This a totally 80s film that uses women's rights as a means to gender-bending comedy in which a girl playing a guy falls in love with another guy while fending off another girl. It sounds silly, but pulls it off better than expected.

Just One of the Guys
Franz Patrick - wrote on 12/24/2007
A very good 80's movie that's been forgotten over the years. "She's the Man" is definitely influenced by this piece of gem. My favourite character is definitely Buddy, the sex-crazed brother. Everything he says is pretty hilarious even though some of the statements he makes are politically incorrect. Although the main prince charming of the film is a bit underdeveloped, he's still somewhat charismatic so the film works. Joyce Hyser deserves to be commended for doing a goob job posing as a guy. When I first saw her wearing men's clothing, I gasped and was at awe. I also liked the bit about women not being taken seriously. The whole "Why don't you become a model instead?" thing is addressed well and a good starting off point. Overall, I'd recommend this to people who miss smart and witty …
