She's the Man (12A)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.When the girls' "soccer" team at Viola's school is scrapped, she disguises herself as her twin brother Sebastian and turns up at his new school, in the hope that she can get to play football there.
But if it weren't thorny enough for her to avoid the showers and to call everyone "bro", things get thornier when Viola falls in love with her room-mate, Duke Orsino. Yes, it's another breezily enjoyable high school comedy loosely based on a Shakespeare play - Twelfth Night in this case. There's even a pet tarantula named Malvolio.
It's definitely one for teenage girls, but Amanda Bynes clowns around with such an appealing lack of vanity that she could be the next Julia Roberts - or the next Jim Carrey.
