It's a Boy Girl Thing (2008)

This is the nicest comedy I've ever seen. It has soo much fun, jokes and silly moments that you'll enjoy. I could not stop laughing at these movie.. but, it has some romantic moments too.. I think that this is such a nice movie for girl's night out or even for a date.

If one is looking for a movie thats going to get them rolling head over heals laughing ... this is the movie for you.The best part, which I find is that the story and characters keep you constantly engrossed and all the scenes seem to have a refreshing connectivity and light humour associated with them. You would not need to worry yourself with the details as the scenes depict a natural build up of the plot.Great character portrayal, great direction, fine plot conforming to quite a decent (though predictable) climax. The Acting is brilliant and very natural.

I think that the movie is hilarious. The story is really old, Freaky Friday old. But the events are completely different. In Freaky Friday it's a mother and her daughter bonding, while here, it's two people from completely different worlds discovering what causes the other one to be what they are... and falling for each other during the process. Samaire is a really great actress. She really got the roles, both as Nell and Woody. And you might not notice it at first because he's so cute, but Kevin is a great actor as well. There are also some mistakes dis-regarded in the plot. For example, interviews are not really required for Yale applicants. Nell could've just canceled the interview once she knew that Woody would be doing it as her. I think that the movie was great but it still had its faults.

It's not a new concept, by far. It's definitively not 'Freaky Friday' and especially not 'All of Me.' But, surprisingly, 'It's a Boy/Girl Thing' wasn't terrible. Sure, predictable as all hell, clichés abound and homophobia very much present (I'm shocked one of the producers was Elton John , which is like George W. Bush helping write a Michael Moore film) and still the cast, namely the "boy" and "girl," did as best of the job they could and did so enthusiastically. Unfortunately, you'll have to suspend your disbelief beyond the soul/swapping main plot, such as how quickly they learn each other's functions, like walking in heels. (And that's not something someone could learn in a few seconds as portrayed, especially for the "jock" as he's referred.) Strange, they kept going back and forth on if they want to be kid-friendly afterschool special (locker-room/slumber party cover ups) then to hard/sexual references and flashes of nudity, a la 'American Pie' raunchiness. 'It's a Boy/Girl Thing' starts with the obvious love/hate relationship between the jock and the smart girl, followed by the soul-swapping (no need to explain how, it seriously could've just as easily been they bumped their heads,) and after the inevitable jokes/revenge segment – seen from a mile away – they "learn" how to walk in each other's shoes and help each other out. I did like the clearing of the stadium in the climax, showing their POV, but not enough to save the film. It wasn't great, the secondary characters were boring, clichéd and an annoyance, and had a credit scene that was embarrassing to watch, yet, if you have 90+ minutes to fill, watch 'All of Me,' 'Tootsie,' any 'Freaky Friday' film. Then if you're still up, you can view this.
