The best way I can describe this is as a really (really) cheap Freaky Friday with 2 high school neighbours instead of a mother and daughter. It’s never a good sign when Sharon Osbourne is the biggest name you can get!

The credits are quite cute and by far the classiest part of this film. Be warned – it goes downhill almost immediately with that god awful Mystical (?) tune. In a strange twist to the first pan gender film of this nature I’ve seen the characters don’t immediately masturbate, which, let’s be honest, is the first thing you would do if magically transferred into the other sexes body.

One must assume this film was casted by the same deaf, dumb and blind idiots who cast 17 Again as the boy is probably the most effeminate man they could find (I’m not joking, he even sounds like a 12 year old girl, before the body swap). But in true “Zac Efron is not Matthew Perry” style the man who played the 18 year old Horse was in his early 30s when this was made. Samaire Armstrong who played the ‘girl’ was also much older than her character (approx. 26). It’s fair to say the scenes where you can clearly see age lines on their faces really spoilt the realism for me (sarc).

Minor issues with this movie include the fact that even though the neighbours hate each other they sit next to each other in computer class in the only school in the world that doesn’t have parental locks on their computers to stop kids accessing porn!

Finally this scene and the fact that her hair goes from splashed by a puddle to backcombed Robert Smith from The Cure in the remainder of her journey to school (which she apparently walked and arrived before the boys who drove). And why is she not getting away from the water???
