She's the Man: Would Shakespeare be Proud?

Thanks to a good friend, I sat down to enjoy this amazingly funny movie. Andy Fikman's "She's the Man" was the ultimate entertainment. Amanda Bynes plays Viola, a soccar player forced to dress as her brother to be able to play. Through awkward-guy moments, romance, and laughter, Viola wins the game, the man, and many friends. This movie was inspired by Shakespeare's 12th Night.

For those of us who love Shakespeare, there would be a debate: Is this insulting, or would Shakespeare be proud to be associated with this movie?

Keep in mind that this movie was inspired by him, and this in itself would have made him glad, but as an actor, Shakespeare would have appreciated the humor and the entertainment value.

As a poet, he would have seen it as a shallow script, not much thought put between the lines despite the obvious humor of it.

Whatever he would have thought about it, I enjoyed laughing with a friend.
