I'm pretty sure they didn't give the brother and Amanda's character facial hair due to her dysmorphia. Playing the male character was difficult enough for her--to the point where she would avoid mirrors while in boy drag--so I think facial hair would've been too much for her. I love Amanda, and this movie was so much fun to watch when I was younger (and is still a guilty pleasure for me to this day). I just wish she had as much filming as we did watching. She's an icon, and I hope she'll be able to look back on this movie one day and see how great she really is.

[@hailey7368]

I feel bad that this role gave her dysmorphia. She's a stunning woman and was hysterical in the role. I thought she looked extremely feminine even while pretending to be the brother (which made it funnier since we could tell it was her), but I can understand why it'd mess with her head.

[@kjo9304]

I have to say that I love the crap out of this movie! Unfortunately it gave AB a huge complex around "looking like a boy" but I think the comedy *is* the absolute absurdity of it. She very much did not look like her brother (even from the back) and did not make a "convincing" (for lack of a better term) cis male character at all. And it was still somehow funny and charming. The mom is a waspy gem of a human. I would like to suggest "Ratz" (2000) as a movie review. It's about two teenage girls using magic to turn literal rats into humans for them to date. So.

[@persephonel2117]

That recording of her where she starts talking about killing her parents is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. She was in a terrible place. Don’t think she will ever fully recover.

[@WaitingtoHit]

At one point she was convinced that someone had implanted a microchip in her brain. Last year, she credited her parents with helping her recuperate and kick her addictions, and when she moved to end the conservatorship, her parents fully supported it. The conservatorship option exists for a reason, and not all parents are the same. They saved her life.

[@jogighopa]

Amanda Bynes' case is actually the case of conservatorship helping person; Britney was put under it for basically having emotions at journalists stalking her; Amanda was driving under influence and using drugs and actually had issues that need addressing and they were addressed; she also moved out of the spotlight to get help for her mental health and recover from her addiction, while Britney's famil abused her and forced her to work; in case of Britney, her family wanted to prevent her from getting out of the conservatorship so they could keep their "cash cow", while Amanda's parents actively supported her in ending the conservatorship. Conservatorships aren't inherently bad; the whole system was just abused when it comes to Britney, but can be very much beneficial to others.

I have so much to say about this one! I am a Shakespeare teacher and use this movie as part of our study on Twelfth Night: Or, What You Will. I think it's a really fun and decently accurate example of a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's play, as well as the Disney movie Motocrossed. In both of these the Viola character has to pretend to be her brother due to gender discrimination in sports, but in the play she doesn't pretend to be her brother at all; she's just mistaken for him because of the resemblance. She's the Man is pretty clever in how they incorporate the Malvolio character, but definitely had some cringe, especially at the end lol. Fun fact: Twelfth Night is named after the Eve of Epiphany, which is a "topsy-turvy" celebration & masquerade where one pretends to be someone/something else and everyone plays along. Even in Shakespeare's day this plot was not believable lol. The second part of the title "Or, What You Will" is basically Shakespeare for "Or, Whatever the Heck You Want". 😁

I watched a deep dive on KZbin once about Amanda Bynes and it made me feel so frustrated on her behalf. The IMDB fact about her role in this movie giving her depression is really simplified. Seeing herself as a boy gave her intense body dysmorphia/gender dysphoria. Her life as a celebrity being publicized (often without her consent by paparazzi) coupled with her own body image issues made her afraid of being seen when she couldn't control what she looked like. So I can totally see why playing a role in a movie where she looked nothing like herself could mess with her in a "that's not ME" out-of-body kind of way, as well as a "people are going to make fun of the way I look in this movie" kind of way. If I can find the video I saw, I'll add a link, because it really gave me some insight on her experiences!

​@@Lily27636body dysmorphia isn't logical and you can't control when or why you feel it

[@Stefengris]

@@Lily27636 I can only say this as a trans guy, but I feel gender dysphoria when I look like a girl, it's distressing and confusing. I can totally see it as logical, that someone who is a girl, strongly identifies as a girl, loves their appearance as a girl, but has to look like a guy; would also find that disconnect with their self image distressing and confusing. people just don't feel comfortable having to be something they don't connect with. it's scary looking in the mirror and not seeing yourself. true, many actors have to change their appearance for roles, or even to conform to industry expectations. Be it dressing a certain way, or feeling pressured to have plastic surgeries to maintain their careers. all these things can be really bad for peoples mental health. Some actors may be fine with gender-bending, others may not. it's all about peoples personal comfort levels.

[@4everasinger286]

"I'm looking for sebastian, where is he?" Jaime: ....you're literally at his house??? Just go inside??? FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES ME NOTICED THIS AND POINTED IT OUT 😂😂😂 it always confused me as a teen cause she could literally just go inside!!

[@akellerhouse83]

Haha. I was 23 when this movie came out and I did not see it until about 6 years later when I had my daughter and she watched it as a toddler. I always thought it was silly. But it kinda reminded me of a movie from my childhood called Ladybugs, where Jonathan Brandis pretends to be a girl to be on a soccer team. You should review that one!

[@absinthemindedJ]

Yes! Ladybugs!!!! 🙌

[@elizabethgreer27]

Yes lady bugs is so good!

[@stackels97]

Yessss

[@diamondstuddedpunchingbag4718]

I will always remember the commercial for this movie...."Duke likes Olivia, who likes Sebastian. Who's really Viola." 🤣 Side note....this movie is awesome!! ☺️ Also...petition for you to do "V for Vendetta"!! 🤣

[@emilyfiorini9538]

My oldest sister is an Aspie and "She's the Man" has always tickled her fancy. She always reminds me of the scene where the twins expose themselves to prove who they are at the end of the film followed by laughter 😂

[@calliepreston8000]

My family friend actually wrote the screenplay for this movie! She also wrote 10 Things I Hate About You (& Legally Blonde, but that’s irrelevant), but she’s always said she’s got a real thing for Shakespeare film adaptations lol this one was always my favorite

In 1999, when I was 18, I started university as a theater major, and my pals and I watched the VHS on a regular basis on my tiny TV and VCR in my tiny dorm room. Sorry for the run on sentence 😂

[@demitwice]

to be fair, me and my twin sister attended different high schools because i got into a special type of technical high school to major in computer science and my sister didn't (she also hated the area and did not want to study it, so it was nice she was able to attend a school she actually wanted to attend)

[@MsJal9512]

I was always very indifferent about this movie. It's just another "Just one of the guys" knock offs. You should definitely review that 80s movie. It was amazing. Love all your videos so much. 💕

[@your1supporter]

I actually like both movies.

[@jeg1215]

It also has a “boobs or it didn’t happen” scene. 😂 They’re both cheesy fun movies!

[@crystal25288]

I love that movie too 🤣

[@shosiesmax9642]

Agreed! This is trying too hard to be that movie in a lot of ways. Amanda Bynes overacting gets really old very fast. Her facial expression are too distracting.

[@Thislackspurpose]

It is insane to me how some of the movies you review were actual teenage favourites of mine, but since I haven’t seen them since I was just that - a teenager - I only have, like, fond and positive memories of them… until you break them down for me and I’m like “oh. Oh damn.” Same thing happened with Step Up, and Bring it on: all or nothing. At some point in my life, I actually liked those films. I did not know, Jaime. I did not know how bad they were! 😭 so many ruined teenage memories… but SO worth it! 😆❤

[@sarahmarrufo2542]

I legitimately scared my husband because of the excited noise I made when I saw that you put out this video. My self care evenings are so much more refreshing because of all the laughs you've brought me. Also, your makeup is on point today!

[@TooLegit2Quit84]

Jaime mimicking Amanda's voice saying "Ya gotta help me!" made me LOL way too much... 🤣

[@dracaryst9252]

Yay another movie review!!! ❤❤❤ I live for these. Also so sad what happened to Amanda, much similar to what happened to Britney :(

[@beckychamp8508]

I never realized this movie was based on a play until I found myself in a Bard on the Beach production of Twelfth Night. Halfway through I was like why do I know this plot? Lol. Changed my whole life. 😂

[@johnnyhamm4847]

Me and my sister love watching your videos Jamie. This was 1 of my favorite movies when I was young.

[@hollyt1265]

This is one of my favorite movies. The commentary is hilarious. A little unbelievable, absolutely. But wholesome and funny, I definitely think so. Plus Channing and his jawline are just stunning!

[@MentalHealthMonday]

One of my favorite reviews. I love the troll character, glad you brought her back. I'm sad you didn't show the scene where all the guys have tampons in their noses. But overall this was really funny!

[@QUEERVEEART]

that scene makes my mom laugh SO HARD she cant breathe like every time. lol it makes it even more funny to me

I love this video. Your Amanda Bynes voice and Sebastian scenes were on point. HOWEVER, that Toby and Eunice scene got me sitting here like that disgusted otter.

[@0deandra0]

I can't believe you didn't include the 'Chew like you have a secret' part! haha Amanda's best moment from this movie. XD

[@colap3848]

So happy you reviewed this movie!! I’ve been waiting for you to do this one. There’s just so much to make fun of. The fact that Sebastian’s girlfriend doesn’t realize it’s Viola in the restaurant… not believable in the slightest lol

[@ab.1985]

I love this movie, thank you Jaime! One of my best friends introduced me to this movie (plus many others you have reviewed) and I have the best memories of watching this with her. Unfortunately she passed away a few years ago but whenever I see this movie and others like it pop up I think of her ❤

[@amys4392]

10 Things I Hate About You is probably the best remake, it's hysterical.

[@pushinguproses]

Hey Jaime! Excellent video as always, your skits are amazing and I absolutely lose it at your added sound effects. I just wanted to pop in and add some perspective to Amanda’s reaction to seeing herself in boy form: I think Amanda has some body dysmorphia going on; I’ve been a chronic sufferer for years and educate people on it pretty frequently: when you see yourself in a different way, especially in this case where she has limited makeup and a downright unfortunate haircut, it can be *extremely* triggering. I think it’s been confirmed she does experience BDD, which is why you see her go through radical changes in appearance. I remember hearing a story from Lisa Foiles about Bynes being so upset about her acne she’d been to cover her face on the way to make up. It’s really sad, stuff I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I hope someday she really finds peace.

[@caprificusfigs]

Omg Roses! I love seeing your comments on videos -- your channel is one of my top favourites (along with Jaime's). Thank you for shedding light on body dysmorphia; I've only relatively recently come to terms with my own because it doesn't really get addressed, even by mental health professionals (at least where I live). I'm hoping that will change, and help and support will become more accessible. I didn't know Amanda struggled so much, it's heartbreaking.

[@bunnybearme]

This video made my day! I remember when I was new in college and made a bet with one of the guys from orientation to dress like a boy, and sneak into the boy's dorm. I won that bet 🤣 growing up around lots of male cousins only influenced my tomboyish style, and only in college it was mandatory for girls to wear skirts. People often mistook me as a boy from behind because I used to keep my hair short and I do have long sideburns.

[@DogwoodPride]

YAY! A movie I've actually seen! My cup of joy runneth over! 😁 Thanks, Jaime!

I think I liked it back in the day because she acted like her weirdo self and not an actual guy. Mainly because of her one liners. But it is extremely cheesy. I also liked the bathroom scene at the debutant lunch. I hated those lunches I had to go to, so back then it resonated with me 😂
