She's the Man (2006)
6/10
Sister Acts.

She's the Man is a fresh and entertaining chick flick following the same league as MEAN GIRLS. The Story,loosely based on the Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night, given a modern touch.

the story is quite twisted and funny with an interesting tagline:

Everybody has a secret... Duke wants Olivia who likes Sebastian who is really Viola whose brother is dating Monique so she hates Olivia who's with Duke to make Sebastian jealous who is really Viola who's crushing on Duke who thinks she's a guy... When her big brother decides to ditch for a couple weeks in London, Viola (Bynes) heads over to his elite boarding school, disguises herself as him, and proceeds to fall for one of her soccer teammates. Little does she realize she's not the only one with romantic troubles, as she, as he, gets in the middle of a series of intermingled love affairs.

There are number of colorful characters with funny dialogues.Though it's not as original or as smart as MEAN GIRLS ,it's still fresh and entertaining. The cast is lively, and Bynes really shines in the title role.She was a joy to watch.

For a good,fun time in the cinema this is a great treat.
