The laughs are non-stop when Viola (Bynes), disguised as her twin brother, Sebastian (James Kirk), joins the high school boys' 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! (official distributor synopsis)

Once I will get tired of those high school stories - but not yet. And I don't even want it to happen. A cute girl will do anything for her dream, and when she also looks nice (because Amanda Bynes was still a girl worth looking at back then), I will forgive her for some extra smirk or exaggerated gestures during funny dialogues. Multiple crushes, disappointments, falling in love again, and the headmaster perfectly delivering all of it. Only the football could have been more believable. At practice, something more meaningful than throwing balls and shooting from a spin should have been trained, and during the match, the time should not have been stopped twice and the rules should not have been broken. But that's why "She's the Man" is such a relaxing spectacle, thanks to the necessary dose of humor. Eventually, I will get tired of it - but not yet.
