Product Description
Comedy in which two teenagers with nothing in common are brought together in a very unexpected way. Woody (Kevin Zegers) and Nell (Samaire Armstrong) have been next door neighbours since childhood, but couldn't be any different. He's a jock, she's a nerd, she's graduating to Yale, he's going to a second rate college on a football scholarship. Nell and Woody are not at all friendly and normally have nothing to say to one another, but one day during a class field trip to a historical museum, the two fall under the spell of an Incan icon and when they awake the next morning, Woody's mind is in Nell's body, and vice versa. Neither is comfortable with their sudden gender switch or having to assume the other's personalities, but they quickly realise that until they can find a way to reverse the spell, they have to work together.

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

This movie doesn't deserve a bad review. Other than the body swapping, this movie is very different from Freaky Friday, and the acting was very good.
Watching this you'll have plenty of laughs, believe me, and of course we all know that the characters will fall in love, but that's what we want and expect from a romantic comedy. You'll want to watch this movie again soon after it finishes. I did.

Too much like a teenage movie
I didn't feel there was anything special here. It was better than some crappy teenagemovies, but still boring. And I found the girl/woman actress very annoying. Read more

Typically funny!
I'm very into the supernatural and this movie is very appealing to those who also do, it's funny because both characters are so different but in the end, they are made for each... Read more
