It's a Boy Girl Thing

Nobody wins, least of all the viewer.

Film Review by Megan Garriock | 12 Dec 2006
Film title: It's a Boy Girl Thing
Director: Nick Hurran
Starring: Kevin Zegers, Samaire Armstrong, Emily Hampshire, Sharon Osbourne
Release date: 29 Dec.
Certificate: 15
Teenage girl Nell (Samaire Armstrong), and her sworn nemesis Woody (Kevin Zegers) wake one morning to find that, magically, they have switched bodies. They soon realize that they will need to help each other and learn to be friends in order to reverse the spell, lain by an Aztec statue no less. Together, they must master university entrance tests, American football playoffs and, most importantly of all, the high school prom. It's a Boy Girl Thing attempts to capture the playfulness of Freaky Friday and combine it with the freshness of American Pie but, sadly, in this battle of the sexes nobody wins, least of all the viewer. And you know a film is in trouble when Sharon Osbourne has the funniest line. [Megan Garriock]
