She's the Man	comment	She's the Man is a 2006 teenaged Romantic Comedy starring Amanda Bynes (The Amanda Show) and Channing Tatum which is loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.Tomboy with a Girly Streak Viola Hastings (Bynes) is intensely into soccer, so much that when her private school, Cornwall Prep, cancels the girl's soccer team and refuses to let her play on the boy's soccer team, she hatches a plan to show them and her Jerkass ex-boyfriend that a girl can play just as well as a boy. Viola has a twin brother, Sebastian (James Kirk — no, not that one), who has recently been expelled from Cornwall for refusing to attend his classes. Sebastian decided to run off to London for two weeks to play with his rock band just before he is due to start at Cornwall's rival school, Illyria Academy, an elite boarding school. The twins decide to help each other and solve the other's problem at the same time.With the help of her sharp-dressing hairdresser pal Paul, Viola becomes Sebastian, enters Illyria, and voilÃ !. It's not a perfect disguise, but no one at the new school has met Sebastian (so they don't know the difference), and their parents are clueless because they're divorced and Illyria is a boarding school. Viola and Sebastian simply tell each that they are staying with the other, Her roommate is Duke (Tatum), the eventual Love Interest, but Viola has problems at first because of Sebastian's permanent record (he's a troublemaker) and because Viola is still a girl under her disguise. With a bit of help from her hairdresser friend, Sebastian is accepted into Duke's group of friends but is still second string for the boys' soccer team.Enter Olivia (Laura Ramsey) who becomes Sebastian's lab partner, though Duke has a massive crush on her. Duke, who has issues talking to girls, tells Sebastian this and asks for her his her help. And so begins the Love Dodecahedron as described in the poster.Compare Just One of the Guys, which was Twelfth Night in an '80s high school.

Additionally, Malcolm's last name is "Festes", a nod to the character of Feste in the original play who was cut entirely.

When Sebastian is mistaken for being Viola impersonating him, he gladly drops his pants and exposes his genitals to the soccer teams, coaches and everyone watching to prove he is not lying. Malcolm is visibly traumatized by this. Later, when Viola confesses everything to the teams as well as her love for Duke, she ditches her wig and flashes her breasts when they're still in disbelief. Everyone's pretty shocked by the revelation at first, biut they get over it quickly.

On the other hand, if Viola's school had tried to invoke that rule, Sebastian's could have pointed out that refusing to even let the girls try out violated Title IX. An Illyria player executes a handstand/flip throw-in. While technically legal note when the ball is launched, it is delivered from behind and over his head, his feet are behind the touch line and he's facing the field of play it is highly impractical.

It's Lampshaded and justified in the beginning; no one at the school had seen Sebastian before. After he finally arrives, it gets a lot less plausible to the point that the writers have to weasel a couple of Contrived Coincidences (Olivia keeping her eyes closed and Sebastian putting on some "war paint" right before the game) to make it work. In fact, the director commentary says that they had to cut a scene where a couple of people see Sebastian up-close before the game because it completely shattered the Willing Suspension of Disbelief.

She loves fashion and shoes, wears a pretty bikini while playing soccer at the beach party and doesnâ€™t actually seem to mind wearing dresses, itâ€™s just fancy, big, over-the-top gowns that she despises.

Identity fraud, especially today, is a serious crime, one that they put you away for. This rule seems to be the only reason why the authorities do not get involved. note There could be other reasons, such as no attempt at financial gain, the victim of the theft not pressing charges, her being his sister who only did it to help him out, etc. but this is clearly the biggie.

She's the Man / int_e462893a	comment	Artistic License â€“ Sports: In the final game. Viola's penalty is saved by the opposition's goalkeeper, and she stays where she is. When the ball is headed back in, she's standing in an offside position, meaning her otherwise brilliant winning goal would not have counted. Also in the final, how the penalty was won. Viola makes a great run and goes down in the box due to a defender's heavy sliding tackle. The referee points to the spot and sends off said defender. However, if you look closely, the defender touches the ball first before taking out Viola. This is a perfectly legal, if robust, challenge, and should not have been a foul at all, much less a red card/penalty double whammy. The real Sebastian is substituted off during the first half of the final game, then in the second half, Viola as "Sebastian" is substituted back on. Under official FIFA rules, "return substitutions" are only allowed in the lowest levels of competition such as recreational games.

She's the Man / int_e5421161	type	Expy
She's the Man / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Many of the main characters are based on the cast of Twelfth Night: Viola Hastings is Viola. In this film she disguises herself to impersonate her brother Sebastian, but in the play she takes on the male identity of Cesario. Here, Cesario's is the name of a pizza place where some of the film's action occurs. Sebastian Hastings is Sebastian. Much like in the play, his unexpected arrival resolves the Viola/Duke/Olivia love triangle: Olivia mistakes him for Viola's male alter-ego with whom she has already fallen in love and he reciprocates, while Orsino/Duke makes the same mistake as Olivia and becomes temporarily jealous and devastated as a result. After all has been resolved, Viola properly introduces Sebastian and Olivia to each other. Olivia Lennox is Lady Olivia. At the beginning of the story she is not open to dating as she's still cut up about the end of her latest bad relationship, while her theatrical counterpart is in deep mourning over the deaths of her father and brother. However, she soon begins to fall for Viola's male alter-ego, and ends up with the real Sebastian. Duke Orsino is Duke Orsino (with Duke becoming his first name rather than a title, and Orsino his surname), Viola's love interest. As captain of the soccer team, Duke is in a position of power analagous to the original Orsino's position as Duke, and he bonds with Viola in a way that he might not have if he had known she was a girl. Malcolm Festes is Malvolio. Like his theatrical counterpart, he is a presumptuous killjoy whose pursuit of Olivia and jealousy of "Sebastian" ultimately leads him to make an enormous fool of himself. In nods to the original, his surname refers to Feste, and he has a pet tarantula called Malvolio. Paul Antonio is Antonio, with elements of Viola's Sea Captain friend. Here, he is a best friend and benefactor to Viola, whereas the original play's Antonio filled this role for Sebastian instead. Both characters also have Ambiguously Gay elements. Toby and Eunice are loosely based on Sir Toby Belch and Maria respectively. Both characters are distinctly nicer and more innocent than their Shakespearian counterparts, however. Andrew is also loosely based on Sir Andrew Aguecheek.
