola scores a goal, finally humiliating Justin and the rest of the Cornwall boys. Everyone at Illyria celebrates their victory over Cornwall, except for Duke who is hurt at Viola’s deception. She invites Duke to her debutante ball, but he doesn’t respond to her invitation. At the ball, Viola is skeptical that Duke will show up but he eventually does just in time to escort her on stage, where they share a kiss. At the end of the film, Viola and Duke are shown happily playing on Illyria’s soccer team together. 9/10 She’s the Man: Shakespeare’s soccer movie - C.W. Nevius Blog C.W. Nevius Blog She’s the Man: Shakespeare’s soccer movie By C.W. Nevius on August 21, 2006 at 6:57 AM Print Off the Shelf: A periodic review of new DVDs. She’s the Man. A teen romantic comedy loosely based on William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” Directed by Andy Fickman.

Starring Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, and Julie Hagerty. Rated PG-13 for some sexual content. “Twelfth Night,” is a play with problems. Shakespeare’s comedy is too good not to riff off, but anyone who attempts it knows there will have to be a reckoning with two difficult plot points. First, the actress playing the romantic lead, Olivia, must be able to play a guy. And not just a man, but a dashing, handsome, and — let’s just say it — sexy guy who can convince the beautiful Viola to fall in love with him. And second, a male actor must be found who can convincingly play Olivia’s identical twin. DreamWorks Studio Uh, OK, Amanda, that’s great. You look like a sloppy guy. Now could you stop it? Neither is an easy task. But there’s no finessing them, no matter how you tinker with the setting and the place. The whole plot turns on those two improbable quirks. If they don’t work, you’ve got nothing. “She’s the Man,” a frothy teen romantic comedy set in the present day, gets it at least half right.

Amanda Bynes pulls off the transformation to a boy nicely. She’s Lyndsay Lohan without the drama, and Bynes mugs enthusiastically. In fact, she goes so far in channeling her inner guy that there are moments — like when she is gnawing voraciously on a turkey leg — that she not only looks like a teenage boy, that boy is grossing us out. In ten years Bynes won’t want to see that footage. Less successful is James Kirk as her twin. He’s clearly much taller and more muscular. But what are you going to do? It is hard enough to cast actors who can handle comedy. Do they have to look identical? Some find the physical differences a deal breaker, but hey, it has been a problem since the 1600s when the Bard wrote it. Do you want to quibble or do you want to enjoy the show? I’d vote for enjoying the show. This is as painless a dose of Shakespeare are is likely to be administered. In fact, this is so modernized that you have to look carefully to see the roots of the plot.

If you can accept the premise, that Bynes is a soccer-playing high school girl who must impersonate her brother, Sebastian, at an all-male boarding school — that comes complete with a hunky dorm roommate — you’re off. Improbabilities abound, but hey, we’ve been dealing with those for 400 years. I suppose you think it is logical that Shakespeare’s “Winter’s Tale” includes the stage direction, “Exit, pursued by a bear?” This has all the usual elements of a teen comedy for girls. The action focuses on the sympathetic heroine, Bynes, the guys are hunky, but dim-witted, and girl dynamics are the key to everything. There have been comparisons to Lohan’s “Mean Girls,” but this isn’t so much about the secret life of teen females as it is a reinforcement of the idea that girls know what’s happening while boys spend their time scratching their jocks. The adults, meanwhile, all appear brain damaged — but in a funny way. David Cross, as Principal Gold, is as broad a parody as ever walked the stage at Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. This could easily have gone way wrong, but director Andy Fickman shows a deft touch.

This is racy enough for the teen audience, but the kind of film where, when an angry character calls someone a “piece of . . . ” the coach’s whistle cuts off the last word. Those who know the original will get a smile from the fact that the character of Duke Orsino, a member of the royal court in the play, is a soccer-playing jock named Duke Orisino. Julie Hagerty, as Olivia’s mother, gets her wide-eyed ditz on nicely, and I’m betting the line “Is it just me or does this soccer game have more nudity than usual?” gets a laugh from every age group. There is a moment or two when it appears the filmmakes are going to succumb to dumb and obvious gay jokes, but they pull back from the brink. There are some quibbles. Soccer uniforms, folks, don’t have numbers on the front, especially ones that cover the entire chest. The knock-down fights between the girls go on and on for no good reason. And Channing Tatum, as Duke, never really establishes that he’s more than just a dumb jock, although Bynes’ character insists that he is sensitive and caring.

But the fact is, this film is a minor teen girl sensation. Parents, your daughter has probably already seen it, and is talking about it with her friends. You should sit down and watch it too, just for the perspective. It’s light, it’s funny, and it is full of rampaging teen hormones. You say that doesn’t sound like something you would enjoy? What do you want? Shakespeare? C.W. Nevius Shakespeare Is Still Cool After 450 Years, and Here Are 10 Movies and TV Shows to Prove It | E! News Brazil Press Enter to Search Shakespeare Is Still Cool After 450 Years, and Here Are 10 Movies and TV Shows to Prove It By Share Email Today would have been William Shakespeare's 450th birthday, and after all these years, ol' Billy (that's what we call him because we're best buds), is still rocking it hard in Hollywood. Not only do people constantly want to make modern versions of his best works (like Leonardo DiCaprio 's Romeo + Juliet), but film and TV shows are constantly borrowing themes and storylines from Shakespeare's brain.

And we bet there are some movies that you had no idea were based on his plays. Well, we're here to educate you. You're welcome! WATCH: Speaking of remakes, get all the updates on the Mrs. Doubtfire sequel The Lion King: This Disney animated feature is basically Hamlet, but set in the animal kingdom: Simba's uncle Scar kills his dad Mufasa, and Simba seeks revenge on Scar after seeing a vision of his father's ghost. Plus, there's a farting warthog, which is ironic because we think that's the only thing missing from the original Hamlet. 10 Things I Hate About You One of our favorite movies of the '90s is actually an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew. The late, great Heath Ledger plays the high school outcast version of Petruchio (Patrick), while Julia Stiles is the stubborn Katherina (Kat) that Petruchio is dead-set on courting. West Side Story: This one is probably obvious to most of you, but some might not know that the Oscar-winning musical is based on one of the greatest (and most morbid) love stories of all time: Romeo and Juliet.

In fact, every movie and TV show that features a couple that can't help but be together despite feuding families should probably thank Shakespeare. PHOTOS: U.S. TV remakes from British series She's the Man: Oh, Amanda Bynes . We miss you. But anyway, this movie starring Bynes and Channing Tatum is inspired by Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, in which a woman in disguise as a man falls in love with another man. Even the character names are the same: Viola, Duke and Sebastian. Fortunately, we get an upgrade in the form of Channing's six-pack torso. Deliver Us from Eva: Another version of The Taming of the Shrew, but this time it stars LL Cool J and Gabrielle Union . She's the uptight know-it-all who wants to control her sisters' relationships, and he's the cocky lady's man who's hired to woo her. And guess what happens with those two? Sons Of Anarchy : While not a direct adaptation of Hamlet, FX's drama series does have heavy elements from the original play. "I don't want to overplay that but it's there.

It was Jax's father who started the club, so he's the ghost in the action," creator Kurt Sutter said about the comparisons. "It's not a version of Hamlet but it's definitely influenced by it." READ: 31 reboots and remakes that are completely unnecessary Get Over It: Do you remember when Sisqó, he of songs about thongs, was an actor for a hot minute? Well, if you didn't know that, it's probably because you didn't see this 2001 comedy based on A Midsummer Night's Dream. It also stars Ben Foster, Kirsten Dunst , Shane West and Martin Short . If you want to see a Kirsten Dunst movie set in high school, we suggest Bring It On, which is based on Shakespeare's Bringeth Oneth. OK, we made that up. O: Apparently 2001 was the year of Shakespeare adaptations, and Julia Stiles is in this one, too! It's based on Othello, but it revolves around a basketball team.

Mekhi Phifer play Odin, aka Othello, and Josh Hartnett plays the jealous Hugo (Iago) who tries to convince Odin that his girlfriend Desi (Stiles) has been unfaithful. Spoiler: this story does not end well for anyone. Big Business: You can't get cooler than Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin, who star in this comedy based on one of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays called The Comedy of Errors. It's kind of like The Parent Trap in that it involves lots of twin hijinks. Forbidden Planet: This 1956 science-fiction film borrows themes and plot points from The Tempest, but it's set in an alien world. It's known as one of the best sci-fi films of all time, which is probably the last genre you think of when you think of Shakespeare. Plus it stars Leslie Nielsen, and he always made everything better. Of course, these aren't the only films and TV shows that were made possible because of Shakespeare, but these are definitely some of the most popular. And now you know! And knowing is half the battle, right? So happy 450th birthday, Willie! (We also call him that). You look amazing for your age.

Later after Duke gets into a fight, she returns back to their room only to find him with a tampon up his nose. Butt Monkey : Malcolm, who plays the character of Malvolio in the original. Chewing the Scenery : Amanda Bynes bites into the scenery and doesn't let it go when she's playing Sebastian. Compressed Hair : Viola's long, thick hair somehow fits underneath a fairly short wig. While any cosplayer can tell you it's possible with a wig cap and hair grips, Viola's shown to wear the wig directly on top of her hair.

Covers Always Lie : Tomboy Viola doesn't like dresses and high heel shoes, and in the movie she exclusively wears pants/shorts and sneakers even when she's dressed as herself and not Sebastian!Viola. The only few times she wears a dress is because her mother forces her to. Yet on the cover she's wearing a very short skirt and high heels. Embarrassing Ringtone : Olivia has Aqua 's Barbie Girl for her ringtone. This causes some problems when she's impersonating her brother Sebastian and she forgets to change it. Exact Words : After Viola switches with her brother in the game, she convinces her coach to give her a second chance by saying "I've changed." Everyone Loves Blondes : Olivia Lennox has Duke and Malcolm chasing her and the rest of the guys admiring her but she would rather have the honest Sebastian. Foreshadowing : Monique confuses Viola for Sebastian when she was wearing a hoodie and comments on their resemblance. Fundraiser Carnival : Olivia's mom sets up a kissing booth at one.

During his meeting with Viola he lampshades that he'll probably ending up running into her at inopportune times. Groin Attack : When Viola gets hit by the soccer ball.

Hooked Up Afterwards : Several characters such as Olivia and Sebastian (the real one), Justin and Monique and also its hinted that Andrew and Paul get together.

Hypocritical Humour : Monique makes fun of Viola's supposedly lack of curves, when she and Viola doesn't have that much difference in, err, ""proportions"" I Need to Go Iron My Dog : "I've gotta go change my...feet." Love Dodecahedron : The tagline pokes fun at this by laying it out and emphasizing the gender disguising. Male Gaze : When Olivia walks into the cafe, they guy's POV and the camera, shifts to her backside Mistaken for Object of Affection : One night Olivia decides go through with and surprise "Sebastian" with a kiss. She unknowingly kisses the real Sebastian, who has no idea who this infatuated girl is. Mr. Fanservice : Channing Tatum, who spends a lot of the movie without a shirt on.

When Viola sarcastically suggests mom should date Justin instead, she dreamily considers it for a moment before giggling it off . A large part of the team when they are practicing shirtless and in the locker room Ms.

Fanservice : The cheerleaders during the final game Mythology Gag : Numerous references to lines from the original play come up, either slightly altered ("You're weaving a really tangled web here") or direct ("Some have greatness thrust upon them"). And although Malvolio's character in the original play is replaced by a guy named Malcolm, Malcolm's pet tarantula is named Malvolio. No Periods, Period : The tampax moment. One of the most hilarious parts of the movie. Olivia and Sebastian? Introducing your brother to your friend who you think will be good for him and then them going to a party together is rather less silly than the actual marriage that happens in the play. Toby and Eunice as well, they even appear at the debutante party at the end. Viola's Jerkass ex-boyfriend Justin and Sebastian's Jerkass ex-girlfriend Monique. Paper-Thin Disguise : It's fairly obvious, when Sebastian and Viola are on screen together, that no-one could possibly confuse them for the same person. It's Lampshaded and justified in the beginning. No one at the school had seen Sebastian before. Afterwards, it's less plausible.

In fact, the director commentary says that they had to cut a scene where a couple of people see Sebastian up-close before the game because it totally broke the Willing Suspension of Disbelief . Passionate Sports Girl : All Viola wants to do is play soccer. When the girls' team gets cut and she isn't allowed to try out for the boys team she realizes that if she joins the rival team and beats the school that rejected her she can prove that she should get to play.

She tries to pass it off as just leaning there while she struggles to get the bandage free. Really Gets Around : Viola while posing as Sebastian uses his friends to make it look like he is to make the other guys interested in friendship. Rule of Cool : Viola was not a student at Sebastian's school. Their team should have had to forfeit when the truth was revealed. On the other hand, if Viola's school had tried to invoke that rule, Sebastian's could have pointed out that refusing to even let the girls try out violated Title IX.

Share the Male Pain : When Viola gets hit in the crotch with a soccer ball, all the boys wince. Yet she doesn't notice... until a few moments later and then starts faking her pain. Single Woman Seeks Good Man : Out of all the guys who likes her, Olivia prefers honest Sebastian (who is actually Viola in disguise). She would later meet and fall in love with the real Sebastian. Sound Effect Bleep : Just as Viola is about tell her ex-boyfriend just what she thinks of him, the coach blows his whistle. She's the Man Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia She's the Man Wiki She's The Man Full Movie full Edit She's the Man is a 2006 American romantic comedy film directed by Andy Fickman, inspired by William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. The film stars Amanda Bynes , Channing Tatum, Laura Ramsey and James Kirk. The film centers around teenager Viola Hastings who enters her brother's school in his place, pretending to be male, in order to play with the boys' soccer team. The Cast Edit Viola Hastings ( Amanda Bynes ) is a high school soccer player at Cornwall, which has just cut its girls' soccer team.

After her request to join the boys team is refused by the misogynistic coach, she finds a way to play for Cornwall's rival, Illyria, which is a boarding school. Viola's twin brother, Sebastian (James Kirk), is supposed to enter Illyria as a new student, and since he is instead going to a contest in London with his fledgling band, Sebastian asks Viola to cover for him by telling the school that he is sick and making each of their parents (who are divorced) think that he is staying with the other. Viola instead decides to pass herself off as Sebastian and join the boys' soccer team at Illyria. She hopes to beat the Cornwall team and humiliate her cocky ex-boyfriend, Justin (Robert Hoffman), who plays for the rival team. With the help of her stylist friend Paul and his girlfriends, Viola becomes the quirky "Sebastian". At Illyria, Viola's roommate is Duke Orsino (Channing Tatum) a good-looking striker on the soccer team. Tryouts see Viola assigned to second string, much to her dismay.

Meanwhile, "Sebastian's" lab partner, Olivia ( Laura Ramsey ) develops a crush on him, which frustrates Duke, who likes Olivia. In exchange for "Sebastian's" help in getting Olivia's attention, Duke agrees to put in extra soccer practice time with him. Coach Dinklage eventually moves "Sebastian" up to first string, and he is delighted. “Sebastian” is reminded, by a message from his mother, about the Junior League carnival that the siblings promised to attend. Due to the fact that Duke’s mother is also a part of the Junior League, he must go as well. “Sebastian” is forced to switch between herself ( Viola ) and Sebastian the whole time, while trying to avoid her mother and Monique, Sebastian's ex-girlfriend, so that she is not discovered as impersonating her brother. Viola is trying to run around and do both her and her brother’s jobs at the carnival. Duke misses his chance with Olivia when her shift is up at the kissing booth. He is not disappointed by her replacement, who turns out to be “Sebastian’s” sister, Viola.

Duke and Viola meet for the first time and exchange their kiss at the kissing booth, only to be interrupted by Viola’s ex-boyfriend, Justin. Duke and Justin get into a fight and decide they will finish the battle on the soccer field. Duke realizes he might be crushing not only on Olivia, but on Viola as well. Olivia goes on a date with Duke to make "Sebastian" jealous, remaining far more interested in him than in Duke. Encouraged by Viola, she decides to go directly to Sebastian and tell him how she feels. The plot becomes complicated when the real Sebastian returns from London a day early. When he arrives at Illyria, Olivia runs up and kisses him. Duke, seeing this, believes his roommate has betrayed him and after arguing with "Sebastian" kicks him out. Viola stays in Eunice's room and oversleeps, causing the real Sebastian to wind up on the pitch playing in what should be his sister's spot in the next day's much-anticipated game against Cornwall.

Principal Gold (David Cross), who has been told of Viola's impersonating Sebastian by a student and Sebastian's ex-girlfriend, Malcom and Monique, he halts the game and informs the crowd that Sebastian is a girl. The real Sebastian being present instead, he proves himself to be male by pulling down his shorts and exposing his genitals off-screen. At half-time, Viola explains the situation to Sebastian and they switch places again. Later on in the game Viola explains that she has been impersonating her brother, finally convincing Duke and everyone else by showing them her breasts (again, off screen). The coach agrees to let Viola keep playing anyway, sternly informing the Cornwall coach that Illyria doesn't discriminate based on gender and he calls out the coach for his sexist ways. Illyria wins the game on a penalty kick when Viola scores a goal (after a save and then pass from Duke), finally humiliating Justin and the rest of the Cornwall boys. Everyone at Illyria celebrates their victory over Cornwall, except for Duke who is hurt at Viola's deception. She invites Duke to her debutante ball, but she leaves as he doesn't show.

Whilst in the garden, Duke turns up and they head to the debutante ball, where they are introduced, come on stage, and kiss. Monique and Justin come on stage together followed by Olivia and Sebastian. At the end of the film, Viola and Duke are shown playing on the soccer team of Illyria a year later, both on the first string. Reception Edit ===Box Office=== The film opened at #4 at the North American box office making $10.7 million USD in its opening weekend. Its budget was approximately $20,000,000. She's the Man grossed a total of $33,741,133 domestic with a total gross of $57,194,667 worldwide. ===Critical Response=== She's the Man has received mixed reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives a rating of 44% based reviews from 110 critics, with an average score of 5 out of 10.

The critical consensus is: "Shakespeare's wit gets lost in translation with She's the Man's broad slapstick, predictable jokes, and unconvincing plotline." Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 reviews from film critics, the film has a rating score of 45 out of 100 based on 28 reviews. The film has since developed a cult following. Twelfth Night - Folgerpedia Folgerpedia Twelfth Night This article is about Shakespeare's play. For other uses, see Twelfth Night (disambiguation) . Named for the twelfth night after Christmas, the end of the Christmas season, Twelfth Night, one of William Shakespeare's plays , plays with love and power. The Countess Olivia, a woman with her own household, attracts Duke (or Count) Orsino. Two other would-be suitors are her pretentious steward, Malvolio, and Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Onto this scene arrive the twins Viola and Sebastian; caught in a shipwreck, each thinks the other has drowned. Viola disguises herself as a male page and enters Orsino's service.

Orsino sends her as his envoy to Olivia—only to have Olivia fall in love with the messenger. The play complicates, then wonderfully untangles, these relationships. Shakespeare probably wrote Twelfth Night in 1601–02; its earliest recorded performance was in February 1602. It appears in the 1623 First Folio. Sources include Plautus's Menaechmi and "Apolonius and Silla” in Barnabe Riche's His Farewell to the Military Profession.

Movie review: She's the Man *** - The Blade Movie review: She's the Man *** By CHRISTOPHER BORRELLI | BLADE STAFF WRITER Published on Enlarge Among the joys of reading William Shakespeare, and particularly Twelfth Night, aside from the profundities about human nature, the gamesmanship and unwitting courtships, the romantic longing and comedies of error - aside from all the good writerly stuff, what I really like about the Bard is how the guy knew that if you put a women's soccer team in a scene, you should always put them in bikinis, too. So many forget this rule. Is it why literature is dead? She's the Man remembers. Along with Shakespeare's rule that insight into human behavior has no place in a teen comedy. And every teen movie should end with The Big Game, and every mom in every teen movie belongs to the Junior League. The Bard also had a gay hairdresser as a best friend; many people don't know this, but it's why that convention became so popular. She's the Man is dutiful. All of the above make the cut.

Yet it stars gifted comic actress Amanda Bynes, a sarcastic bundle of googly eyerolls and 11th-grade superiority - Lucille Ball in Abercrombie & Fitch. Who is she? Only the biggest star to come out of Nickelodeon, though pushing 20 now; the way to remember her from all of the other Nick alums populating theaters is she's the one who looks like Jennifer Aniston, only stung by a hornet. She plays Viola, a prep-school soccer player who dresses like a boy and transfers schools when the girls' soccer program is cut from her school's sports budget. At her new school (she just disappears from her old school, without a question asked) she gets a hunky roommate named Duke, as uncertain of this weird "guy" with the odd accent as we are. She slaps on sideburns. She buries her hair under a modish wig. She looks like a Beatle going through a transgender surgery. She also falls for Duke. Duke falls for Olivia. Olivia, meanwhile, is in love with Sebastian - who is actually Viola imitating her brother, Sebastian.

If this sounds familiar, it's not because Hollywood is addicted to formulas. It's because Shakespeare invented a lot of those formulas. In this case, She's the Man takes its framework from Twelfth Night, right down to the character's names. If nothing else, it's an opportunity to stage a soccer game in bikinis while scrawling across the bottom of the movie screen "Inspired by Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare." Take that, Western literature. Besides, there is plenty else: Though I admit I trudged to this thing as if led to a torture rack, She's the Man immediately jumps to my list of cute disposable junk I will watch in 20 and 30-minute chunks every time it's on cable, even if Citizen Kane is just a channel away. It's written by the team that morphed The Taming of the Shrew into the fitfully memorable 10 Things I Hate About You, and though it's not as confident as Clueless (based on Jane Austen's Emma), it's not as generic as Get Over It (adapted from A Midsummer Night's Dream) - or as faithful as any of them. It's sort of nuts. Sunny, but nuts.

Not Kirsten-Dunst-crazed-cheerleader-mask-of-joy nuts. Cheap nuts, the way '80s teen comedies were when the studios didn't care who starred in them or what the script was about and you got the feeling they were shooting over a long weekend before the tap in the keg ran out. I'm reminded of a more chaste version of Just One of the Guys: It starred no one of circumstance but plenty of teenagers having sex and looking 27 years old. It had the same fast and loose, anything-goes vibe this flick has. Which is to say, it was bad. Part of that fast-and-loose feel came from the fact a lot of those '80s teen flicks were rated R for raunchy, and She's the Man is a timid PG-13. So maybe I'm grading on a scale, but you see the raunch in their eyes. They're too old to hide it.

The guy who plays Duke (Channing Tatum) pops up later this year as a sociopath in the Sundance picture A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints; he's in full revolt here against the kind of blah roles romantic interests usually have to play in movies with teen stars. Nothing about Bynes' prep-school dude impression convinces. Rather than hide it, he's all narrowed-eyes and verge-of-cracking-up smirking. His face reads with thoughts that Bynes isn't allowed. She never gets to hear what teenage guys talk about when women aren't in the room; she barely gets to pretend she knows. Her boy voice is part Pinocchio, part backwater blues singer, part Tennessee Williams. She is so unconvincing as a boy, her failure itself becomes what's entertaining - sort of the way straight characters in old Jerry Lewis movies never noticed flailing Jerry, only earnest Jerry. So it's not Shakespeare. She's The Man Soundtrack — Free listening, videos, concerts, stats and photos at Last.fm 161 Do you know what kind of music this is?
