Plot hole: Viola convinces her mother she is staying at her father's house for two weeks, but who covers for Viola with school administrators? As far as we see in the movie, Viola is not reported absent from either Cornwall or Illyria (a transfer would explain not being reported absent from Cornwall). Administrators or class mates at Cornwall would find it strange that she stopped showing up, since soccer training had already started. It is unlikely Viola officially transferred to Illyria, since her parents would have to sign off on that, or at least start paying her tuition to a different school. Viola could have called in sick to either Cornwall or Illyria, but this is never addressed in the movie. And if the soccer program at either school started before the official school year, it would make no sense for them to have a biology class with students not enrolled in athletic programs at Illyria.
She's the Man (2006)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Andy Fickman
Starring: Channing Tatum, Vinnie Jones, Amanda Bynes, Laura Ramsey
Continuity mistake: When Sebastian (really Viola) is trying to impress the guys at Cesario's, she uses her friends as the plan. When her second friend, Yvonne, comes over and starts to walk towards Sebastian (Viola),right before she hugs him, she is really close, but when she actually hugs him she is further back then before.
Trivia: During the dream sequence when Viola is in the dress, Amanda Bynes actually tripped while filming. The directors thought it was funny so they kept it in there.
