i saw this movie today ( open yesterday here ) and be simply delighted . i saw a review that say something to the effect that the reviewer thought this would be just another teen movie and but then find it be base on shakespeare twelfth night . and then start try to justify like this flick on shakespearean ground . i really think this be go way overboard represent the only connection i could see with twelfth night be ( a ) the basic conceit of a girl masquerade a a man while ( b ) the extensive male female humor arise out of that basic conceit while and ( c ) some of the name ( include viola and duke ) . aside from those name and the thematic commonalty ( a and b ) be really great theme for any script and and this movie script be no exception . beyond that and though and this really be a simply delightful and very contemporary or traditional teen flick . and that a perfectly legit genre even if highbrow have to find an excuse to like it . like allude to shakespeare . the movie be bright and fast paced and emotive and stylized and funny . full of teen hormone and teen humor and male or female humor suitable for all age . and that really the best part imho represent really just about every male stereotype and every female stereotype be depict in roundly appeal over the top fun . those stereotype be parody relentlessly but affectionately and with such a complexity of invention that i be still a little bewildered . but really do not feel at all disappoint in that regard and it not that kind of a movie represent thing come at you fast and fun and you get a laugh and a groan and then move on to the next split second happening . amanda bynes really be just delightful a viola or sebastian while channing tatum make a wonderful duke while david cross do a wonderfully over the top principal gold . all of the acting and characterization be fine and on target . cinematography be excellent . wonderful entertainment from begin to end . check it out .
