Early 2006 isn't exactly shaping up to be full of blockbusters, but maybe it'll be alright. She's the Man is one of 2006's early slate of smaller flicks, and it's a modern retelling of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night". I'm a sucker for modernizations of Shakespeare. I even like Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet. This version of 'Twelfth Night" takes place on a college campus, which means it'll probably be more like National Lampoon's Shakespeare. That's not a good thing.

Here's the official plot description: 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.

Amanda Bynes isn't exactly a symbol of quality. There's no trailer for the movie yet, but the newly purchased folks at DreamWorks have provided us with a ton of sharp looking new stills from the film. To see them all, click over to She's the Man's page in our preview database.
