75Of Amanda Bynes let us say that she is sunny and plucky and somehow finds a way to play her impossible role without clearing her throat more than six or eight times.
-
75In this it succeeds. Like the Bard said, better witty foolishness than foolish wit.
-
75It will certainly appeal to its target audience, and Bynes is charming enough to carry the whole film on her shoulders, which is a good thing considering that she's in just about every scene and leading man Tatum is a stiff.
-
75This is a perfectly pleasant, entertaining and often witty romp with engaging performances.
-
75A screwball comedy that made me wish I were 13 again, because this is precisely the kind of movie I would have gone nuts for in the ninth grade.
-
Most of the laughs are due to Bynes, a vibrant young actress with excellent comedic chops.
-
70So good-natured, and its cast seems to enjoy itself so thoroughly, that the total annihilation of disbelief it requires winds up feeling like a reasonable enough request.
-
63It's a cute romantic comedy, just as Shakespeare intended.
-
Nothing classes up a teen movie better than the classics.
-
50The girls who adore the likable Everygirl Bynes will find a lot to enjoy about the film, especially the boys who look as though they just were lounging around the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog.
-
50A cross-dressing comedy that's all dressing can only, well, leave you cross.
-
50Thanks to a winning cast, all of this is funnier than you would expect considering the erratic script.
-
50Has a certain charm and is sure to appeal to tweens, at least the female variety.
-
50Neither smart enough nor funny enough to have cross-over appeal to any other demographic.
-
50As an actress, Bynes is wholesome to a fault. She impersonates a teenage boy yet never gives him one good dirty thought.
-
50She's the Man amounts to little more than softcore porn for the tween set, with aesthetics ripped from the pages of the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog and virtually every scene revolving around Viola/Sebastian's crafty escape from some impromptu disrobing.
-
Doesn't have an unpredictable moment in it, borrowing heavily from just about every sports movie or teen comedy ever and, oh yeah, "Twelfth Night."
-
50As insistent as its heroine to get its point across, She's the Man gathers up enough energy and likeable goodwill that it almost skirts past some extremely strained passages in which Bynes plays out being a boy.
-
50Another gate-crasher at the let's-do-a-mediocre-update-of-Shakespeare party.
-
50Fickman mostly soft-pedals the play's homosexual panic, generating a comedy that lacks both the verbal sophistication of its source and the sexual sophistication of its target audience.
-
40It's just dumb.
-
40The highschool hijinks may entertain the young, but those more familiar with the Bard will recognise this as a wasted opportunity.
-
33The surefire laugh-getter centers on using a tampon to stop a nosebleed. Watching this movie, I had to hope it could stop brain-drain.
-
30Fails to exploit the myriad comedic possibilities, settling instead for broad, unconvincing slapstick aimed at 12-year-olds and gags Shakespeare would have rejected as ancient.
-
30Its kooky hybrid of slapstick gender jokes already had whiskers on 'em in Shakespeare's day.
-
Everything projects as if for the benefit of a nearsighted and dimwitted ticket holder at the back of the room. To his credit, Mr. Fickman has mastered one device unique to the cinema, making repeated use of the corny training montage.
-
25There 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.
-
25Bynes appears in practically every scene, and the film seems to have been designed as a showcase for her comedic skills, which she apparently left behind in the trailer.
