She's the Man!

She's the Man (2006) starred Amanda Bynes and was a romantic teen comedy based on Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night. The movie gives the classic Shakespeare plot line a modern twist to entertain young audiences. While there is no shipwreck and social class is examined within high school, there are still many common ties between the classic play and this new interpretation. Duke, Olivia, Viola, and Sebastian serve as names for the four protagonists, but Malvolio was developed into Malcolm. The subplot from the script is not represented in the movie. Below is a trailer for the movie.
