She's the Man

"Yeah. Yeah. NO. No playing. You have to forfeit. There's no girls in this league. Here, look in the manual."

She's the man is based around Amanda Bynes character Viola. Viola is a young teenage girl with a thirst for the sport football. At her school they had both a boys and a girls football team, due to cut backs at the school they dismissed the girls team. This comes as a surprise to the girls when they go to their practice and find the La cross team on the pitch. The girls in team suggest that they start training with the boys team which the coach laughs off claiming that it would not be fair as girls are just not as fast as boys. Viola then goes on an unbelievable journey to show/prove that girls are just as good as boy, with many mishaps on the way. This being because she has disguised herself as her identical twin brother Sebastian. It leads to all kinds of troubles, for instance Olivia falls in love with her, she in turn falls in love with Duke who she is currently sharing a dorm room with and there is the fact that she is trying to be convincing so that no-one will suspect that she is in fact impersonating her brother whilst he is bunking school to go play gigs in London with his band. However all hell breaks loose when the real Sebastian returns to school. With the help of her friends and a coach who is willing to give her a chance Viola proves herself to a rather good football player who can play for either the boys or the girls football team.

I was able to relate to this film because it shows how people are quick to judge others by ridiculous stereotypes and not let them try something they love and know they are more than capable of doing.
