* {{Cult Classic}}: Fans love the movie for its modern retelling of a Shakespeare play, and the fact that Creator/AmandaBynes is the star just adds another reason as to why so many are devoted to the movie.

* LGBTFanbase: Just like the [[Theatre/TwelfthNight play that inspired it]], this movie holds a special place for many queer audiences, due to all the blurred gender lines, HomoeroticSubtext, and bunking of traditional gender roles.

* HarsherInHindsight: Creator/AmandaBynes being in the lead role as a SweetPollyOliver becomes a whole lot less entertaining when it came to light that she was constantly criticized by executives behind the scenes for her appearance growing up, with this movie where she plays someone passing off as a boy largely being speculated as being one of the catalysts of her CreatorBreakdown later on down the line.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: When Viola's gender is revealed before the winning championship game, Duke stops talking to her. Is it because he felt that she lied about some things while under the guise of Sebastian to him? Or is because he was [[{{Gayngst}} conflicted]] about still having feelings for her -- only while she was under the guise of [[IfItsYouItsOkay Sebastian]]?

* FanPreferredCouple: Most fanfiction about this film on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn has Viola and Olivia ending up together rather than with their respective love interests, Duke and Sebastian. This is mostly due to flirting and build-up occuring between them rather than between Olivia and Sebastian. It also stems from fans feeling that Viola and Olivia have more chemistry than Duke and Viola.

* FridgeBrilliance: Throughout the film, Viola was consistently looked down and denied opportunity to play soccer, simply because she was a girl. But at the end, when Duke lifted her up, she became "higher" than those who put her down.
* FridgeLogic: Viola can kick a ball through a life buoy from a respectable distance, and is said to be better than half the guys (admittedly by her boyfriend while flirting). Yet she doesn't make the Illyria team initially. This would ordinarily imply that the Illyria is much better than the Corwall team, but in the final match, they are almost equal.
** I think her disguise was giving her issues.
** When Viola confesses, she takes of her sideburns, eyebrows and wig. She now looks like she did at the kissing booth. She also just recovered her skills being temporarily terrible. Yet Duke thinks she may still be male. So she has to flash.
