She's The Man (DVD)

...Given that this choice was She's The Man I'd have to say it was stupidity; in fact I'd go as far as to say that for watching this atrocity I should be led down to the bottom of the garden and shot full force in the head, that is after all what farmers do to sick animals isn't it? Viola (Amanda Bynes) loves football, and when her school cancels the girls football team she becomes so incensed that she decides to assume her brothers identity and transfer ...
...make no bones about this She's The Man is utter s**t! Made totally ridiculous due to the fact that its lead is barely convincing as a girl, let alone a boy. Watching this movie is not un-reminiscent of having an enema in public (I can imagine) not a big crowd just 70 or 80, just enough for it to be totally humiliating. What's worse is that this type of movie has been done what seems like 100 times before, except in those cases the movies obviously ...

...she be discovered ? Watch She's The Man to find out! First of all I was glad at how fast the movie got going because I hate movies which take ages for you to know what's happening. This movie was good at moving the plot along really fast so that the viewer doesn't' get bored (I myself get bored quite easily when watching films! )But this film was really good at introducing us , and straight away I knew what was the movie was about and by the end ...

Review of She's The Man (DVD)

recently watched she's the man for the hundredth time and therefore thought it was about time I reviewed it. She's the man is a chick flick comedy film aimed at a relatively young audience. It was originally out in 2006 in the cinema and then the same year out on DVD. I went to see it at the cinema and bought the DVD as soon as it was out. The main storyline of She's The Man is based on the Shakespeare play Twelfth Night, which is what quite a few ...
...done well though and even many of the characters have the same names as those in the play. I think it really demonstrates how versatile Shakespeare's stories are and how they can be adapted to suit a modern day narrative. Anyway the story is based around the main character Viola who is a football mad girl. When her team is cut at school and the coach of the boys team (including her boyfriend) laughs at her when she asks to join their team she is ...

Review of She's The Man (DVD)

When I joined up with my online DVD rentals site, I had to make a list of 20 titles I wanted to watch so that if one wasn't available, they could send me an alternative. At the very end of the list was 'She's the Man' purely because I had seen it advertised once and thought it looked quite funny and because I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to watch. Then it appeared on my doorstep and I thought 'Oh well, may as well watch it then!' 'She's ...

She loves football and when the female football squad is cut at her school because not enough girls signed up, she attempts to join the boys squad, much to the amusement of the team captain, Justin (played by Robert Hoffman) who just happens to be Viola's boyfriend - though not for long! Wanting to prove to Justin, the coach and everybody else who laughed at her, that girls can play ...

Review of She's The Man (DVD)

...the score and show that she's just as good as the boys. Perfect timing though as Sebastian arrives from London to start school, he ends up on the pitch instead. Not having a clue how to play football, is her cover blown or has she just missed the chance to show them all how good she really is? After really watching this film, I will admit I really got into it. The fact that Channing Tatum is in it, and the fact that he is often topless helped a ...
...not in my top films. It was like the American verison of Bend it Like Beckham. I liked both films, but I did prefer She's the man. I would recommend this to romcom fans. I'd definately buy it for my DVD collection - but only if its offer! ...

Review of She's The Man (DVD)

Suited towards young teens, a witty comedy that keeps them entertained. She’s the Man focuses on young Viola who has discovered her team for soccer has been cancelled. She try’s for the boy’s team but is told that she cannot cut it. Viola decides to take her brothers place at his new high school Illyria. From a teachers perspective this film was highly useful (or even as a parent you could help educate your kids) as it is a modern adaptation of Twelfth ...
...is easily shown through the character descriptions and situations that Viola gets her self into. From a film viewers perspective the storyline is somewhat unbelievable (as were most Shakespearian stories) but is cute none the less. The comedy I feel is in the character portrayed by Amanda Byrnes and her over dramatic boy style acting. She acts in such ways that only girls would find amusing and takes the mickey out of the male gender. The film itself ...

Review of She's The Man (DVD)

I recently purchased this DVD after one of my friend's made me watch her copy, because I loved it so much! The plot is based on Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, but is a more modern version with slight changes, obviously! The main character Viola (Amanda Bynes) is desperate to prove she is a good football player after being told she cannot join her school team because she is female. She plots to disguise herself as her twin brother Sebastian and ...

Viola, however, has fallen for her roommate Duke (Channing Tatum :P ), who has been helping her with her football, but she cannot reveal this due to her disguise. All in all, a rather hilarious comedy, especially when the real Sebastian turns up at the end of the film! Advantages ...

An updated twist on a Shakespeare classic mixed with the comical talent of Amanda Bynes and the very impressive eye candy in the form of Channing Tatmum, need we ask more? REVIEWS: Bliss magazines 'This year's must-see comedy' definately was worth the watch. Westwood One claims 'Mean Girls gets a classic twist' and fits into the teen 'chick flick' catagory suitably. ACTORS AND ROLES: Amanda Bynes plays the roles of both Sebastian and Viola and ...

PERSONAL REVIEW: I thought amandas comic background and goofy behavoiur definatley bought the fake Sebastian character to life, you will be saying 'what up g mon' for weeks after you see the film. I am a fan of classic stories ...

Review of She's The Man (DVD)

She's the man is another romantic comedy sure, but the way this film stands out from the rest isn't just set on the genre of the film no. There are many reasons as to why this film is my favourite film ever, and i am willing to stand up and prove to everyone who gives it bad press. The storyline is your basic love story..Girl lies to do something, falls for guy..everyone finds out, things go bad..it all turns out well. The difference that makes it ...
...is good, the comedy side is very funny you will never think you will end up laughing at such a simple term - I've got a lifetime of knowledge - Amanda plays the part so well, and that deserves praise all in itself. Sure we all shouting at the t.v saying how can you not tell thats a girl, but its cheesy.. rom coms are supposed to be that way. Another reason.. The soundtrack throughout the film fits so well it really works in the films favour. But ...
