8 Best Reimagined Shakespeare Movies

8. She's The Man

She's the Man takes the gender disguising comedy of Twelfth Night and adds a strong layer of female empowerment to the narrative. Incredibly cheesy and a clear product of the early 2000s chick flick craze, She's the Man has some laugh out loud moments among the cringe humour.

Amanda Bynes stars as Viola, an aspiring football player whose female team is cut from her school. When her brother Sebastian tells her he's going to miss the first two weeks at his new boarding school so he can go to London, Viola hatches a plan to disguise herself as Sebastian and play for the men's team at his school.

Of course, being a convincing version of her brother proves no easy task as Viola has to juggle being one of the boys while also hiding her identity. Things get even more complicated when she begins to fall for her roommate and the team's star player (played by an, at the time, unknown Channing Tatum) while the girl that he likes begins to fall for Viola.

With some surprisingly layered exploration of female equality and criticisms of the kinds of things that women are expected of, She's the Man is a fun time throughout.
