Is she the man on Amazon Prime?

Though I'm not too crazy about the cover as it doesn't include some characters and Amanda Bynes just looks weird, I did love the movie and can't wait for it to come out.

"She's the Man" is a high-school update of "Twelfth Night." (A shakespeare play). And as always with Shakespeare plays, there is a lot of pretending and disgusises. Amanda Bynes stars as Viola Hastings, a teenage tomboy who's crushed when the high school girls' soccer program is cut due to lack of interest, and the coach of the boys' team forbids them to try out. What's more, her supposed boyfriend, fellow soccer player Justin (Robert Hoffman), displays his chauvinism when he refuses to support her goals. Then several characters drop hints the size of anvils that Viola looks "just like" her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk) - who has just been transferred to the rival high school (Illyria Prep) on the other side of town - leaves for London to perform in a musical festival, Viola contrives a plan that has her undergoing a makeover so she can pretend to be Sebastian (because they look very similar ... a lie), try out for the soccer team, and then beat her old high school when they play in the season opener. Of course her divorced parents has absolutely no idea what has been going on, both thinking that the daughter has been staying with the other.

All this, of course, is a setup for Viola to learn how to walk, talk, dress and live like a man in a male dorm -- which still might have made for good comedy if the filmmakers had given it a chance. But they, or possibly Bynes' agent, refused to let the actress' long hair be cut, so she wears a ridiculous wig that would fool no one. Nor has makeup or the costume department come up with anything to make her into a credible male. And Fickman never lets her drop her femininity, so the whole cross-gender disguise gets lost.

Complications in Ewan Leslie and Karen McCullah Lutz & Kirsten Smith'sCQ the latter are a team/ep screenplay can only hint at the movie that might have been. Duke (Channing Tatum of "Coach Carter") grows to enjoy heart-to-heart chats with his surprisingly sensitive roomie and teammate Sebastian, causing his roommate to soften toward him in ways he could not imagine. He confesses to him his infatuation with school hottie Olivia (Laura Ramsey), who in turn yearns for -- yes -- Sebastian/Viola.

Meanwhile, Sebastian's (the real one) ex-girlfriend Monique (Alex Breckenridge) continues to make untimely appearances even as the school's ugly duckling Eunice (Emily Perkins) pines for every male, and that includes Sebastian.

PROBLEMS: none of the actors look they're age; you have to toss out reality by ignoring the really bad disguise and horrible "trying to sound like a guy" voice. She could have done better. But when you watch it with 5 girls like I did, it kind of disappears, leaving you a chance to laugh and drool over soccer players.
