This movie is OK. It has all the typical silly parts when a girl is pretending to be a guy - troubles in gym (especially in skins vs shirts), etc. I thought Joyce Hyser was fine as an actress - wonder why I have not seen her in any other movies.

Funny movie with a good reason behind why she does what she does.
The comedy is not forced and when they find out about her, it's a great scene.
