It's hard enough being the nerdy new guy on campus without also being the new girl on campus, who has fallen for the coolest guy on campus, who is totally obsessed with the most beautiful girl on campus, who is "crushing" on the nerdy new guy on campus. That's just the beginning in this contemporary comedy inspired by Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." The tagline basically explains what this movie is all about. Amanda Byens stars as Viola. A girl with good looks who is indeed a tomboy, and who loves to play soccer. But when the girls team gets cut off, she decides that she wants to prove that she is good enough. After her brother, Sebastian, played by James Kirk wants to go to London and sing his music, Viola decides to move into his school pretending to be him so she could focus on soccer. So Viola dresses up like her brother and obviously pretends to be him. She later meets her 3 roommates. The three of them think he (she) is loser, but later they soon find out that he can seem pretty cool. One of his (her) roommates is played by Channing Tatum and he plays Duke, the guy who likes Viola but really wants a girl named Olivia and thinks that he can get her if only Sebastian can help him get her. So many things happen in this movie which makes it seem like a "high school comedy" which they really aren't in high school.
I think that Amanda Bynes is very good. This is the kind of comedy she should be doing. She shouldn't be doing movies like "What A Girl Wants." I want to see her do some movies like this because she is really good. I grew up watching the hit TV show, "All That," which aired on Nickelodeon and featured Amanda in it and she always did good. So I feel that she should be doing more comedic roles. She's really good at them.
I felt that this was a funny movie. It may seem predictable because there are so many movies out there in which someone dresses up as the opposite sex and we all know what will happen. There is a girl who falls for a guy who is really a girl. But I liked the way this movie pulled it off. This movie is an underrated movie. I don't why some people missed out on this. It didn't do too well at the box office. A few critics bought it and liked it. I have to agree with them. This was a good movie. So this is why I am recommending it. I give it a 7.5/10.
