   Summary: Entertaining
Our 10 year old daughter watches this movie over and over. I have to admit I like it, too. Good for some laughs and some discussions about gender roles.

   Summary: She's the Man Vs. Just One of the Guys. And the Winner Is....
Recently in movies we've seen a string of "stealth remakes" in which filmmakers take the basic plot of a previous movie and, without attribution, use it for a new film. Thus 13 Going On 30 isn't REALLY a remake of Big, despite the fact they both deal with a barely pubescent kid wishing they were an adult, and magically having it happen. The Island isn't REALLY a remake of Parts: The Clonus Horror despite the fact they both deal with a secret facility producing clones as spare parts for the elite's surgical procedures, and what happens when two of the clones discover that fact. And She's the Man isn't REALLY a remake of Just One of the Guys despite the fact they both deal with a cute teenage girl disguising herself as a teenage boy to invade a school's all-male sports team.

Comparing the two movies, for me She's the Man works better than Just One of the Guys. For one thing, in the latter I was never really able to make the logical jump between "I've lost a journalism competition, therefore I'll join a football team," especially coming from a girl with absolutely no prior experience at, or passion for, football. On the other hand, when Viola, who loves soccer more than anything, has her school's girl's soccer program canceled, and is denied a chance to try out for the boy's team on the grounds that girls don't have the physical wherewithal to make good soccer players, I can easily make the leap between that and "I'll disguise myself as a boy, join my school's cross-town rival's soccer team, and kick this team's butt to prove my point."

Also, not to get anatomical here (he said, just before getting anatomical) but Joyce Hiser in Just One of the Guys is a, well, um, er, very busty young woman with a Playboy Playmate face and figure. Even with her breasts bound down (or as far down as they'll go) and her hair slicked back - which, along with men's clothes is the sum total of her disguise - she's simply not believable as a guy for anyone with eyes. Amanda Bines by contrast, while she looks really good as a girl, with her, ahem, generally less bounteous attributes and the help of a wig, fake eyebrows and sideburns IS believable as a guy - a very short, slim, effeminate, probably gay or bisexual guy, but a guy nonetheless.

Finally, the acting in She's the Man is actually, y'know, good.

She's the Man is an amazingly fun movie. I smiled, snickered, laughed out loud and shook my head in amazement more often during this film than with any other movie in memory. The script, while there have been, to put it mildly, certain liberties taken with the Bard's work, does stick close enough to the plot of Twelfth Night to please its fans. The love triangle between Viola, Olivia - and yes, Viola's studly roommate is actually named Duke Orsino - remains intact. The school Viola invades in disguise is called Illyria, the name of the island on which she washes up in the play. Even Malcolm's (Malvolio's) yellow stockings are present and accounted for. You don't have to love Twelfth Night to enjoy this film. But unlike some Shakespeare-to-modern-day translations (Romeo+Juliet, anyone?), loving the source material will not make watching this movie pure torture, either.

   Summary: Great movie...
I enjoyed the movie. It's kind of silly in some ways and it's just fun. A great movie to just sit back and relax with.

   Summary: Great story line
This is an awesome story about a girl pretending to be her brother to play soccer. It all gets complicated when she falls for her brothers roommate and her brother comes back early. Please watch this movie for more.

   Summary: Disappointing
Classic Amanda Bines. Two or three music montages. There are some jokes on the level of American Pie. Wasn't expecting that. Wish I'd rented (or borrowed).
