August 26, 2014Movie Synopsys
==========
This is a modern comedy loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The story follows Amanda Bynes' character (among others), Viola Hastings, who's high school soccer team gets cut. Unable to prove herself to college scouts and with other motivations in mind, she dresses up as her twin brother, taking his place to join his schools soccer team while he is away. The film evolves in awkward and funny ways as Viola is constantly trying to avoid being discovered all while attempting to make the soccer team and blend in with her classmates.
My Opinion
=======
I've watched this movie several times and I can't get enough of the awkward, funny, and heart-felt moments experienced as the story progresses. I love this movie! If you are an action junky or Macho Man Randy Savage, then this movie is probably not for you. But if you enjoy comedy with awkward yet funny situations with a little bit of romance mixed in then I urge you to get this movie!
Disc Technology
===========
This movie is in DVD format so don't expect cutting edge picture quality. If you have an HD display and a decent Blue-ray player, I'd suggest setting the player to the DVD's native resolution which I believe is 480P and then changing your TV's settings to zoom for the best picture quality. But this will easy become a pain in the neck, changing settings all the time. Sound quality is alright, again this is in DVD format. One thing I found odd is that the previews before the movie seem to have very poor picture quality. One in particular had me thinking they might have ported the preview from a VHS release. This had me nervous but I was quickly relieved when I saw that the picture quality of the feature film was what you would expect from a DVD. If there was a Blue-ray version of this movie, I would suggest getting it instead, as it would obviously have superior picture quality and resolution. But, alas, I don't believe this movie was ever released on Blue-ray. If it ever is I would buy it again.
Final Thoughts
=========
Great movie! Great price! Get it now! Unless of course you can find it on Blue-ray, then buy that one instead!

March 23, 2020This is a modern day classic. I really love these classic old Amanda Bynes characters! But this movie is charming and funny. The jokes still hold up nowadays and I still find myself laughing. The whole cast is great and works together amazing well. The link to Shakespeare and all of the little Easter eggs they left were extremely fun!

April 14, 2020Do not waste your money. I bought this movie and the movie won't even play. I requested a replacement and got another disk doing the same thing. Obviously the whole batch is defective and I will probably never get one that plays from here.
