Tagline: Everybody has a secret... Duke wants Olivia who likes Sebastian who is really Viola whose brother is dating Monique so she hates Olivia who's with Duke to make Sebastian jealous who is really Viola who's crushing on Duke who thinks she's a guy...
Plot: Viola Johnson (Amanda Bynes) had her own good reasons for disguising herself as her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk) 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 (Channing Tatum), who, in turn, only has eyes for the beautiful Olivia (Laura Ramsey). 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 aren’t complicated enough, the real Sebastian comes back from London two days earlier than expected and arrives on campus having no clue that he’s been replaced…by his own twin

Some movies are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. For She's the Man, the answer to the multiple choice question is (d): none of the above.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
But great acting chops are no defense against bad directing and even worse writing. The cast is trapped, forever doomed to have this as an entry on their resume. Simply put, this is horrible.  --PAM GRADY (Reel.com)
...not just bad, it may actually be able to kill brain cells. Though, if given the chance of going quickly and having to sit through Ms Byne’s repeated proofs that her career can only be explained by a pact with Satan, what cell wouldn’t choose the former?  --Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
...Teenage girls will love it, their parents will tolerate it, and the studio will turn a profit. What more could you ask for?  --Jason Zingale (Bullz-eye.com)
A funny look at an updated Shakespeare play! Amanda Bynes shines throughout the film!  --Steven Chupnick (MovieWeb)
Of course, the film is filled with disposable, tuneless pop punk music, montages upon montages, and an ending that incorporates both “the big game” and a formalwear event; but there’s a bliss to Bynes’s performance, and “She’s the Man” in general, that’scompletely unexpected, and warmly welcomed. Maybe Shakespeare would’ve approved after all. --Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)

| ...While that might have been predictable, because it is, after all, a movie about high school, I was utterly amazed when I found myself being thoroughly entertained by what at first glance looks like a frivolous teeny-bopper movie. Well, that’s what it is. But it is a frivolous teeny-bopper movie that amused this adult, and I’m not that easy. 7/10 --Tony Medley (TonyMedley.com)
...The semblance of the story, a few character and location names are ported over, but that’s about it, really; the whole movie is a noisy teen comedy to keep the young crowd entertained on a Friday night and nothing more.  --Jason Whyte (eFilmCritic.com)
Clearly this is not a movie aiming for realism. It is aiming to be a light hearted comedy that will be most enjoyed by young girls, and at that it succeeds. However, I'm not so jaded that I can't admit that I found quite a few laughs here myself.  --Scott Nash (TheMovieBuffs.com)
