I'm a sucker for a good body swap story but this has some heart and subtext underneath all of the cliches and the wacky comedy Shenanigans

Classica commedia romantica adolescenziale, ma sorprendentemente piacevole. Il classico cliché dello scambio dei corpi è usato in modo intelligente, senza abusarne. La volgarità è presente ma mai eccessiva e l'alchimia tra i protagonisti è veramente buona. Film consigliato se ci si vuole disintossicare dalle commedie romantiche mediocri.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Rapidly ran through the story to hit major plot points that had no background.

Fun, high school movie with a surprisingly emotionally ending. I have to admit first that I am a fan of this genre, although when I went in I was expecting something pretty run-of-the-mill. However, this is no teen B-movie but is actually a really funny premise and has a story with a surprising amount of emotional depth. I'm surprised no-one has made a movie about this before, but they haven't. It seems quite an obvious premise. A boy and girl who despise each other, end up swapping bodies and are thus forced to deal with each other's lives. It's like Freaky Friday but with a bit more edge and all the adolescent teen stuff which is what keeps it fresh. Whilst this stuff is funny it is the love story that really gets you and I was amazed to find myself getting emotionally drawn into the characters. Not often I say that about an American teen movie. Only negative is Sharon Osbourne who kind of pulls you out of the movie a bit, but other than a satisfying movie experience and a really pleasant surprise.

Raunchy teen comedy looks at gender roles; lots of cursing.

All this movie needs is a choreographed dance number to complete the circle.

There's little doubt that Boy Girl Thing was assembled by someone who was obviously blindfolded and possibly drugged.

Strangely enough, it isn't the lack of originality in this body switch comedy that irritated me most, it is that I didn't believe any of it.
