She's the Man PG 13
A modern take on Shakespeare, ‘Ass You
Like It’, Amanda Bynes stars in this Channing Tatem flick where she disguises
herself as a boy to play in the boy's soccer team. A cute movie. Teen girls
loved it. Guys were a bit embarrassed to admit they also liked it. Coming of
age Nick star Bynes plays a character that at times seems too much like the
actress herself, but it’s all right. The flick has no real dramatic tension and
doesn’t need it. It is basically a vehicle for the stars to show how funny they
are, and sometimes there are genuinely clever lines and gender bending moments.
Made a star out of Tatem who had been only an underwear model before. The
reviewer attended a special screening in his city where he got some local news
for packing a theater because he wanted the kids from his family church’s drama
group and their friends to attend.Review by Adam Browne
