Two kids with nothing in common are brought together in a very unexpected way in this comedy. Nell (Samaire Armstrong) is a pretty but hopelessly geeky teenage girl who loves Shakespeare and wants little more than to study literature at Yale when she graduates from high school in a few months Woody (Kevin Zegers), who lives next door, is the quarterback on the school's football team, and seems like a sure bet to land a lucrative football scholarship despite the fact he isn't especially bright.

As predictable as it is blatantly enjoyable.
All this movie needs is a choreographed dance number to complete the circle.
There's little doubt that Boy Girl Thing was assembled by someone who was obviously blindfolded and possibly drugged.
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.
...the film does possess enough heart and laughs to warrant a mild recommendation.
There's actually some serious subtext if we bother to look for it.
A worthy addition to the bodyswap genre, thanks to a decent script and superb performances from its likeable leads.
