that burning hormone

Adapted from "Twelve Nights", one of Shakespeare's four comedies, it has almost no other similarities except for the main line of characters with the same names and women disguised as men. But this is also good, because it is more contemporary.
After the school's women's soccer team was disbanded, Viola, a girl who was unwilling to be looked down upon by the school's male soccer players, disguised herself as a man and pretended to be her brother to enter the rival school. There will be a football battle between the two schools in two weeks. Viola's belief is simple: Can't join them, beat them.
Dressing up as a man has always been a very interesting movie gimmick. How Viola can't be seen in the pure yang environment where almost every step is a trap has ensured that the film has enough jokes, plus the inevitable love between boys and girls. Love to go, it adds to the fun of the movie.
Viola, who is eccentric everywhere, is inevitably regarded as a freak by the boys, but she is favored by the school flower Olivia with her delicate soul. So Viola made a deal with her roommate Duke, Duke taught her to play football, and she helped Duke pursue Olivia. However, this roommate named Duke is too charming, and the matchmaker couldn't help but want to be the heroine. At this time, Olivia, who didn't know that Viola was a daughter, also made up her mind to catch up with this very special looking boy. In the chaos, the football game that is only for fighting for breath is getting closer...
This is a movie that is best not to think about, because the results of comparing with youth movies are often not good results. But if you just want to have a laugh, and want to see attractive handsome men and beauties flirting with love, this lively and joyous film is a good choice not to be missed, with endless hilarious plots. It is a great thing to have no burden to see and feel, and to be moved by the flying youth in the film.
The heroine Amanda Bynes made a certain sacrifice for the film. Her male appearance is very convincing, and she also grimaces frequently on the camera. She is only slightly charming when she is a girl. The male lead is played by Channing Tatum. I'm superficial and I like handsome guys, so I like this guy a lot, so I like this movie a lot.
Youth is such a warm and beautiful thing, you can make mistakes boldly, love and hate passionately. Every time I watch a movie like this, after laughing and making trouble, I can't help but feel this emotion.
