 I didn't rent it but... it made me laugh. August 27, 2008

"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 July 8, 2008
S. Thurman
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 June 20, 2008

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 May 1, 2008

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
much cleverer than expected April 26, 2008
K. P. Curtis (Bath, UK)
It's fairly run-of-the-mill plot-wise, but the performances and the direction make this a cut above the average body-swap comedy. Well worth a watch.
