This film using the body swap trope had a lot of opportunities to succeed and I really wanted it to. But, we don't always get what we want. Kevin Zegers is cute enough to pull this off and the romance aspects of this work to some degree but the parentals are cringe-worthy, the gay character is used for comedy only in the most juvenile fashion I've seen in a long time. Definitely a Vito Russo test Failure. Even the boner jokes won't get a rise out of most people. They say that beauty is only skin deep, but if that's tha case, then this movie is only for the really thin skinned folks. It's not torture, but it's not very entertaining either. Just One of the Guys (1985) did the themes more justice 20 years earlier.

(2006)
Kind of a fail - It's not torture, but it's not very entertaining either.
