I am really excited for this movie review because this week I decided to ask MY SISTER what her favorite movie is!! My sister is 17 years old. She is a total goofball. Her hobbies also include eating bread as well as stealing my clothes out of my closet. She is much more fashionable than me and wants to go to art school. If she isn’t drawing, she is probably running. She is a junior in high school who is a phenomenal runner. She trains for and wins marathons. I texted her on Wednesday, and she declared that her favorite movie is She’s the Man. I trained her well. Although this movie does not have Brad Pitt, it does have Channing Tatum. Next to Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum is pretty amazing. I would recommend this movie solely because he is in it. Also, Amanda Bynes is in it before she went a lil nuts, so that’s cool too.

A short summary of this movie. Viola is a soccer super star. However, when her school cuts her soccer team, she is left without a team to play for. Like every sexist school, the school kept the boys team. Viola asks to join the boys team, but the coach and school says no. Viola’s boyfriend is also the star of the boyfriend, but when he refuses to let her play or even acknowledge that she is a good player, she dumps him.
Viola’s twin brother Sebastian technically goes to a prep school that rivals Viola’s school. He goes to a different school because he was kicked out of the other one. Sebastian has no plans on going to this new school and instead goes to London to play in his band. Viola then dresses like her brother and heads off to her brother’s school and calls herself Sebastian. There she earns herself a spot on the boy’s soccer team. She is trying to prove to herself and to others that girls can keep up with the boys.
If you don’t like soccer, do not worry. There are so many love triangles in this movie. As the cover suggests, everyone is into someone else. Viola starts crushing on her roommate, aka Channing Tatum, who is also on the soccer team. Two problems with that: Viola is a boy with him, and he likes someone else. The girl that Channing Tatum likes is in love with Sebastian, except for it isn’t Sebastian. It is Viola. Lastly, there is Monique who is Sebastian’s real girlfriend. Viola has to avoid her at all costs because she will know that it is actually Viola.
Like any good sport’s movie, the movie ends with an epic soccer game in which all the characters are thrown together.
Overall, the movie is really good. Even though it stars Amanda Bynes, it is a funny, witty, romantic, sports movie. I would recommend it to both boys and girls as well as soccer and non soccer players.
