Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    A comedy that lacks both the verbal sophistication of its source and the sexual sophistication of its target audience.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    There I sit, suffering total numbness of body and brain, no longer having to wonder what it might be like to be buried alive in gooey marshmallow.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    Mere words cannot convey how awful Bynes is at playing a girl playing a boy.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    As was proven with 10 Things I Hate about You, it is possible to re-imagine the Bard in a modern high school setting, but She's the Man doesn't do it well.

  • Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

    She's the Man has a certain charm and is sure to appeal to tweens, at least the female variety.

    For a family comedy, 'She's The Man' isn't too bad, but for an adaptation of William Shakespeare, this is very poor. Based on one of Shakespeare's best plays, 'Twelfth Night', Amanda Bynes plays the football, not soccer, but football loving girl… More

    She's the Man is a fairly decent comedy with a good cast. For what it is, She's the Man is a good little family oriented comedy that though not perfect is a pretty decent, entertaining film that has quite a few good laughs. I'm surprised I quite enjoyed this film, and I… More

    Amanda Bynes is sexy, but this movie isn't.

    If you wanna chase your dream, sometimes you gotta break the rules. Saw it again! Fun movie with some very funny moments. I enjoyed it and that's all there is to it. She's the Man is about Viola Hastings, a girl who's passion is Soccer. She then finds out that the… More
