The movie was about a girl that has a twin brother, in the movie there was a romantic mix up, when the girl used her brother identity. The brother was late for school because of his London trip; so, the girl went to his school pretending that she is her brother to proof for the guys the girls can play soccer like the boys or even better, at that time the girl falls in love with one of her brothers’ teammates. What was surprising that there was a beautiful girl that falls in love with her, assuming the she is her brother. So, there was a problem, first they thought he/she is gay, but with the help of her girlfriends that knew about her, she approved that she got a lot of girls that were in love with hem/her. Her brothers’ girlfriend came to look for her brother, and she assumed that the girl is her boy friend (the girls’ brother) which put her in a huge problem. After a wail the girlfriend discovered that she is her boy friend twin, she told the coach, suddenly the brother decided to cut his London trip short, and upon arriving on campus two days earlier than expected, they brought him to play instead of his sister, and he couldn’t, because he wasn’t his twin, but after the girl admitted that she had taken her brothers’ identity to proof that she can play better than some boys, they decided to let her get in to the game, and she scored a goal. In the end the girl hooked up with her brothers’ teammate that she loved, and her brother falls in love with the beautiful girl.
Reaction :
I like this movie, because of how the girl challenged the boys, and proofed that there isn’t any difference between boys and girls; the girls can even be better than the boys. I feel when I watch this movie that there are a lot of things in common between me and that girl, we don’t surrender.
