She’s THE Man
Everybody has a secret…
Director: Andy Fickman
Rated PG-13
Starring: Amanda Bynes – Channing Tatum
Rating: 2 thumbs way up
I just wanted to put a little change in movie selection. Why not cross dressing teenagers? I have seen the 80’s version and this one; both are out to make a point to the female capabilities. This is quite funnier than 80’s version. Amanda Bynes (Penny Pingleton of Hairspray) could be the future “Lucille Ball” if she sticks with comedy. She made this character come to life and made it her own. Channing Tatum is HOT as ever, many topless scenes. (Excuse me while I clean the drool off my chin.)
Amanda Bynes proves that girls can do anything guys can do in She’s The Man. The laughs are non-stop when Viola (Bynes), disguised as her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk), joins the high school boy’s soccer team and helps win the big game while unexpectedly falling for Duke (Channing Tatum), the hot star forward. Viola discovers that dealing with high school politics and twisted love triangles is a major challenge when you’re a guy who’s really a girl!
Duke wants Olivia who likes Sebastian- who is really Viola whose brother is dating Monique- so she hates Olivia- who is with Duke to make Sebastian jealous- who is really Viola who is crushing on Duke- who thinks she’s a guy.
