Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, Laura Ramsey

She was co...( read more  read more... )unting on Sebastian being AWOL from school as he tried to break into the music scene in London. What she didn't count on was falling in love with her hot roommate, Duke (Channing Tatum), who in turn only has eyes for the beautiful Olivia (Laura Ramsey).

If things weren't complicated enough, the real Sebastian has come back from London two days earlier than expected and arrives on campus having no clue that he's been replaced...by his own twin sister.

    Silly, predictable, wacky, and lovable. The spirit of Shakespeare's play doesn't get lost in the Hollywood formula.

    Didn't they do this movie once in 1985? It was called Just one of the guys, starring Joyce Hyser. The original I love, the cheap copy....not so much.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

I didn't for one second believe the plot of She's the Man,but I did believe for the entire movie that Amanda Bynes was lovable. full review
