DVD Reviews of She's the Man (Full Screen Edition)

DVD Review: Excellent!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I like getting what I paid for in a timely manner and you did just that. Thank-you!

DVD Review: Really Enjoyed it
Summary: 4 Stars

I found the movie to be cute and refresshing. It's not Vulgar or sex crazed, therefore I would have no problem watching it with my nieces. Its a pleasure to see a teen acting like a teen, not a slut.

DVD Review: great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

The movie is very funny and romantic. I like it a lot. I think everyone should buy and see this movie. In the movie, Viola and Sebastian really do look alike.....I mean when Viola dresses as her brother Sebastian. If it was me, I could never ever dare to do that. I would just rather stay as a girl. Imagine me having to go take a shower with all those other boys or girls thinking that I'm cute. I think it's disappointing that the movie didn't make it at least #2 when it first came out. I really had a great time seeing this movie. I love Amanda! She's amazing.

DVD Review: Amanda, Amanda, Amanda.
Summary: 5 Stars

I never thought I would see you playing as a boy. But you surprised me, you did an amazing job. it's a good movie, even the boys will like it. Its not a chick flick, its more like a teen comedy. There are some parts I'd change but I'm not the director. Overall, good movie. Some parts had me going, and most of the time my sister was ooh and ahhing at Channing Tatum.

DVD Review: She's the (wo)man!
Summary: 4 Stars

Funny for sure, `She's the Man' isn't the perfect teen comedy (can't hold a candle to the likes of `Mean Girls' or '10 Things I Have About You') but it has enough going for it to constitute a viewing or two. With the `ever so spunky' Amanda Bynes and the new age heartthrob Channing Tatum (my wife drools and begs me to do more sit-ups), `She's the Man' has enough eye-candy for both genders, not to mention humor both can enjoy and a storyline (straight from Shakespeare) that is engaging, entertaining and memorable.

Viola likes to play soccer, but when her school drops the girl's soccer team she finds herself out of luck. When her brother, Sebastian, decides to ditch school for a chance to play with his band in London, Viola decides to take his place (it's a new school, and she's his twin, so no one should notice; right?) in order to play on their soccer team and defeat her old school's boy's soccer team (who refused to let her join). Then she falls in love with Duke, her (his) roommate. Duke is in love with Olivia, and he asks Sebastian (Viola) to hook him up, but Olivia ends up falling for Sebastian instead.

It's a mess all around, but it's a funny mess.

The acting is fine for a film of this nature. Bynes is a delightful over-actor (I've mentioned my adoration of her recently) but here she grates my nerves a tad when she's in Sebastian mode. Her Viola is stunning, charming and endearing. Her Sebastian is rather forced and unbelievable; but I think that's what they were going for.

The rest of the cast is a bunch of hot young things that are just as serviceable as the next flock of hot young things, with no real standout aside from Channing, who is really a notch above the rest to be honest. He's actually got some talent to back up that six-pack. I also really liked Vinnie Jones here; as the soccer coach Dinklage.

For those of you who enjoy a good teen comedy then this one is a surefire hit. It has all the elements to make an enjoyable, if rather brainless, cinematic experience. It's nice to turn off every once in a while, and this provides the desired escape. If you're a fan of Bynes or any of her movies then this will not disappoint. It has it's quirks (what movie of this genre doesn't) but it makes up for them in other areas and delivers a pretty solid and enjoyable teen movie.

Description of She's the Man (Full Screen Edition)

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 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! She's the Man features an ensemble cast of up and coming stars and hit songs from OK-Go, The Veronicas & the F-ups. It's perfect for good-time summer fun!

Shakespearean comedy and American high school are a match made in heaven--or Hollywood, at any rate. Somehow the exaggerated emotions and budding hormones of adolescence are perfectly suited to Shakespeare's twisty plots, and She's the Man is a perfect example. Viola (Amanda Bynes, What a Girl Wants) is furious when she learns that her high school, Cornwall, has cut the girl's soccer team--so furious that she takes advantage of her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk, Final Destination 2) skipping town for a few weeks to take his place at his school, Illyria, so she can join the soccer team there. But her disguise as her brother leads to complications when she falls in love with her soccer-playing roommate and the girl he's in love with falls in love with "Sebastian"... Bynes may not be entirely persuasive as a high school boy, but she's got the charm and sprightliness to make the audience follow her anyway. The clever script walks a fine balance, treating the situation realistically enough to make Viola's efforts matter, but zipping along quickly enough that we don't worry too much about the details. As Duke and Olivia--the other two parts of the love triangle--Channing Tatum and Laura Ramsey combine sex appeal with engaging sweetness; the excellent supporting cast includes David Cross (Arrested Development), Julie Hagerty (Airplane!), and former British soccer star Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). All in all, a delightful bit of fun. --Bret Fetzer
