SHE'S THE MAN
SYNOPSIS
It's hard enough being the nerdy new guy on
campus without also being the new girl on
campus, who has fallen for the coolest guy on
campus, who is totally obsessed with the most
beautiful girl on campus, who is crushing on the
nerdy new guy on campus.
Viola Johnson (Amanda Bynes) had her own good
reasons for disguising herself as her twin brother
Sebastian (James Kirk) and enrolling in his place
at his new boarding school, Illyria Prep. She was
counting on Sebastian being AWOL from school as
he tried to break into the music scene in London.
What she didn't count on was falling in love with her
hot roommate, Duke (Channing Tatum), who in turn
only has eyes for the beautiful Olivia (Laura
Ramsey). Making matters worse, Olivia is starting
to fall for Sebastian, who—for reasons Olivia
couldn't begin to guess—appears to be the
sensitive type of guy she'd always dreamed of
meeting. If things weren't complicated enough, the
real Sebastian has come back from London two
days earlier than expected and arrives on campus
having no clue that he's been replaced…by his own
twin sister.
