Rubbish Story Line
Review date: 2008-11-19 Rating: 2 out of 10

I'm sorry, but this movie was a total WASTE of money. The movie never lead anywhere, and if it was, it was so predictable! Also, I have to say that it was very unrealistic....don't get me wrong, I love a good teen/pre-teen film every now and again, but this was just a failure in everyway. I wish they had a better wardrobe stylist as well - all the outfits seemed a bit dull, or like someone too old had picked them out...pre-teen films, like this should have been, should be bright and colourful with good catchy music - the music really did not seem right, in the way they used it either. The only reason I watched it all the way through, was because I hate wasting money....thought I might as well watch it as I paid for it...I was falling asleep in it.

The only thing I liked in this film, was Sharon Osbourne, because she is just amazing...she did crack me up a bit.... ;)

I didn't rent it but... it made me laugh.

"It's is a boy girl thing" isn't the kind of movie I'd normally rent. In fact, I didn't rent it, but when I found it in my house, I gave in to temptation and watched it. I must confess it made me laugh.

This film is very predictable, but quite funny, despite the fact that the humor is rather crude sometimes... The two main characters are Nell (Samaire Armstrong), a bright and somewhat nerdy young woman, and Woody (Kevin Zegers), a football player that has the popularity that Nell lacks, but isn't very accustomed to using his brain. Even though these typical albeit very different teenagers can't stand each other, they will have to reach a compromise, due to an spell that ends up switching their bodies. Confusion ensues, as you can imagine...

All in all, I think that those that are expecting the classic high school comedy will like it, if their expectations are just to have some fun... If that is your case, recommended.


fresh take on body switch

I am from the U.S. and just recently saw it and loved it.The storyline was very believable and funny. The actors pulled the switch off well!

could watch it over and over again

this film is so easy and enjoyable to watch! apart from the unrealistic concept for the film it was brilliant! the idea is unrealistic however it makes a great movie and is aas believeable as it could be. i found the acting brilliant and there are many hilarious lines, actions and manorisms made by the two leads which make it very enjoyable to watch. the actors fit prefectly into the rolse as if they really have body-swapped!

This film is better than you would think

This film got panned when it was released, but undeservedly. It has real charm. And the likeable two main actors give convincing performances in their switched personas. The concept of bodyswapping is not new (remember Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan, for example) but this boy-girl bodyswap feels new, and successfully milks the contrast in teenage aspirations, urges, hopes and worries across the sexes; in the process it generates a lot of laughs and, of course, a little pathos. Kevin Zegers does well enough, but Samaire Armstrong has - maybe a surprise to you as well as me - genuine acting ability, and the scene on the veranda with her father towards the end of the film is a study in looks and nuances. I think this film counts amongst of the best of the teen-based genre
