Shakespeare should laugh

Viola and Sebastian are twin brothers and sisters who can’t resemble each other. Their personalities seem to be reversed. The older brother likes to play the piano and write lyrics. The younger sister doesn’t love red makeup and football. Unfortunately, this is the United States. Football is not the focus, and the women’s football team does not. It will be treated as a sonorous rose for protection, but needs to make room for other projects at any time.

The elder brother played truant to go to London to attend the concert and needed someone to cover her. The younger sister pretended to enter the elder brother’s school to join the football team and wanted to prove "who says a daughter is inferior to a man".

Although the make-up in the movie is not thorough, especially the younger sister Viola is not only baby fat, but also pouting, but she is too cute, so I bought it like her team members, not willing to pierce her.

It's not easy for Viola to dress up, no matter how rude she is, she is only a playful tomboy. She has a weird tone and vulgar conversation. When the ball hits her crotch, the people next to her look hurt, but she doesn't respond. The director didn't seem to worry that she would show up in the shower with boys, dormitories and players. Viola reacted really fast, saying that she was allergic to sunlight (who had heard of this disease?) and she didn't need dew points.

Just like in Shakespeare's play, Viola’s roommate is football captain Duke (Duke). He has a crush on Olivia, the handsome schoolgirl. Olivia likes Viola, but Viola likes Duke. Who wouldn’t like Duke? Even if he chats in the dormitory, he will not disrespect girls. He has an unexpected kind of kindness. He looks very masculine, but he is actually very sensitive. He will blush and stutter when he sees a girl he likes. He is smart on the court and clumsy in love. He has to help each other with Viola. This trick is more effective than the show. They have more time to get along with each other. To be honest, Viola is too incompetent, although she prides herself on "I knew women since I was born." "That's true, look at her move: "Don't blush!" Is this something Duke can control? "Do you like cheese?" When chasing girls, you have to chase after the year of the monkey. She said that Cheese's mouth shape is really cute, but it is definitely not suitable for Duke. Of course, we are very happy to see Duke's embarrassment when he took the medicine. The face is even redder!

Under the tune of such a "completely objective and unselfish third party", Duke naturally could not grow. When Olivia took the initiative to tease him, he still fainted and needed a wrench to calculate 2*2= 4! Seeing that he waited four years for the great moment of the first kiss of Olivia and was speechless (Olivia has kissed 350 people, including the old man chewing on an unknown object that is not gum), we can see Duke's infatuation and kindness, even in the great disappointment that the person he loves turned and left, he did not forget that he could not hurt the self-esteem of other girls, so he had to kiss Viola (the screenwriter is really smart! After watching this movie, Love House and Udi I looked for Step Up and Coach Carter of Channing Tatum. In the latter two movies, he is just an expressionless model who can dance and play ball. Love songs, not singers.)

There are many cute supporting characters in the play: everywhere. The headmaster who doesn’t care about anything and his bright bald head; the nervous mother who dreams of her daughter becoming a lady; the president who teaches bad girls to use eyes instead of fighting; he is weird with huge braces but knows "some" KitKat's nympho; a makeup artist who is immersed in the social miracle of his own director; a seemingly harsh and demanding coach who finally shows his kindness; a love rival with a pet spider who confides in his heart; an ex-boyfriend who will cry if he loses...Excellent.

In addition, the producer Ewan Leslie is a Shakespeare fan. The screenwriter Karen has written "Look at the Wicked Woman Opposite" and "Jin Fa Stun", and the director Andy Fickman directed "Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical".

This is a play full of kind humor, clean, clumsy and affectionate. Many details are handled very interestingly, and it persists until the end of the play. It is highly recommended.
