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
