"She's the Man" is a modernization of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" in which Viola (Amanda Bynes) poses as her brother Sebastian in order to play on the boy's soccer team at the exclusive private school Sebastian is supposed to attend. Meanwhile, Sebastian leaves home to work on his music career. While trying to make the soccer team, Olivia must convince her new schoolmates that she is her brother using fashion and acting tips from her friend Malcolm. Complications arise when both Sebastian's ex-girlfriend and Olivia (Laura Ramsey), a beautiful member of the social elite, pursue Viola believing her to be Sebastian. Things are even further complicated when Viola falls for her roommate Duke (Channing Tatum) and he returns her feelings, much to his own confusion.
