She's the Man is one of the best films in life, and there is absolutely no question of that. At all. That's not even my opinion, it's a fact!Starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum it has got everything you could ever want in a chick flick, and something for everybody. It has romance, comedy, football, gender changing, a shirtless Channing Tatum, boy fights, girl fights, confusion, debutants, ball gowns, boarding school and a happy ending!
I told you it has everything. Did I lie?
Well... sorry horror fans! (But seriously, how can you like guts and gore?!?)
AND if all that wasn't enough, it is based very loosely on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, so it's basically educational!
I will always remember the first time I saw it. It was on TV and my sister made me watch it, saying it was the best film ever. I didn't believe her. I was so wrong. However, due to it being a school night and myself in need of my beauty sleep, I didn't get to finish it. So, for Christmas that year, my sister bought it for me. And we watched it sooooo many times.
I'm serious.
We once watched it 5 times in one day. 5. It is the one film that you can watch for eternity and never get sick of.
The basic story line is actually quite complicated, but it is very easy to follow in the movie. Viola is a girl who loves football, but when her school team gets cut and she's not allowed to try out for the boys team, she tries to prove that she is good enough by playing for the opposing team while disguised as her brother Sebastian. She is also having to deal with her mother who wants her to become a debutant, the fact that she's falling for her roommate who is falling for the girl who has fallen for her in her brothers disguise!
So, if you haven't already, jump onto amazon and get yourself this super fantastic film. Every single person I've shown it to agrees with me. You won't regret it.
