Surprisingly, more than I expected. I had a little bit of fun with this movie, trying to place people in other movies that I'd seen before. And two main characters (or semi-main characters for one of them) were both in zombie movies, and I'm a big zombie buff. Trust me on this. It's fun.

And that's just it, it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not great, but it's not trying to be. The main characters switch bodies and get into hijinx afterwards (just like Freaky Friday, Vice Versa, Freaky Friday, The Hot Chick, umm, about a billion other movies probably). I love Vice Versa because I love Judge Reinhold, I love Fred Savage, and I love crappy 80s movies. It's a crappy movie from the 80s trying to bank off the popularity of Big, but I love it. Especially the Judge drum scene. Just awesome.

But that's beside the point, this is a sex comedy, teen comedy, with body switching involved, and it really doesn't take itself seriously. The first scene after they switch both check their bodies to see what happened and see the other parts, and there is a shadowed erection for the boy which looks like it'd been blown up like a balloon. It's goofy, it's stupid, but it works.

There was a lot more sex references and a lot more almost nudity than expected. His black friend from the football team almost has a full frontal and Samaire almost has a full frontal. It's very strange.

When I mentioned getting to place people, the main kid, played by Kevin Zegers, was the really young security guy from Dawn of the Dead. As well as a few other things, but that's where I know him from. And the next door neighbor, the dad of Samaire's character, is played by Robert Joy (a man you've probably seen about 2000 times) and he played Charlie, the main character's best friend, the simple guy who was good with a rifle, in Land of the Dead. Another zombie flick. He was also zombie-like in The Hills Have Eyes as one of the bad dudes in that. Real creepy looking dude. I think he bit a girl's nipple off in that movie.

The main characters are okay once they switch roles. As the standard sex roles, Samaire Armstrong is super-stuck up and lispy and pretty awful and trying to really eschew Drew Barrymore in anything she's ever been in and Kevin is just kinda lame and utterly worthless. But once they switch, it works. He's really girly, she's really guy-like, and it seems to work for them.

Most everything else. It doesn't try to be anything else than what it is, a rip-off of quite a few other better movies. There is a love aspect that completely comes out of nowhere and gets tacked on near the last 20 or so minutes of the movie as well as a Romeo and Juliet aspect to the two families as once friends and now bitter rivals who still live right next door (even though her parents are super-rich and his are super-poor). It makes no sense. It just seems so quick to change that you're left thinking, HUH? The soundtrack is awful. It's like I closed my eyes and woke up in 2001. Mystikal, Eminem, Elton John, the list goes on and it's almost all bad. It just seems ridiculous.

It's not kitschy when it's been 4 years. It'd be more kitschy to listen to like Barry Gibb songs or Olivia Newton-John, not Mystikal.

And why the hell is Sharon Osbourne in this movie? She's playing a lower-middle class white woman from suburbia who just so happens to have a very thick British accent! It makes no bloody sense. None whatsoever. Maybe she was an exchange student that got knocked up, I don't know, but why she's living in this town and working at Spatulaworld (yes, apparently, that shows how poor the main boy is, his dad works or runs or operates Spatulaworld, as if humanity needs a store DEVOTED to spatulas).

Go watch Vice Versa. Or Dawn of the Dead. Or Land of the Dead. Or The Hot Chick. At least then you've got something to put your weed in. This movie doesn't elevate itself above the status of wannabe, and for that, it's not really worth your time. Unless you're into the constant stream of same ideas coming out of Hollywood these days.
