Soccer team star Viola Hastings (Amanda Bynes) goes ballistic when her high school cuts the girls' program. When her boyfriend Justin (Robert Hoffman) doesn't support her desire to join the boys' team, she's got to dump him and figure out how to continue playing. Everyone says she looks like her twin brother Sebastian (he's way taller but whatever). He goes to London with his band and Viola decides to enroll as her bro in his new prep school so she can try out for their boys' team.

Viola has to learn all things "guy", walking, talking, dressing and chick bashing. Duke (Channing Tatum of "Coach Carter") is assigned as "Sebastian's" roomie and his hottie status makes it hard for Viola to keep up her guy act. Of course Duke is in love with Olivia (Laura Ramsey) who actually is attracted to Viola (as Sebastian of course) because she likes sensitive guys.
Meanwhile, Sebastian's ex-girlfriend Monique (Alex Breckenridge) is trying to hook up with Sebastian to chew him out and Viola has to avoid her lest she blow her cover! Viola's mom wants her to get all girlie for a debutant ball and has no idea her daughter is now pretending to be.. her son!
