I didn t for one second believe the plot of She s the Man, but I did believe for the entire movie that Amanda Bynes was lovable. She plays a girl who pretends to be a boy in order to play soccer. That this story is recycled from Shakespeare s Twelfth Night is something I report right here at the top so that we can work together to put it out of our minds.
Bynes plays Viola, the twin sister of Sebastian (James Kirk), who at the start of the movie conveniently sneaks away to London for two weeks without telling anybody. This is much easier on Viola than the Shakespeare version, in which she fears her brother has perished at sea. But I will not mention Shakespeare again. Viola is the star of the girls soccer team at Cornwall Prep, a school that seems to have enough money to supply every girl with her own soccer team. She thinks she s good enough to play for the boy s team, but her hopes are scorned, so she takes advantage of Sebastian s absence to take his place
