Jessica Spencer is the hottest, most popular girl in high school. But she gets a big dose of reality when she wakes up in the body of a 30-something lowlife male (Schneider) and quickly discovers that trading on your looks isn't so easy when you're a girl who constantly needs a shave. How in the world can Jessica convince her friends it really is her? And how can she change herself back into a teenage girl?
You have seen it a million times, from "Freaky Friday" (Disney) to "Vice Versa" with Judge Reinhold. This movie is one of the most formulaic stories around. So now it boils down to whether you like the acting style and the "one-liners.” Or if you just like to ogle young girls and extra hairy guys.
The basic story is simple. A person who is intentionally rude, but unconscious of the rudeness, soon will find the tables turned (gaining or losing an appendage in the process) and learn to feel for the other person. Then again, it is the story of making snogging and dancing a little easier if you have the right body.
For an excellent version that excels at exchanging bodies, watch “Goodbye Charlie” (1964). Debby Reynolds did not have to act like a baseball player to emphasize the change.
