She's The Man 's lead actress, Amanda Bynes, is best known for her roles on show's like "All That" and the WB hit "What I Like About You." Her main appeal is young women and the same goes for this new Dreamworks film.

The story follows Viola (Bynes) as she transforms into her brother Sebastian ( James Kirk ) while he goes off to London to fulfill his rock star dreams. Viola wants to play soccer but her high school has cancelled the team since not enough students signed up. That's when she decides to transform and take off to her brother's new school where she can finally play soccer. Problems arise when she starts to fall for her roommate ( Coach Carter 's Channing Tatum) who thinks she is a guy but he has his eyes on Olivia ( Laura Ramsey ) who has her eyes on Sebastian.

The problem with young actors and actresses today is that either they have the gift to carry on a film or they don't. Fortunately for this film, Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum shine in easy roles that keep you interested in watching for the running time. The cast is talented enough to pull off that high school student persona without coming off fabricated or just too silly. Young audience appropriate laughs also let a light mood that keeps audience loving every minute. And while I enjoyed this film I thought most of the jokes and the basis of the script appealed more to an adolescent audience.

Director Andy Fickman really pushes the aspect of soccer and young women. Before the film's release he went on a tour from city-to-city emphasizing the connection. The theme of the story involves a lot of the power of a young woman and what she would do to play her sport and the real life obstacles along the way - even if a bit outrageous. The director manages to put this classic spin on the Shakespeare play "Twelfth Night."

She's The Man accomplishes being cute, funny and overall enjoyable. While it's no "Mean Girls" (2004) I would definitely recommend this film for a fun filled mother daughter movie night!
