She's The Man (2006) 8/10

Starring : Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, Laura Ramsey, Vinnie Jones, Julie Hagerty, David Cross
Director : Andy Fickman
Running Time : 105 mins

Viola Hastings (Bynes) is appalled when her girls football league is cut, so taking advantage of her twin brother's absence she disguises herself as him at the new school he's been transfered to so that she can try out for their football team and prove her point that girls are as good as boys. Unfortunately things go from bad to worse as she falls for her new roommate Duke (Tatum), who in turn is in love with a girl named Olivia (Ramsey) who in turn loves Viola in her guise as Sebastian.

Bynes is actually quite convincing in her duel roles as Viola and Sebastian, and keeps the story light and entertaining with her performance. Sometimes she goes a little over the top, but overall she manages to keep in character. The remaining cast are pretty good, working with a reasonable script based loosely on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and although the humour isn't particularly intelligent it is still quite an enjoyable movie.
