Review of It's a Boy Girl Thing (2006) by Akshatha J — 26 Jul 2009

A hilarious movie!!!!! Woody, a cool guy who doesn't care about studies and thrives on the fun side of life , and Nell , a studious sincere girl (nerd) aspiring for Yale, who are next door neighbours are exactly the opposite to each other due to which every meeting between them is a fight. One day while on a science trip they fell out infront of some ancient statue. The next morning to their horror they find that their souls are switched. Facing some of the obvious and awkward yet hilarious situations they try to figure things out and get on with life , searching for a way to mend the situation.. Even with souls switched they cant rest in peace and star getting each other into trouble. Woody ( with Nell's soul) breaks up with her girlfriend while Nell (with Woody's soul) dresses up in lurid clothes attracting all the boys for vendetta. Among all the confusion, they slowly start liking each other with Nell( with Woody's soul) teaching Woody ( with Nell's soul) how to play football for the big upcoming game. Eventually Woody ( with Nell's soul) wins the game for their team and Nell( with Woody's soul) gets into Yale university . At the end after some common prom drama they get together and start going out.

An interesting story that could have done with a little more realism . Though the performances were good sometimes the girl didnt act like a boy and vice versa. Overall a fun film to watch. And by the way both Kevin Zegers and Samarie Armstrong were looking fabulous.
