An up-tight, straight-A student swaps bodies with her diametrically opposite in the form of the popular quarter back. Antics unfold as the two are forced to (literally) spend sometime walking in the others shoes.
Variations of this theme have been done before in "Big", "All of me" and of course "Freaky Friday."
The format lives or dies by the actors and how effectively and how humorously they can enact the transposition.
It worked for me, the characters were interesting and I became embroiled in their personal issues. I also liked the actors and was impressed with their skill and the direction.
At the end of the day this is a teen flick which has to serve a specific audience. It has the obligatory dose of teen angst and goofy comedy. But this all works well and I found it highly enjoyable.
Good Film Flex fodder
