Look, She's the Man was a solid teen rom-com in 2006. Amanda Bynes was at her peak, the gender-swap premise had some cultural bite when girls' sports were getting less support, and the Shakespeare angle gave it a veneer of sophistication.

But here's the thing: it's 2025, and this movie has not aged gracefully. The humor feels very mid-2000s (and not in a good way), the fashion is a time capsule, and the central message about girls proving themselves in sports feels both important and weirdly executed through a plot that requires the protagonist to lie to everyone constantly.

The audience score (79% on RT) is way higher than critics (44%), which tells you this is a nostalgia play—people who loved it as teens still have warm feelings. But will your modern tween connect with it? Maybe, if they're into retro rom-coms or Amanda Bynes specifically. But there are better, more current options that tackle similar themes without the dated cringe factor.

It's not unwatchable, but it's definitely skippable unless your kid specifically requests it or you're doing a Y2K movie marathon.
