She's the Man has been my favorite movie since the moment I first saw it. For some reason, the jokes and punchlines never get old. Before I go any further, if you haven't seen this movie, you need to ASAP. It will change your life.
Now one could ask, 'Can I really relate to a girl who dresses up like her brother to play soccer at a different school while secretly falling in love with Channing Tatum?' You betcha!
Lesson #1: People aren't always who you think they are.
Kind of ironic, considering she was pretending to be someone she wasn't, BUT that's beside the point! Moving on!
Lesson #2: ALWAYS chew like you have a secret.
*smack, smack, smack, smack*
Lesson #3: Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself.
You drop that mic, Amanda. Drop it.
Lesson #4: Flirting is difficult, but shockingly, cheese is a good conversation starter.
My favorite is Sharp Cheddar...
Lesson #5: There is someone for everyone.
Hey, asthma can be hot!
Lesson #6: Stereotypes aren't always correct.
As mentioned before, people aren't always what they seem, so be careful not to judge them too quickly.
Lesson #7: Chicks dig bald guys.
Male patterned baldness is the next big thing, people!
Lesson #8: Never forget to have fun!
Don't be afraid to let loose sometimes! Have your own little random dance party.
Lesson #9: Some people aren't always the nicest.
It's okay to recognize this and walk away.
Lesson #10: If you're going to attempt to attract the opposite sex, make sure your attempts aren't creepy.
Malcolm and Eunice are creepy, don't be like Malcolm and Eunice.
Lesson #11: You can't always ignore your emotions.
I know what you're thinking...
But showing your emotions instead of keeping them to yourself can help relieve a lot of stress, and they aren't as scary as you might think.
Lesson #12: Never ever underestimate yourself!
You might not actually be brilliant, but keep reaching for your dreams! I know I will!
The overall storyline might be a bit outlandish and highly comedic, but I think we can all take away something inspirational.
