Natalie defends a movie she loves even though she knows it's terrible.
Now this week I am not going to lie: I definitely only love this movie because I love soccer. I realize not even the soccer scenes are realistic, but I give it props for the premise. If you don't love, or even like, soccer you might not get anything I am about to say. With that said the movie of the week features Amanda Bynes playing the worst guy ever and some REALLY unbelievable soccer scenes.
Why I Love It:
5. Channing Tatum playing his totally predictable, dumb, but totally lovable jock character.
4. The fact that Amanda Bynes looks nothing like a boy and yet everyone just goes along with it no questions asked.
3. Every 16 year old girl who has every played soccer can totally relate to Amanda Bynes' character. AKA tom boy, who just loves soccer and would never take part in any sort of debutant ball where a puffy dress was mandatory.
2. Unnecessary drama that should be way more serious, but somehow ends up being very light hearted and funny? I'm always down.
1. Like I said soccer. I pretty much love any movie that puts soccer as a teenage girl's motivation for doing whatever the premise of the movie is. Throw that out there and I will line up to pay and see it!!

Why It's Terrible:
5. Where do I begin? Let's start out with the series of plot holes that would make this actually impossible to carry out. How would the parents not have to escort their son to his first day. He's supposedly some delinquent who keeps getting kicked out of schools for ditching. And the parents really aren't gonna check in at all?!

3. Shakespeare must be rolling over in his grave after seeing how one of his best comedies is made a mockery of with meaningless high school drama and terrible humor.
2. Let's just compare She's the Man with 10 Things I Hate About You. Both are Shakespeare remakes for the the modern day, however one is led by two very talented actors Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger and the other Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum. Enough said.
1. The soccer scenes are AWFUL!! There is nothing at all believable about the boys who are supposed to be "soccer stars" having ever touched a soccer ball before in their life! And if Amanda Bynes is supposed to love soccer so much and play it all the time then why do I get the feeling that a 5 year old who just started playing could kick her ass??

I will admit out of all the movies that I have written on this one is most definitely the worst. I still love it, but it barely has any redeeming qualities for a watcher who isn't a crazy, soccer-obsessed teenage girl.
