(1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   "The immensely talented Amanda Bynes makes this updating of 'Twelfth Night' fun to watch."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B+ "Bynes elevates the material with her spunk, and deserves most of the credit keeping "Man" away from tedium with her resolve to keep the film fluffy and silly."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 1/5 "The utter absence of humor, charm, originality, or intelligence leaves this to rank among the worst of all recent teen comedies."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...there are certainly more than enough elements within the film to warrant a mild recommendation among older viewers..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "The thing that She's the Man deserves to be remembered for the most? Concrete proof that Amanda Bynes, no doubt about it, has what it takes to be a movie star."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman F "The protagonist's stupidity is a powerful, brutish force, a fog that hangs over the entire film like a stench."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/5 "I can’t wait to see Lindsay Lohan do a version of Hamlet."   Film Threat   Felix Vasquez Jr. B- "Obvious and cute in the way of so many teen comedies, but it's brighter and quicker on its feet than most."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "As was proven with 10 Things I Hate about You, it is possible to re-imagine the Bard in a modern high school setting, but She's the Man doesn't do it well."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 7/10 "The filmmakers took the correct route of not taking this premise seriously, so the movie winds up being unexpectedly and endearingly goofy."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen ""Maybe it's the movie Shakespeare would have written if he'd been writing movies for teenage girls. Only he wasn't.""   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards 1.5/5 "watching it helps you realize that you're not 12 anymore, and you can't be watching movies like this. Unless, of course, you're still 12, so you'll probably be cheering for Amanda Bynes"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "About what you'd expect from a teen romantic comedy, but nothing special. After all, it ain't Shakespeare. Oh wait... I guess it is."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 3/4 "Gotta love how Amanda Bynes will always rather get laughs than just look pretty."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest C "Bynes is just never believable as a guy, really, but she's got so much confidence she very nearly bluffs her way through."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford C "She's the Man is cleverer than the average teen movie, but it gets so wrapped up in plot mechanics that it loses the characters"   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer B+ "The opening credit sequence, a soccer game on the beach, sets a bright and brashly kinetic tone that keeps things bouncy as all of the characters and plot points come together for a happily ever after ending."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "At least Andy Fickman's proto-feminist romp has the wherewithal to score some of its female empowerment action to a bubblegum pop/rock rendition of The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager C+ "If you shut one eye you can almost believe this is Shakespeare."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 5/10 "Cutsey and wholesome, filled with silly, superficial slapstick, it turns out to be far more cheesy than it should."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1
