Viola, wanting to prove herself in soccer, disguises herself as her brother Sebastian and attends his school, where she meets (and falls for) her roommate Duke, who wants to date with their classmate Olivia, who develops a crush on Sebastian, who is actually Viola in disguise. Oh, joy.

Short review: BWAHAHA! I didn't think it was going to be this funny!

Long review:
Because Twelfth Night is my favorite Shakespearean play EVER, I had hesitations in watching this... Read full post... That's precisely why I skipped watching it back in 2006, mainly. I watched the other day, and let's just say it was hard to keep from laughing loudly. (It was almost midnight and everyone else was asleep.)

The plot closely follows the general direction of the play, but uses football to be Viola's motivation. 'Nuff said about the plot.

Amanda Bynes does an outstanding job as a girl in disguise! I mean... she's a gorgeous girl, but when she begins acting as Sebastian, I would be convinced that she's a guy. A rather awkward, desperate-for-attention one, but an amusing guy nonetheless. Kudos to Amanda!

Very good, hilarious script! And the actors did a very good job in the comedy, methinks.

My only problems with it would be:
(1) The ending. Not that the ending's bad, it's just... not executed well... sorta. But the climax was good! :)
(2) Duke. Okay, so he's hilarious as a shy hottie, but there were moments when I think he became a bit too dorky.

Hm... I think that's it! Nice movie, hilarious scenes. I like it! :)
