Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

Michael Ledo This is another mind/body swap film. This one involves high school sophomore students of the opposite sex. The cell phones are the device that magically causes the swap. Jack Malloy (Jacob Bertrand) is attempting to make the varsity hockey team. He is a borderline player under a lot of pressure. Ellie O'Brian (Peyton List) is in a dance group filled with young girls with Miley Cyrus ears (Disney really needs to diversify.) She is having issues with the new girl taking her spot with her BFF. After the swap, they see how tough the opposite sex has life while attempting to make their lives better.This has the Disney happy ending. The film avoided the teen curiosity one would expect from such a swap, making it safe for the whole family. A fun film with some teen drama.

Paul Magne Haakonsen What did "The Swap" bring to the table that other movies in the same category didn't already bring before it? Nothing much. Well, aside from it being a newer movie and appealing to the young audience of today. But aside from that, then "The Swap" really didn't offer that much.Storywise, well it can be summarized very easily: Ellie and Jack make a wish to switch lives, and fate happens to cash in on that wish.There, easily done. Yeah, there is little more to the story actually. Well, except for scenes where the guy has to perform gymnastics and pretend to be a girl, and vice versa with the girl having to play ice hockey and pretend to be a boy. But wait, didn't we already seen scenes like this in, say, "Freaky Friday"? To name a single classic of the role swapping genre."The Swap" is definitely a movie aimed at a younger audience, and I did feel quite out of the target audience. I just had a hard time fully committing to the movie and get into it. Perhaps because I already knew exactly what would happen and how the movie would end? Yeah, it was that predictable. And if you have seen one movie in this particular role swapping genre, then you have already seen "The Swap".It should be said that the cast in the movie were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters. And the two lead talents, Peyton List and Jacob Bertrand, did carry the movie quite nicely. However, in my opinion, then it was James Godfrey (playing Porter Gibbs) who was the most memorable in the movie, given his odd and quirky character.I am sure that this movie will be quite funny and appealing to a younger audience of this day and age. But for us mature people, this was sort of a swing and a miss. As such, I am rating this a five out of ten stars. Yeah, I found it to be a mediocre movie, because it had all been seen before.

FanOfDC The average viewer probably would have expected full-on comedy with a meaningless lesson at the end. It ended up being about coping with the death of a parent and dealing with divorce.. What? A lot of times I forgot they had switched bodies because I was so emotionally invested in the characters' stories. I loved the fact that the leads were not love interests. Too many DCOMs ignore that platonic relationships exist (Teen Beach Movie, Cloud 9, just to name a few). Cons: one too many music montages, having them learn a new sport overnight, some funky dialogue between the teens--no one talks like that.

lencyt I love this movie!I've was so disappointed with Disney with Best Friends Whenever.But this I give this movie an A plus!For comedy and life lessons.You can watch it with the whole family because it is okay for teens.Watch this It has all your favorite Disney show stars!And even a Netflix star from the series some assembly required.It has Peyton List form very popular Disney series Jessie and Bunk'd and even 2 Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies!And Jacob Bertrad from popular Disney XD series,Kirby Buckets.And Koltan Stewart from Some Assembly Required.So if you are a fans of any of those shows or actors,You need to watch this movie.It even has a little bit of a romantic scene at the end! n e e d t o w a t c h
