Nell Bedworth (Samaire Armstrong) is a brainy virgin girlie girl. Her dumb jock neighbor Woody Deane (Kevin Zegers) has fun picking on the nerd and she hates him. Woody has shallow cheerleader girlfriend Breanna (Brooke D'Orsay). Woody and Nell are on a field trip to the museum. As they argue in front of a statue of the Aztec god Tezcatlipoca, a spell is cast on both of them. The next day, they wake up in each other's body. Things go downhill as each try to one up the other in destroying the other's reputation.This is more sexual than the Disney body switch movies. As a rom-com, it works sometimes. At other times, the movie fails to navigate the fact that he's in a girl's body and she's in a boy's body. For example, Woody in Nell's body would never go off to that guy's trailer. He would pretend to go and then lie about it afterward. The whole trailer scene is a ridiculous attempt at some slapstick that fails. The movie works half of the time. The other half is a bit awkward. Both actors do the switch well and this kinda works.

6.4? What the heck? Seriously? It is so much better than that.It is everything a romantic-comedy should be, it's romantic and funny. All the characters are just likable. This is certainly one of my most favorite chick flicks ever. It is just awesome and very entertaining. Loved the ending. I don't get why a lot of people are hating. And all those comments about the lack of originality since the concept has already been done before. Oh come on. So what? They somehow made it their own. It is not as similar as those with switching bodies movies that i've seen before. It's a great film all in all and that's all that matters.

Warning spoilers!OK so we see the opening credits with two stick figures (one male one female) fighting. From child hood to teenage hood? Anyways this seems like an important part of the movie. Does this mean that the two main characters grew up together? Well this is where the messiness begins in this movie. Nothing is explained or clarified.So then we learn that the girl is a smarty pants and the guy is basically an idiot that is only interested in sports. We don't get much explanation as to why they hate each other. Does not seem like they disagree much. They both want a future. I mean everyone can't be a writer, or a football player, we NEED variety. Again, going with the theme of making no sense it's NEVER explained why they hate each other. We are just told they do, so they do. That's it.The mess continues...the rest of the movie is your basic body switching movie. Some ancient relic (once again not explained to go with the movie's theme of messiness) switches their bodies. And they don't switch back until they learned their 'lesson'. Which is ONCE AGAIN NOT EXPLAINED. Ugh, this movie is really stupid.At the end of the movie they 'realize' that they are in love with each other, what? Why? Oh yes, this is not explained either. Mutual understanding = love? Umm, is that not just called common sense? Like some person loves cooking, so they want to be a chef. Does that mean ALL the people who know this SIMPLE FACT are IN LOVE with this person!? LolOh dear, I'm not even going to get into the sexist stereotypes this move makes in depth. But basically here goes; all men like sports, there are only two types of women $1ut$ and uptight girls, women are put on this earth to only please men, and should be ashamed of themselves if they have any desires of ANY kind. Wow.... I'm not even scratching the surface, believe me.But the actors are good in this. Too bad they were not given ANY good material to work with. This movie delivers eye-candy and that's it. You will get no coherent plot.

Before I watch this film, I was interested in its title. And when I already watched this film, I think it is interesting to me. In this film, the main characters' interaction attracted me to continue it. I think the most interesting part is the main characters changed their body and tried to figure out how they can change back. In the process they got along with each other, they gradually found that each other had some merits which they never found before. After I watch this film, I will dream that if I have a chance that change body with someone who I dislike before, maybe I will change my opinion that I thought before. When they changed their body with each other, they may have a new life that totally different from the past they used to. If I woke up and found that I am in a boy's body, I think I will be panic-stricken. In the process they in each other's body, they also gradually fall in love, too. The ending of this film is that each other to get the ideal university and fall in love. The happy ending of this film is also touching and makes me want to watch it again. It's a comedy and a romance film that I love so much. Although it has been replay on the TV many times, I have time when it is replay, I will watch it again. It's a good movie worth you to watch.
