Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Jan 20, 2007 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Raunchy teen comedy looks at gender roles; lots of cursing. Rated: 3/5 Jan 24, 2017 Full Review Charlie Lyne Ultra Culture As predictable as it is blatantly enjoyable. May 30, 2011 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com All this movie needs is a choreographed dance number to complete the circle. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 3, 2008 Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com There's little doubt that Boy Girl Thing was assembled by someone who was obviously blindfolded and possibly drugged. Rated: D Jun 30, 2008 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile Strangely enough, it isn't the lack of originality in this body switch comedy that irritated me most, it is that I didn't believe any of it.

Liam D I'm a sucker for a good body swap story but this has some heart and subtext underneath all of the cliches and the wacky comedy Shenanigans Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Alberto C Classica commedia romantica adolescenziale, ma sorprendentemente piacevole. Il classico cliché dello scambio dei corpi è usato in modo intelligente, senza abusarne. La volgarità è presente ma mai eccessiva e l'alchimia tra i protagonisti è veramente buona. Film consigliato se ci si vuole disintossicare dalle commedie romantiche mediocri. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a cute and smart little flick. I enjoyed this more then I thought I would! Great performances all around! Hilarious! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Id watch it again if it was on while flipping through channels. Cut and paste body swapping movies Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/21 Full Review Audience Member Fun, high school movie with a surprisingly emotionally ending. I have to admit first that I am a fan of this genre, although when I went in I was expecting something pretty run-of-the-mill. However, this is no teen B-movie but is actually a really funny premise and has a story with a surprising amount of emotional depth. I'm surprised no-one has made a movie about this before, but they haven't. It seems quite an obvious premise. A boy and girl who despise each other, end up swapping bodies and are thus forced to deal with each other's lives. It's like Freaky Friday but with a bit more edge and all the adolescent teen stuff which is what keeps it fresh. Whilst this stuff is funny it is the love story that really gets you and I was amazed to find myself getting emotionally drawn into the characters. Not often I say that about an American teen movie. Only negative is Sharon Osbourne who kind of pulls you out of the movie a bit, but other than a satisfying movie experience and a really pleasant surprise. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member a movie I never get tired of seeing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
