tylasya No seriously, if you think about it, its basically the legend of Mulan. She dresses like a guy to join a "group" that is fighting/competing agaisn't other "groups" (soccer). Than a boy starts going like, maybe I'm bi. Oh lol she's a girl, I'm a bit relieved. Well at least that's what the original story of Mulan was like before Disney attempted it.
Kirpianuscus like each film for teenagers, the fun is the basic purpose. and, in this case, the mission accomplished is the right definition. because Amanda Bynes is fantastic and Channing Tatum did a great job. and , sure, David Cross gives the perfect spice. the references to Shakespeare, the holes of credibility of entire story, the crazy humor, the nice hypothesis, the lovely music, all are pieces of a seductive film, charming scene by scene, easy but perfect for entertainment. so, a teenager movie. one of the most charming.
Hollywoodshack First of all, do we really need all the names from the Bard's Twelveth Night? When I see a western based on King Arthur's knights, the cowboys aren't named after Knights of the Round Poker Table. Who ever saw a soccer player named Benvolio? The film starts out well but begins to grow stale as Bynes continues to switch places with herself that her roommate on the soccer team is in love with. There is a lot of bullying and fighting where the reasons for it aren't quite clear. One scene has Bynes change back to a boy in a spinning carnival ride, certainly too fast and impossible to do under the seat holding bar. The warm up menu makes a grab line about who likes who, but if you're watching to study for a class about Shakespeare's plays, I recommend you cheat with some cliff notes instead. Film is infantile and immature to the extreme. The story book ending was so sugar- coated watching it could've given me diabetes.
Fazlia Zakaria The only thing I knew about this cast was Bynes did some work on Nickelodeon and Tatum had a string of teen flicks, neither of which I've watched before. Had a pretty low expectation given the genre so it was pretty pleasant to find out it wasn't as horrible as I anticipated it to be.Bynes was amusing enough (borderline annoying if your threshold is pretty low) during the whole OTT girl went undercover as boy disguise mission. Her mannerisms were similar to that of Bullock circa Miss Congeniality although I find Bynes being better in the silly department whereas Bullock excels better in bringing the romance into romantic comedy lead.Tatum made great eye candy although 'twas pretty painful to watch him go through the more serious scenes - like him telling Viola (as Sebastian) off in treating woman badly. He fared slightly better during silly scenes - like whenever he had to act all nervous every time he talked to Olivia.The supporting cast really shone here. I've always had a fondness for Jones so I'm thrilled anytime I see him (doubly so here since I didn't know he was cast). Cross did a great job along with Torti as well as Viola/Sebastian's crew in supporting her/him with the transformation and Duke's silly frat entourage.I could enjoy this a lot more if the subplot of Duke and Viola hooking up didn't feel so artificial and forced but alas, (i) romantic (/i) comedy sells better than straight up laugh in your face humour especially whenever we have a female lead. After all, it (i) was (/i) based on the Shakespeare's Twelfth Night play
