[@blue-uv4mh]

I think the thing that aged poorly is mostly the scene of them having to "proove their sex" and the side charackters being shown to love it. A) because that‘s litterally illegal in public B) It feels transphobic to yell someone‘s sex out to everyone through a megaphone to try to "expose" C) them depicting a team capitain suddenly forgetting how to football/ soccer just because she‘s a she. Yes, she wouldn’t be the best of the male team, but that drastic drop in capability and knowledge would require amnesia or serious weight gain or something Other then that, I don‘t think it‘s that bad either. Let‘s just say it was a product of it’s time, and wasn’t the worst in this context.

Thnks for making me feel old. 20 years ago already? Damn feels like my teens were just yesterday.

[@sinakus7938]

One of the funniest reviews I've seen you do 😂 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 thank you for making me laugh so much 😊

[@87alsjth]

God I love this movie so much. The part where Duke (Channing) snaps the towel on Malcom kills me every time. This movie is a retelling of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” 3:47 LOL that angle and leg cross 😂

[@trinaq]

Coolness, apparently Channing improvised that moment on the spot, and Malcolm's actor's reaction was genuine.

[@87alsjth]

@@trinaqYep, it was. The dvd has an audio commentary and Channing mentioned it during the commentary.

[@MostDefinitelyNotRosie]

​@@trinaqI hope Malcolm was ok that looked like it hurt!

[@trinaq]

Yet another teen movie which is an update of a Shakespeare play, in this case, Twelfth Night. Amanda Bynes and James Kirk don't really look that similar that people would mistake them for each other, so they have to work around it by having Olivia close her eyes when kissing the real Sebastian. It's worth noting that the school had never met him before, but it's less plausible later on.

[@kamsismith]

Which teen movie based on a Shakespeare story was better: This movie or 10 Things I Hate About You?

[@trinaq]

​@@kamsismithHmm, it's a tough call, but I think that Ten Things was more memorable. How about yourself?

[@kamsismith]

Same. I watched She's the Man on Netflix with my siblings and it’s fine for what it is. It's crazy that Channing Tatum went from being in a lot of teen comedies and romantic dramas to being in everything outside of that.

[@Missmagazinebura]

Amanda’s voice is too girly lol she could have gotten a voice recorder of her brother so it would work

[@trinaq]

@@kamsismith Agreed, I watched it with my mum, and she liked it, though maybe Channing Tatum had something to do with it. 😉 We both burst out laughing when Viola and Duke are scared by the spider! 🤣

[@kapowjam3462]

I also hope Amanda Bynes is happy. I haven't watched this movie for years, I know I saw it more than once but I also remember basically thinking it wasn't a rewatchable movie even though lots of my friends watched it over and over. Yeah all of this explains it pretty well. And I didn't remember that but it is really weird she suddenly needed that sort of soccer help. If it was learning the different style of play or play book that would make sense, different teams can have really different styles, formations, etc that could take a while to pick up and get comfortable in. But I'm guessing whoever wrote this doesn't really know anything about soccer so they just said "she was good at soccer but now she's trash."

[@creepersteal497]

I saw this movie in high school cause the English teacher we had was having us read Twelfth Knight, needless to say I love this movie for that very reason. Also it was her first time teaching so she was very cool and chill

[@generaldane]

Seeing that Frank Lampard poster at 6:54 made me nostalgic for that era Chelsea

[@serina-ir9km]

I’ve been studying Twelfth Night at school recently and our teacher was going through PPT slides and this movie was on it. Immediately, all the girls in my class started shrieking lol

[@goobermcboogerballs1420]

Ohhh I thought it was twelve knights. Damn, that's why I couldn't find it lol

[@wildste]

Really? I mean, find it kinda weird that kids in high school today even know this movie exists.

[@Musiclover-qh2mv]

I was about to say this is starting to sound really familiar

[@Kate-er-tots]

This movie is actually a really really good adaptation of the play

[@TheCharleseye]

​@@wildste Why? It's not like streaming services block out movies from certain eras based on the age of the viewer.

[@selmadjeziri8285]

I recently rewatched it and I was shocked at how funny it was !! I remember I loved it when I was a kid because I was a girl and a football (not soccer thank you) enthusiast so I felt represented 😭

[@Raximus3000]

Too bad some took it seriously despite the gap in overall ability. If the world champions at the female league lose to highschool boys then this is pure fantasy in every meaning of the word.

I remember how it helped me to get enough confidence to get to the mens firesport team (we had womans team too but there was not enough of us so we wen to compete just few tiems a year) after I find out it was allowed (I had to beat other men in test before the season started but luckily firesport is not just aobut strenght and speed but quite a lot of positions in the team requiere skill and training with the qequipment)... And we were able to win quite a lot of competition (even with me as a woman in the team which other teams made fun of because "I was jsut a little weak girl")

[@samie.6334]

I play video games with dudes that locker-room talk and critique women all the time, but I also know guys who are genuine and open about wanting a connection with someone. Truthfully, people are just people. They are all different and deal with life in different ways. But all seek a connection.

I get duke teaching viola because a) Illeria may be better than corn wall and have more tricks up their sleeves b) this coach is tougher than her previous one and c) you always need to learn something new to improve on your craft. I feel while he did teach her, it did not take away from the talent she already had.

[@RB-vo4gi]

I appreciate this comment because it seems like everyone in the comments is just saying “ViOlA sUcKeD” for why he trained her. And it’s just… disappointing.

[@josephsteward3166]

Honestly her with the soccer was one of my favourite ‘wow, they really said that’ parts. She’s good in her own league, but when she joins the boys team she finds out it’s a totally different game, and has to relearn how to play. Great character work imo

[@Sarahopal]

The women's world cup winners lost to a team of boys under 15 years old 😆 I was happy the movie didn't make her better than the boys too

[@irondragonmaiden]

I mean, this says more about the way girls are trained than anything else, since Viola got to be just as good when trained as a guy.

[@TheMindofagenius1]

​@@irondragonmaiden that's just in the movie's narrative, has this ever been done irl before? Idk, but I would assume a woman, even IF she could withstand the training, wouldn't do as well as a man even if she was trained like one.

[@Sarahopal]

@TheMindofagenius1 there's a great interview with Serena Williams (I know it's tennis, but it still applies) where they ask her if she could beat a man playing tennis. She laughs and says there's No Way! It's a totally different sport. I don't remember how far down she would be ranked if compared to the men, but it's way down the list. They can pull it off in a movie but in real life, nah

[@TheMindofagenius1]

@@Sarahopal oh yeah, I remember seeing something like that, they even did like an actual match up or something? Not sure if it was Williams or not, but yeah, like a rank 100+ amongst the male's ranks easily beat whoever the female athlete was....

[@eowynsisterdaughter]

Your jokes were on point in this one! Especially loved the girlfriend having the curves of Junior Asparagus, girls going wild over tiny items they can hold in their hands, and your fears of producing athletic offspring who won't appreciate Persona 5. I Thought Olivia's challenges in the boys team was aknowledging that she would gave to up her game if she wanted to compete with them. Even if she was agile in her footwork, she wasn't on their level for endurance, speed, or push-up capacity.

[@jackapps2126]

lol, women have a much higher level of endurance than men. It’s in the nature. If men were to try to survive while pregnant - they wouldn’t last a day. And by the way, you are a sexist. Women can and must compete with men in sport competitions, men are just scared they they’ll be handed their @sses to them.
