the movie was good although i still think the first one was better. it was well directed and well acted.

i just have one comment. i don't know if it's just me but i kept on getting distracted by the seemingly nonexistent age-difference between missie and marty. they looked like sisters instead of mother and daughter. i thought January jones looked older than katherine heigl in some scenes, then i found out from IMDb that she is indeed older. it would have been better if they at least tried to age katherine so she would look believable as a stepmother to a grown young woman.

another thing, the DVD cover is very misleading. the film is about missie but they put katherine heigl's picture on the cover. this might mislead others into thinking that the film is about marty. other than these, i don't have any other comments.

I first knew about this movie from a friend's recommendation. I love Grey's Anatomy and Izzie is my favorite in it so I wanted to watch Katherine Heigl's previous work. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by it. While the story is undoubtedly clichéd, the girls' performances were great.

There is one fun fact, though. Danielle Harris played the younger sister but she is actually a year and a half older that Katherine Heigl. I do think it made sense to reverse the girls' roles. Katherine is not only at least a foot taller than Danielle, she is also much prettier. Besides, since they were supposed to have switched bodies, each of them were playing their own age for most of the movie anyway. I think the girls were perfectly cast in this film.
