Trivia
The music on Nell's alarm clock that she also plays in the car as Woody is Elton John's "Candle In The Wind." Elton John is the executive producer of this film and his partner David Furnish is the producer.

Goofs
Interviews are not required for Yale applicants, and many students successfully gain admission without ever having one. Nell could have simply canceled hers.

Quotes
Woody: [inhabited by Nell, seeing how Woody has dressed her body for school] You look like a common prostitute.
Nell Bedworth: [Woody in Nell's body] Damn... I was going for high class hooker.

Crazy credits
As the credits roll, a comedy reel shows scenes which didn't make it into the movie.

What happened to my bush?

An up-tight, straight-A student swaps bodies with her diametrically opposite in the form of the popular quarter back. Antics unfold as the two are forced to (literally) spend sometime walking in the others shoes.

Variations of this theme have been done before in "Big", "All of me" and of course "Freaky Friday."

The format lives or dies by the actors and how effectively and how humorously they can enact the transposition.

It worked for me, the characters were interesting and I became embroiled in their personal issues. I also liked the actors and was impressed with their skill and the direction.

At the end of the day this is a teen flick which has to serve a specific audience. It has the obligatory dose of teen angst and goofy comedy. But this all works well and I found it highly enjoyable.

Good Film Flex fodder
