She's the Man (2006) is a romantic comedy film inspired by William Shakespeare's *Twelfth Night*. Directed by Andy Fickman, the movie stars Amanda Bynes as Viola Hastings, a soccer-loving teenager who disguises herself as her twin brother, Sebastian, to join his boarding school's soccer team after her own team is cut.
When Sebastian secretly leaves for London to pursue his music career, Viola takes his place at Illyria Prep, hoping to prove her skills and beat her former school's team. While posing as her brother, Viola struggles to maintain her disguise, especially when she develops feelings for her roommate and soccer captain, Duke Orsino (played by Channing Tatum). Meanwhile, Duke is smitten with Olivia, a classmate who inadvertently falls for "Sebastian" (Viola in disguise).
Hilarity ensues as mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and comedic misunderstandings unfold. The truth is eventually revealed during a soccer match, leading to heartfelt resolutions. Viola wins Duke's love and earns her place on the team, while other characters find closure in their respective relationships.
The film blends modern humor with Shakespearean themes, offering a lighthearted take on gender roles, self-expression, and love.
