Despite being next door neighbors, they couldn't be any different and neither have any love for each other; in fact the despise one another intensely. But all that is about to change, courtesy of a trip to a local museum, and a run in with a Mayan god of sorcery, which leaves them in a situation where the term "Walk a mile another person's shoes" soon occurs next morning.

    Pretty entertaining.

    teenage to young girls will eat this up, it has its moments but not enough to keep the average viewer entertained
  • August 9, 2009
    Even though the plot isn't original, it was a cute movie. Better than expected.

    Oh, there's this girl who's miss perfect, she works hard at school and wants to go to Yale. Then there's this guy who comes from a lesser background and plays football, and they hate each other...but suddenly they find themselves in each others body. Nothing original here but wha...( read more)t I liked was how much the two leads got into the role, even down to the walk of the opposite sex. They start out hating each other and going out of their way to ruin the others life but then work together to get their respective goals and then fall in love. It has quite a few funny moments and I was surprised by how much I liked it - the girl especially gives a really good performance. Like Face/Off only without the slo-mo action and the shooting and the doves and a lot of other things.

    This is a romantic and at times funny film. A film worth seeing, it gives hope to the romantic in you. However, the story feels familiar, and everyone can understand how it will end.

    A very funny movie, too bad it was pg-13, I could see how much dark potential it could have had, if it had been a NC17!!!
  • September 12, 2009
    Despite starting off on the wrong foot by playing up the gender stereotypes in all the wrong ways, the two leads have a total blast in their roles and the characters warm up to you because of it. Great performances from both Zegers and Armstrong, making this an incredibly fun lit...( read more)tle flick to watch.
