Shes the man

Recently, I realized the parallels between Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and the contemporary movie She's the Man. I only saw the film once years ago when it first came out, but the parallels are striking. Normally I am annoyed by modern day film makers insistence on copying Shakespeare as i feel that the directors are only revealing their own creative deficit. However, this time the result is amusing, thoughtful, and (most importantly) plausible.
