And yet, nearly two decades later, it is untouchable. Here is why She’s the Man is the most underrated sports rom-com of the 21st century. Before we talk about plot, we have to talk about Duke. Or rather, Viola disguised as Sebastian. Amanda Bynes commits to the bit with the intensity of a method actor preparing for The Revenant .

Let’s be honest: 2006 was a strange time for teen movies. The golden age of Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You was over, and the era of the glossy High School Musical hangover was just beginning. Then, like a perfectly placed header into the top corner, She’s the Man arrived.

When Viola finally reveals she is a girl, Duke’s reaction is: "Oh, thank God. I'm not gay."
