Movie Review: She's The Man

I won tickets on an internet site for this, so I didn't have any preconceived expectations of the film. Besides being predictable, there are some cringe-worthy moments in the film. One of my favourite moments is to do with tampons - watch the film, you'll laugh yourself silly! If I hadn't won tickets, it would probably be something that I would eventually get around to watching on video or when it came on tv.

Plot: In this update of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Viola Hastings had her own good reasons for disguising herself as her twin brother, Sebastian and enrolling in his place at his new boarding school, Illyria Prep. She was counting on Sebastian being AWOL from school as he tried to break into the music scene in London. What she didn’t count on was falling in love with her hot roommate, Duke, who in turn only has eyes for the beautiful Olivia. Making matters worse, Olivia is starting to fall for Sebastian, who – for reasons Olivia couldn’t begin to guess – appears to be the sensitive type of guy she’d always dreamed of meeting. If things weren’t complicated enough, the real Sebastian has come back from London two days earlier than expected and arrives on campus having no clue that he’s been replaced – by his own twin sister.
