DVD Release Date: September 7, 2007
Plot 411: A boy and a girl switch bodies in a Freaky Friday-ish teen rom com.
Review: Oddly enough, I'm not surprised that I thoroughly enjoyed this simple film. It's got everything I like in a good rom com. There are frustrating moments and tender ones between the lead characters. There's misunderstanding, hurt feelings and reconciliation. There's a bitchy chick and a goodie two shoes. There's a jock and a geek. Many of the main plot points have been done in other shows and probably done better. Still, this movie hits the right beats and results in a cute, not-to-complicated teen comedy. Nell (Samaire Armstrong) and Woody (Kevin Zegers) are neighbors who couldn't be more different. Nell is from an upper-middle class family where education and getting into Yale is the most important thing in the world. Woody's family isn't as well off and he must rely on his sports prowess for success. Their two worlds collide when a spell is cast by a statue, and they must literally walk in each other's shoes. Sharon Osbourne stars as Woody's mom.
