It's a Boy Girl Thing I went to see the movie because it is a new movie, it is a college romance and it has been long since I saw one. I knew it was not a seriously romantic but that is okay. I expected nothing special from this movie, something light, and I think it was delivered.
The story is about a boy and girl who are also neighbors and study in the same school, same class and hates each other. Things start changing when the boy and girl switch bodies (by a visit to a museum in front of an ancient statue). They still continue dis-liking each other, but adjust to the fact of living like that; till they find a certain likeness and compatibility that ends up in love.
As you noticed the movie has a very noticeable known storyline. There are quite a few funny moments in the movie. There are at least three small scenes that distract the main story line. The amusing parts were the most when the boy and girl explore the sexual side of other body. There are also good romantic moments (in the later half of the movie) that adolescents would like to see.
The lead pair Samaire Armstrong and Kevin Zegers are both TV stars and last year (2006) has been quite eventful in their career as both got good breaks in movies. This is the first and second movie in lead roles for Kevin and Samaire respectively. Samaire is a bit over-expressive but suits well the role when she plays the boy part. Kevin is good a typical American youth. Nick Hurran (the Director) is also comes from television background.
If you are not a teenager, just pretend to be one while watching the movie and chances are you will the like the movie as I did.
