It's a Boy Girl Thing review

Posted : 14 years, 3 months ago on 14 February 2011 09:15

Yes it's formulaic but it does add some fresh ideas into the body switching genre and it is so much better than half of the movies within this genre. Though I didn't exactly buy the whole statue magic thing, actors Samaire Armstrong and Kevin Zegers do a fantastic job at playing one another and I loved the whole idea of them trying to teach each other on how to use each other's bodies. The supporting cast did a nice job too especially Sharon Osbourne even though she was really only in three scenes, I wish they would have added more scenes with her but this is a very enjoyable teen movie and it's a huge step up from most movies in the body switching genre. Other than the story being formulaic and predictable the rest of the movie is very enjoyable.

A very average movie

Obviously, I had some very low expectations before watching this movie and, if I recall it correctly, I ended up watching it with my step-daughter. Anyway, the whole thing turned out to be a very average flick. The main issue I had while watching this was how generic the whole thing was. I mean, seriously, this story has been done already 1000 times before and, in my opinion, they didn't add anything new to this old formula. Concerning the leads, Samaire Armstrong and Kevin Zegers, you might wonder how they ended up playing the main characters since neither of them really managed to become a major player, especially Samaire Armstrong. I don’t know, I have noticed that some viewers praised their performances and even though I have to admit that they had some pretty good chemistry, I can’t say that they really blew me away though. Basically, it was always obvious that the guy was actually pretending to be a girl and vice versa, you never actually really got the feeling that they had actually swapped bodies. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was pretty weak but I have to admit that it might be actually enjoyable for its target audience but I would definitely not recommend it anyway.
