She's The Man

Adapted from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, She’s the Man follows Amanda Bynes’ Viola who masquerades as her brother, Sebastian, in order to play for his school’s elite soccer team after her own school’s team is disbanded.

In typical Shakespearean fashion, things become even more complicated when Viola falls for fellow player Duke (Channing Tatum).

Like Bend It Like Beckham, She’s The Man invokes rom-com tropes and blends them with sports movie staples to create an entertaining teen comedy that I’m sure any millennial will look back on with nostalgia.
