[edit] Plot Plaigarism

This article's information is taken verbadum from the movie's official site. I mean they just took the plot synopsis and copied and pasted. This seems more like a piece of advertising than an encyclopedia article.

Do you really think this movie even deserves an ancyclopedia article? It looks awful and will probably be on DVD in two months.
Every theatrically-released deserves an article; Wikipedia is not paper so there's no risk of running out of space. The movie was pretty sub-par, but considerably worse works of media have articles such as Waterworld, American Idol, Gigli, and Donnie Darko (yeah, I went there). And yes it probably will be on DVD within a few months and I will buy it just for the Amanda Bynes swimsuit scene in the first five minues unless I can find a place to download that scene first. 4.89.240.192 13:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


I removed the majority of text of this article, for the reason listed above, it was taken directly from the movie's official site. --Xyzzyplugh 05:34, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just One of the Guys

Perhaps some mention of Just One of the Guys, a movie it resembles significantly, as both are Twelth Night set in a modern school. - Matthew238 07:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that's a good idea, however there's already been an edit war about that subject, on this page. See here. AndyJones 09:22, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some are born great...

"The line "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them," which was spoken by the character of Duke Orsino in the film, is a direct quote taken from Act II Scene V of Twelfth Night."

Wrong character. It was Malvolio, if whoever wrote this was familiar with the play at all. I'll fix it.

No, I think you've missed the point, although unfortunately I can't check this, having not seen the film. There is a "Duke Orsino" in the film, and I think the editor must have meant that that character says those lines in the film. I agree that in the play Malvolio says these lines, in the box-tree scene and again to Olivia. I'll change that back, but I'd be grateful if someone would look this over. AndyJones 12:13, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Yep, my mistake. Sorry. Apology Monster 01:57, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Just a little clarification. Malvolio speaks the lines, but he didnt come up with them himself; they are actaully Maria's words.

[edit] Tobias

Holy ****... I'm watching this movie, and I'm at the part where she/he meets the headmaster, and who is he, but David Cross(Tobias Fünke)! Tinlv7 01:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC) (use my talk page)

[edit] Continuity Error

I deleted the error which incorrectly stated that Viola and Sebastian's mother called Viola's cell phone (following the tarantula scene) to leave a message for Sebastian. The phone wasn't the cell phone, but the dorm room's landline, which is why the message was heard on the dorm's answering machine. --NCC-1701 (USS Enterprise) 00:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul

In the plot summary, it says that Paul got with Duke's friend Andrew at the end. Is this true?
