Critic Reviews

Winda Benedetti

Most of the laughs are due to Bynes, a vibrant young actress with excellent comedic chops. Read full review

Ken Fox

It 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. Read full review

Carina Chocano

So 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. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Thanks to a winning cast, all of this is funnier than you would expect considering the erratic script. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Neither smart enough nor funny enough to have cross-over appeal to any other demographic. Read full review

Anna Smith

The highschool hijinks may entertain the young, but those more familiar with the Bard will recognise this as a wasted opportunity. Read full review

Peter Travers

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. Read full review

I really liked it and i thought amanda byns did great in it and was hilarious I think that it totally deservers a 10 and NOT a 0. The people who gave it a 0 are all crazy and probably have no sense of humor.just take my advice and watch it, you wont regret it! =]

'She's the Man' has an interesting premise that could have been executed effortlessly...but the question is; how do you execute this premise so well? Someday there may be another movie out there that will do that, but for now, this might have to suffice. Unless you count the Robin Williams'She's the Man' has an interesting premise that could have been executed effortlessly...but the question is; how do you execute this premise so well? Someday there may be another movie out there that will do that, but for now, this might have to suffice. Unless you count the Robin Williams classic 'Mrs Doubtfire' (1993).

Amanda Bynes plays Viola, a young high school girl who loves to play soccer, and discovers that her brother Sebastian (James Kirk) is secretly heading to London for a while. She then decides to go undercover as her brother as a scheme to get into the soccer team...hopefully without anybody noticing.

Things start to get even more complicated as there is a strange romance blooming for Viola, she becomes infatuated with her roommate Duke (Channing Tatum), but she needs to play it cool.

This movie did make me laugh from time to time, as the comedic timing from Bynes mostly, proves to be very rewarding for the movie's benefit. My main issue with the movie comes from the fact that it is full of some unrealistically obnoxious side characters that are not funny nor making the movie any more intriguing. 6/10, middling comedic entertainment.… Expand

Love it if I were still a 12 year-old girl - little too cheesy for a 22-year old though.

I was unfortunate enough to walk in on the second half of this movie (during one of the many corny training montages) and then was guilted into staying and watching the rest by my 7 and 9 year old sisters. It didn't take long to catch up on the plot, which plods along with loads of I was unfortunate enough to walk in on the second half of this movie (during one of the many corny training montages) and then was guilted into staying and watching the rest by my 7 and 9 year old sisters. It didn't take long to catch up on the plot, which plods along with loads of forced sophomoric attempts at comedy. The ending was so cheesy I almost couldn't bear to watch it. Not kidding. It's great for 7th graders who like Lisa Frank. Everyone else steer clear.… Expand
