Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Kuusafiiri I know I should say that this was the worst movie ever.However I was surprised I actually liked the movie. Not as good as She's the man, but pretty enjoyable. After a visit to museum, enemies find themselves in each other bodies. Girl in boy's, and boy in girl's. What what follows is struggles with every day life and of course prom.The plot was interesting and of course there is a "hidden" message that you should try to understand people before judging. The acting wasn't the best there is, but I've seen much worse. There were actually moments, when the main actors did their job well.Of course, when enemies first, you know what they will be at the end. But for some odd reason even that didn't bother me. I was prepared to hate and despise this movie, but to my surprise it was funny and entertaining. Not sure I would watch it again, but for one time thing it was okay and didn't feel waste of time.

nightfury37 The story is very predictable. The characters don't create strong impact. The friends character were not given enough strength. The fight, which every romantic comedy has just before the happy ending, is not sharp. The hero doesn't look like a soccer player like the way Zack looked in 17 Again. Heroine is cute, especially as the guy. The movie doesn't have much impact story-wise. In a way this is good, to kill time, with nothing to think about.I enjoyed the light pace of the movie with occasional chuckles and feel good at the end.It deserves a little recommendation, for the way it warms the heart.

rgcustomer This is your typical mind-swap movie, wherein two characters wake up to find themselves in each other's bodies.Then there's a small amount of American-Pie-style humor, as the two characters are of opposite sexes so they get to explore their new genitals.Near the end, the two characters are falling for each other, and it looks as if the film will finally turn a corner and present something new, but instead the characters inexplicably return back to their original bodies without even having to go to sleep, ending their obvious enjoyment they were getting out of their unexpectedly new futures.But of course, as Ghost proved a generation ago, the tender sensibilities of the US can't have minds in opposite-sex bodies, because that's too transgressive.While I'm disappointed that Elton John was associated with this homophobic project that actually includes the line "that's so gay", I'm not surprised. He's become quite the Gay Uncle Tom in his later years. Had I known he was involved, I would have avoided this film.For the Kinky Boots writer Geoff Deane to be involved in this is frankly baffling. This film is the anti-Kinky-Boots. And that's why I'm turning that 9 upside down and giving it the 6 it deserves, entirely based on Kevin's cuteness, which is about all this thing has going for it.

thesar-2 It's not a new concept, by far. It's definitively not 'Freaky Friday' and especially not 'All of Me.' But, surprisingly, 'It's a Boy/Girl Thing' wasn't terrible. Sure, predictable as all hell, clichés abound and homophobia very much present (I'm shocked one of the producers was Elton John , which is like George W. Bush helping write a Michael Moore film) and still the cast, namely the "boy" and "girl," did as best of the job they could and did so enthusiastically. Unfortunately, you'll have to suspend your disbelief beyond the soul/swapping main plot, such as how quickly they learn each other's functions, like walking in heels. (And that's not something someone could learn in a few seconds as portrayed, especially for the "jock" as he's referred.) Strange, they kept going back and forth on if they want to be kid-friendly afterschool special (locker-room/slumber party cover ups) then to hard/sexual references and flashes of nudity, a la 'American Pie' raunchiness. 'It's a Boy/Girl Thing' starts with the obvious love/hate relationship between the jock and the smart girl, followed by the soul-swapping (no need to explain how, it seriously could've just as easily been they bumped their heads,) and after the inevitable jokes/revenge segment – seen from a mile away – they "learn" how to walk in each other's shoes and help each other out. I did like the clearing of the stadium in the climax, showing their POV, but not enough to save the film. It wasn't great, the secondary characters were boring, clichéd and an annoyance, and had a credit scene that was embarrassing to watch, yet, if you have 90+ minutes to fill, watch 'All of Me,' 'Tootsie,' any 'Freaky Friday' film. Then if you're still up, you can view this.
