Blog #2

I chose to write a blog on the movie “She’s the Man”. This movie came out in 2006. The main characters in this movie include Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, James Kirk, and Laura Ramsey.  Viola (played by Amanda Bynes) discovered that her school’s woman’s soccer team has been cut. She wanted to try out for the men’s soccer team but the coach wouldn’t allow it. Her boyfriend (captain of the team) laughed at her when she mentioned it so she broke up with him.  Her twin brother (Sebastian) was about to start school at the rival school and he asked her to cover for him. She decided to pretend to be him and make the soccer team there and beat her schools men’s soccer team. While pretending to be Sebastian she starts to like the captain of the soccer team who is also her roommate (Duke). Duke on the other hand liked the girl who likes Sebastian (Viola).  She ends up making the team but right before the big match against her real school her brother comes back early and messes everything up. The girl who likes Sebastian went up to him and kissed him and Duke who likes her saw and got very upset. Viola didn’t know anything about it and when she went back to the room she got kicked out. At the end of the movie they figured out that she was a girl. The other team (her real school) wanted the team to be disqualified but the coach of the other team stuck up for her. They ended up beating the other team because viola had a penalty kick. She scored and won the game like she planned on.  Viola and duke started dating, as well Sebastian and the girl. I really enjoy this movie it is one of my favorite. I play soccer and I understand what viola felt like. You shouldn’t be discriminated on for your gender. If you are good enough you should be able to play with the boys.  I recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good comedy.
