All in all, it's minor but decent-spirited entertainment, enlivened by a couple of the adult supporting players.

She's the Man has a certain charm and is sure to appeal to tweens, at least the female variety.

Boston Globe
The movie might take the Cliffs Notes approach to Shakespeare (the script is smart, the direction lousy), but the navigation of high-school social politics is refreshingly direct.

The cast is solid. The story is fast-paced and funny. And most importantly, I laughed and laughed.

I didn't for one second believe the plot of "She's the Man," but I did believe for the entire movie that Amanda Bynes was lovable.

There I sit, suffering total numbness of body and brain, no longer having to wonder what it might be like to be buried alive in gooey marshmallow.
