Amazon.co.uk Review
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 IShe's the Man /I is a perfect example. Viola (Amanda Bynes, IWhat a Girl Wants/I) 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, IFinal Destination 2/I) 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 (IArrested Development/I), Julie Hagerty (IAirplane! /I), and former British soccer star Vinnie Jones (ILock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels/I). All in all, a delightful bit of fun. --IBret Fetzer/I

Love this film
I watched this film a few years ago and i found it absolutely hilliarious!!! I have been recently searching for this film as it was shown on tv recently but unfortunately as i was having a problem with my ariel i had to miss it. I LOVED this film the first time around and am pleased to say it didn't disappoint. Amanda Byrnes is just funny and Channing Tatum is still very very cute!. I'm so happy that i chose this site to search as it took less than a minute to find and only a couple of mins to buy. This is a great chick flick and i will be watching this for years to come. I recommend this film to all girls and even family's as there is the element of football for the boys and Vinnie Jones too.

Suprisingly Good
I was suprised how much I enjoyed this movie as I thoguth it was a concept had been done many times before and it being classically teenage it appearance. However, I did find it very funny and the storyline was actually okay. There were some pointless additions to the plot, but not enough to ruin the movie. Amanda Bynes does a good job of appearing like a boy and the rest of the cast do an okay job. Overall, a good comedy, but not for everyone.

The worst film I have seen!
This is without a shadow of doubt the worst film I have ever seen - it actually kept me awake thinking about how shocking it was. It is mystifying as to how the producers allowed it to be released. I cannot imagine that after sitting round and watching the final version together, they instantly stood to applaud themselves on this creation. My favourite bit was undoubtedly the athleticism of the red team's goalkeeper for equalising goal - its almost worth watching the film for! But don't.

Hilarious
I usually find that chick flicks disappoint and are not as funny as they promise. Probably because the funniest parts of the film are usually showed in the trailers. However with Shes the man I was pleasantly surprised! Amanda Bynes does a really good job and is full of laughs and is oddly believable as a boy. I would definitely rate this film and it is definitely a film that I can watch over and over again. Much better than Mean girls.
