10-4-10-8 Movie #2 (blog #2)


Amanda Bynes stars in the movie, She's the Man. This hilarious film is about a young soccer player, named Viola Hastings, whose life is based on playing soccer. Even though her mother always wanted her to be a debutant, Viola pushed and pushed to play soccer. But when her team gets cut from the high school team at Cornwall, she asks if she can play for the boys' soccer team. Once she's refused by their coach and team, she decides to go in disguise and play for Cornwall's rival, Illyria.

Viola's brother, Sebastian, was supposed to attend Illyria, but decides to secretly go to London with his band. So Viola goes to Illyria disguised as Sebastian, meets her roomate and teammate, Duke Orsino, and makes the boys' soccer team, but as a second-string player(not a starter). Viola must switch from Sebastian to Viola many times throughout the movie. For example, her mom hosts a carnival and expects her to be there to work, and her soccer teammates are also going to the carnival, but they expect "Sebastian" to be there. With the help of her three friends, Kia, Yvonne, and Paul, she is able to get through the carnival, but it gets increasingly harder for her to keep their secret.

As the movie goes on, Viola, or "Sebastian," and Duke become very close, Duke's dream-girl, Olivia, falls for "Sebastion," and one of the most intense, and oddest, soccer game anyone could see takes place. To fully understand these events, you'll have to see this movie, and it's definitely worth-it!
