It's a Boy Girl Thing (2008)

Memorable, crazy movie

hyped garbage

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I know I should say that this was the worst movie ever.However I was surprised I actually liked the movie. Not as good as She's the man, but pretty enjoyable. After a visit to museum, enemies find themselves in each other bodies. Girl in boy's, and boy in girl's. What what follows is struggles with every day life and of course prom.The plot was interesting and of course there is a "hidden" message that you should try to understand people before judging. The acting wasn't the best there is, but I've seen much worse. There were actually moments, when the main actors did their job well.Of course, when enemies first, you know what they will be at the end. But for some odd reason even that didn't bother me. I was prepared to hate and despise this movie, but to my surprise it was funny and entertaining. Not sure I would watch it again, but for one time thing it was okay and didn't feel waste of time.

Warning spoilers!OK so we see the opening credits with two stick figures (one male one female) fighting. From child hood to teenage hood? Anyways this seems like an important part of the movie. Does this mean that the two main characters grew up together? Well this is where the messiness begins in this movie. Nothing is explained or clarified.So then we learn that the girl is a smarty pants and the guy is basically an idiot that is only interested in sports. We don't get much explanation as to why they hate each other. Does not seem like they disagree much. They both want a future. I mean everyone can't be a writer, or a football player, we NEED variety. Again, going with the theme of making no sense it's NEVER explained why they hate each other. We are just told they do, so they do. That's it.The mess continues...the rest of the movie is your basic body switching movie. Some ancient relic (once again not explained to go with the movie's theme of messiness) switches their bodies. And they don't switch back until they learned their 'lesson'. Which is ONCE AGAIN NOT EXPLAINED. Ugh, this movie is really stupid.At the end of the movie they 'realize' that they are in love with each other, what? Why? Oh yes, this is not explained either. Mutual understanding = love? Umm, is that not just called common sense? Like some person loves cooking, so they want to be a chef. Does that mean ALL the people who know this SIMPLE FACT are IN LOVE with this person!? LolOh dear, I'm not even going to get into the sexist stereotypes this move makes in depth. But basically here goes; all men like sports, there are only two types of women $1ut$ and uptight girls, women are put on this earth to only please men, and should be ashamed of themselves if they have any desires of ANY kind. Wow.... I'm not even scratching the surface, believe me.But the actors are good in this. Too bad they were not given ANY good material to work with. This movie delivers eye-candy and that's it. You will get no coherent plot.

It seems everywhere you look nowadays there's a "feel good body swap comedy" creeping out of the woodwork, and this one is no exception.It's the age old story, Boy meets Girl, Girl and Boy hate each other, Boy and Girl switch bodies thanks to some mystical mumbo jumbo the writers can't be bothered to explain, and then Girl and Boy fall hopelessly in love while figuring out their "Hilarious" predicament.Actually, this light hearted tale isn't too bad. and the gorgeous but under rated Samaire Armstrong is easy on the eyes, while the sound track is a delight to the ears. But sadly the story is crammed full of under developed background characters who never really get a chance to tell their side of things.Needless to say, just like every other movie of this kind, everything is neatly resolved at the end to everyone's relief, But it's a sweet addition to the genre none the less.

however, it ended up being a really good movie! i was totally surprised, all of the girls dropped their conversations & stopped texting and really got into it & were laughing along the whole time.it is mature enough for teenagers, even though it came off as a lame preteen movie at first glance.the plot was sort of skimming the surface with the bare minimums-not much to it, but the little laughs throughout it were worth the while. also, the soundtrack sounds good enough to buy - actually i think i will. =]:whit
