Some of the funniest scenes, as you can imagine, are built upon Viola (played by Amanda Bynes) pretending to be a guy, her brother Sebastian (played James Kirk – no not of the Enterprise). I knew Amanda was a big star on Nicelodeon and I had seen her a couple of times in the past, but had not really taken her very seriously. But in She’s the Man, Amanda is really, seriously, funny. But it’s not just the comedic lines, but her facial expressions and body language, and how she carried herself in the role of this character. Of course this role wasn’t what you would call an Oscar winning role, but then it wasn’t really meant to be. I can’t wait to see Bynes, as she matures, in other more meaningful roles. Though I figure for now she will be in the mold of Linsay Lohan and other Disney/Nicelodeon stars.
While the film was extremely funny, it was also moving at times. A little bit of teen romance set against a sports background. But I think that more than just teenage girls will enjoy this film. Maybe not something a group of guys would go to see together (even if it does have a sports theme), but a good movie for a teen couple to take in or even an adult date movie. Nothing too deep, but worth it nonetheless.
Besides the humor I liked the theme of the movie. Basically, that people are more than what we see on the surface. The old cliché of “don’t judge a book by the cover�. And this wasn’t just shown by Viola pretending to be her brother Sebastian, but also through the character Duke (Channing Tatum), Viola’s love interest and unsuspecting roommate. We think of him initially as the stereotype selfish jock only interested in girls for physical entertainment with his major concern scoring on and off the field. But as the story unfolds, we see him as a sensitive, shy individual who wants a relationship that is as much, or more, based upon friendship as lust.
I highly recommend this movie for a couple of hours of just plain old entertainment. You will have no choice but to laugh out loud and when all is said and done, you will come out of the theater with a warm feeling. What better way to spend an evening.
