Here's the thing! Viola's soccer team at Cornwall gets cut. She wants to join the boys' team, but they do not allow girls. So she thinks, "If you can't beat them, join them". So she does! She disguises herself as her twin brother, Sebastian and goes out for the rival school, Illyria Boys' Soccer Team and makes it. Unfortunately, she didn't plan falling in love with her roommate Duke. But Duke has his eyes on Olivia. What makes matters worse is that Olivia starts to fall for Sebastian because he/she has a sensitive side. If things couldn't get more problematic, the real Sebastian (who was in London working on his music) comes home early. He arrives on campus and has no clue that he was replaced by his twin sister.

| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferShe's the Man is cleverer than the average teen movie, but it gets so wrapped up in plot mechanics that it loses the characters |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh LarsenAmidst all the gender-bending farce, the movie has a smart absurdist streak that allows for smaller giggles in the corners. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe protagonist's stupidity is a powerful, brutish force, a fog that hangs over the entire film like a stench. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekObvious and cute in the way of so many teen comedies, but it's brighter and quicker on its feet than most. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyAndy Fickman's indifferent direction only exemplifies the inefficient writing, which is inferior to the scribes' previous efforts, and too many plot points are glossed over in music montages. |

| USA TodayClaudia PuigThis is a perfectly pleasant, entertaining and often witty romp with engaging performances. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOf Amanda Bynes let us say that she is sunny and plucky and somehow finds a way to play her impossible role without clearing her throat more than six or eight times. |
| Christian Science MonitorRobert NewtonIt leaves viewers wanting more -- if not more Bard, then at least more of its hyperkinetic, unabashed young star. |
