11 Reasons "She's The Man" Is Our Favorite Movie

"She’s The Man" is everyone’s all time favorite, classic movie. It’s mine, at least, and that’s really all that matters. I think it’s important to understand why we love the things we love, so I have done the dirty work and come up with the 11 reasons why it’s just so damn entertaining

1. OG Amanda Bynes.

Unfortunately, Amanda Bynes has become a tabloid story of drugs, rehab, and extremely inappropriate social media posts. This movie was her prime, and watching it brings you back to the days before she had cheek piercings and wanted Drake to --well, you know.

2. Channing Tatum.

Duke Orsino is every girls dream guy, sensitive and sexy. Oh, and he’s shirtless for three-fourths of the movie so, really, what else is there to say?

3. It's Shakespeare.

Fun fact if you weren’t already aware that "She's The Man" is actually an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s "Twelfth Night," so it’s not just a hilarious rom-com; it’s educational.

4. Viola's accent.

I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what it is about Viola’s Sebastian accent that’s so funny since the first time I watched it. Unfortunately, I have yet to figure it out but, nonetheless, it is one of the most entertaining parts of the movie.

5. Monique and Viola interactions.

I think this says it all, considering it’s the most incredible line of movie dialogue ever.

6. Paul's master plan to make Sebastian "cool"

Possibly the most notable scene from the entire movie is in the pizza place when Paul’s plan to make Sebastian cool is hilariously executed -- and then hijacked and almost ruined by Monique -- but it actually ends up just making Sebastian even cooler.

7. When Viola forgets she's Sebastian.

Viola (as Sebastian): Why? You’re hot!
Duke: What?

8. Eunice Bates.

Would this movie really be complete without Eunice’s awkward, yet highly entertaining, demeanor?

9. Headmaster Gold.

Always coming in clutch with the hilariously uncomfortable words of wisdom.

10. Mrs. Hastings.

We don't blame you, Viola.

11. Duke and Viola, Sebastian and Olivia, and Toby and Eunice all end up together

And they all live happily every after.

Oh, and I didn’t forget about Malcolm, but to be completely honest -- he just annoys me so I couldn’t get myself to put him on the favorites list.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
