Multiple personality disorder may be a theme because a different body is a different transformation.
It is a smooth movie, the story is not chaotic, and it is not cheesy at all, as I expected it to be. Also, thankfully, it is not really a classical teenage movie. It is very pleasant to watch, the acting is good, the movie has good quality overall, and the story is quite nicely told. I am not a huge fan of the ending scene but I guess it is ok, for an ok film.
I enjoyed two major films on the premise of person waking up in a different body everyday. However, in those films the new bodies were akin to wearing new clothes albeit they were every shape, size and gender. There was never any 'life' or 'family' attached to the new bodies. This tale is drastically different since we have a spirit or entity named A who possesses very real bodies including the body's family and life for one day. The film covered a major plot hole by allowing A access to the host bodies 'mind' i.e. he knew friends names and could cook as well as the one real host. The host, on the other hand, would have little or no recollection of events occurring when he/she was possessed for the day.This allowed for some interesting situations i.e. opportunity to 'save' a host from the upcoming dangerous situation. Most interesting we are told A has been body snatching since childhood, into male and female bodies so that we do not know A's gender...do spirits have genders? A fun, harmless tale, sans violence, but covering teen angst situations both at home and at school including sex, the latter taking place off screen.The ending scene was predictable and it worked. Just as in the other 'new body everyday' films the movie takes advantage of the situation offering up an array of genders, sizes, shapes of hosts making life a daily challenge for our heroine. Especially, since here the body snatching 'rule' requires the host be high school age.
Personally I believe if you're to base a movie off of a book it should at least seem like, oh I don't know, you read the book. I read both Another Day and Every Day and literally was so lost watching this movie from almost the beginning. I get that you can't get everything exactly right but there was a lot more that could have been done to match the book than there was. I hated this movie. I love both the books. What a shame.
