Review of It's a Boy Girl Thing (2006) by Michael G — 07 Nov 2012
It is a straightforward switch-places movie with nothing special about it, but it is simple and enjoyable. The movie has no star power and the acting is average, but there is enough there to make the characters have some charm.
The movie may be lacking in originality and acting but it makes up for its shortcomings with simplicity and enough feel-good moments to make you smile. It is more of a story of two people at opposite ends of the high school social structure switching places, rather than the male female switch, seems like a waste.
Body swaps provide lots of good opportunities for comedy and interesting juxtapositions, but this one settled for the obvious newly gained perspectives and did not push for laughs or more insightful thoughts.
Younger teens, or tweens, may get full enjoyment out of it, but other audiences may want more.
