It's A Boy Girl Thing is a 2006 body swap romantic comedy film starring Samaire Armstrong (The OC, Just My Luck) and Kevin Zegers (Wrong Turn, Zoom). The film was directed by Nick Hurran, written by Geoff Deane (Kinky Boots). Gist: Nell Bedworth (Samaire Armstrong) is a smart, awkward, "pencil-necked virgin" hoping to pass her interview to get into Yale. Her next-door-neighbour, Woody Deane (Kevin Zegers), is into loud hiphop, dates a cheerleader and wants to get a football scholarship to college. The two despise each other - until a completely arbitrary visit to an exhibit of Mayan artefacts (that are later described as 'Aztec') causes the two to wake up in the strangest of places: each other's bodies. Desperate to reverse the curse, the bickering duo must work together to preserve their goals and wind up falling in love in the process.

There’s no need for discernment for you to know that the theme of this movie was borrowed from countless body-swappin’ comedies like Vice Versa, Freaky Friday and Hot Chick but seems more focused on toilet humors rather than bringing interesting attack to the two characters.

Zegers and Armstrong both portrayed their characters well but poor screenplay filled with crass and obvious jokes just overshadowed the good in their performances.

If you’re looking for entertainment without using your brain, then rent this movie this weekend. Remember that this is “just another teen movie”, don’t expect for something special.
