She's the Man: Difference between revisions

With the help of a [[Pet Homosexual|Gay Best Friend]], Viola becomes Sebastian!Viola, enters Illyria, and [[A Worldwide Punomenon|voilà!]] (the pesky problem of how their parents aren't realizing what's going on is that Illyria is a boarding school and the parents are divorced, so both Viola and Sebastian simply tell each that they are staying with the other, because [[Fridge Logic|it's not like divorced parents ever call each other to care for their children.]]) Her roommate is Duke, the eventual [[Love Interest]], [[Captain Obvious|obviously]] but Sebastian!Viola has problems at first because of Sebastian's permanent record (he's a troublemaker, what can we say) and the fact that Viola is still a girl. Eventually with the sprinkling of [[Magical Queer]] magic, Sebastian!Viola is accepted into Duke's group of friends but is still second string for the boys soccer team.

=== The film contains examples of: ===

* [[Compressed Hair]]: Viola's long, thick hair somehow fits underneath a fairly short wig. While any cosplayer can tell you it's possible with a wig cap and hair grips, Viola's shown to wear the wig directly on top of her hair.

* [[Different As Night and Day]]

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Channing Tatum, who spends a lot of the movie without a shirt on.

* [[Everyone Loves Blondes]]: Olivia Lennox has Duke and Malcolm chasing her and the rest of the guys admiring her but she would rather have the honest Sebastian.

* [[I Need to Go Iron My Dog]]: "I've gotta go change my...feet."

* [[Incoming]]

* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: The tagline pokes fun at this.

* [[My Sibling Will Live Through Me]]: Viola lives through Sebastian...well, just his life really.

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Out of all the guys who likes her, Olivia prefers honest Sebastain (who is actually Viola in disguise). She would later meet and fall in love with the real Sebastain.

* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]

** Also Malcolm to Olivia
