FFW: Just Add Water/Twelfth Night

What is the same about TwN and just add water?

There are a significant number of similarities between the play Twelfth Night and the film just add water. Just one of the many is the similarity between Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, and the citizens of Trona. Orsino wants to be with Olivia, but he's too lazy to try to get her himself. In comparison, the citizens left in Trona are just as lazy about leaving the town. They just wait for rain after it hasn't rained for years. Also, I think Olivia finding out that Viola's not a man is very comparable to Ray finding out that Jonah Hill is not his son. In conclusion, both the film and the play lack a sense of normality, which is the main similarity between the two. In Twelfth Night, you have a woman pretending to be a man that ends up falling in love with a man who's in love with another woman who's in love with the woman that's pretending to be a man. In just add water, you have a town where it hasn't rained in years, where people are just about crazy, where people don't attempt to better their lives, where men hire prostitutes to take an 18-year old's virginity. Bottom line, they're just not normal. They're actually really weird. And there's much more between the two that are similar than one might first think.
