Amanda Bynes gets the laughs in this teen
comedy in which her character has to pretend to be a boy if she wants to play
soccer.
What do when you’re a
female soccer player and your high school cancels the girls’ team? I guess a
lawsuit would take too much time, so instead our perky heroine (Amanda Bynes)
dresses up as her brother so she can play on the boys’ team. She has to
remember that boys talk differently, don’t openly lust after their heterosexual
male roommates, and, of course, don’t cry—except when a soccer ball hits them
in the crotch. I think the scenario would have been slightly more believable if
all the other students in the school hadn’t looked to be in their mid-20s, but Bynes
herself does a good job. In the end, this is basically still just a typical teen
movie. (If you’ve seen Tootsie, the same romantic complications ensue.)
Still, it makes the most of the premise, and made me laugh.
