"She's the Man": Shakespeare gets his latest teen treatment with this ho-hum comedy starring Amanda



"She's the Man": Shakespeare gets his latest teen treatment with this ho-hum comedy starring Amanda Bynes as a girl aiming to run with the big boys. In this variation on the cross-dressing comedy "Twelfth Night," Bynes plays a teen who masquerades as her twin brother and joins the school soccer team, complicating her life when she also falls for the squad's star player (Channing Tatum). The DVD has nine deleted scenes with commentary from Bynes and others, plus three making-of featurettes and a music video. Bynes, Tatum and other cast members join director Andy Finkman for commentary, while the DVD features a second commentary track with the movie's producers. DVD, $29.99. (DreamWorks)
"ATL": Another rapper takes to the big screen. Singer Tip "T.I." Harris makes his film debut as an Atlanta teenager who hangs with his buddies, trying to sort out their futures after high school while enjoying Sunday nights at a glitzy roller-skating rink. If the movie seems like one long music video, that could be because director Chris Robinson makes his feature-film debut after a career in -- what else? -- music videos. The DVD includes the T.I. music video "What You Know," which Robinson directed. Director and star also are featured in a behind-the-scenes segment examining the music world of Atlanta. The DVD also has deleted scenes. DVD, $28.98. (Warner Bros.)

Robinson is featured in two titles, "Bullets or Ballots" and "A Slight Case of Murder," while "San Quentin" stars Pat O'Brien, with Humphrey Bogart in a supporting role.

"Some Like It Hot": One of Hollywood's most beloved gender-bending comedies gets a makeover with a new two-disc edition. Billy Wilder's 1959 classic stars Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in the story of two musicians who witness the St. Valentine's Day massacre and hide out from the gangsters by disguising themselves as women in an all-female jazz band. The set has two new documentaries examining how the movie was made and the legacy it left, along with featurettes on Curtis' recollections and on the all-girl band. The movie is accompanied by commentary that incorporates interview segments with Lemmon, Curtis and others. DVD set, $24.96. (Sony)

DVD, $29.99. (Miramax)
