She's the Man tells the story of 'Viola', a tomboy played by Amanda Bynes, who doesn't get to play football (or soccer as you silly Americans says) on her school. A lot more interested in football than being a debutante, she's going to great lengths to play. Taking advantage of the fact her parents is divorced and her brother takes of from his new school going to London to play music, 'Viola' takes his place at that school pretending to be him. Each parent believing she's with the other, her new classmates believing she's a boy and romantic complications as a girl falls in love with her, and she falls in love with her roommate.
The story is predictable, but ever so often has charm and takes advantage of Bynes' comedic timing. Still. Less than interesting, filled with cliches and a feeling we've seen it all before. Very average for the genre, but there are moments here others aren't close to get as right as this does.
