Sorry, this movie sucks

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The movie is good and has some moments which made me laugh. The acting from Rob Schneider is top-notch and I enjoyed watching him. The acting from beautiful female actresses is good and funny as well.It was enjoyable to watch it, thus I give it 8 stars!

There are many problems with this movie but the biggest is: IT's NOT FUNNY. Not even a single bit.The lead guy (Rob Schneider) is as funny as cancer... seriously bad undergraduate stuff that looks more like a church campfire sketch than a PG movie. Honestly this makes Mr Bean look sophisticated and mature... The supporting cast are as interesting as a dial tone; even the ones thrown in for the "eye-candy" factor weren't especially attractive.Another problem is that this movie is as sanitised as the Brady Bunch. You almost expect Alice to pop up somewhere with some idiotic line and that catatonic look on her face.But in spite of the goody two shoes treatment, the level of racism in this movie is through the roof. From the Asian woman who works painting nails in the mall who speaks "Engrish", the old black guy working in the men's toilet, the young black guy who liked the fat chick with the big bum the list of ugly stereo types goes on and on and on.In spite of using racial vilification and bullying to prop it up, this train wreck falls flat on its face.Watching this movie was a truly vile experience; which is quite an achievement for a "comedy".

Beat me with a rubber hose and call me a fool, but I think this Rob Schneider vehicle is his best, and an hilarious comedy to boot. It concerns thirty-something small time crook and general pervert (Schneider) inadvertently occupying the body of a senior high school queen and prima donna (McAdams) after he finds one of her earrings, an ancient relic transporting a centuries old curse. Soon thereafter he has to convince his BFF (Faris) that although he looks and sounds like Rob Schneider, he's actually a teenage girl inside.The script is the hero with so many great one-liners and set-ups, there's a guaranteed laugh in every scene. Robert Davi is somewhat wasted as Faris' pre-occupied father, and otherwise the cast is shallow, but Schneider and Faris in particular are very good. In between awkward moments that predictably revolve around discovering his (or her) manhood and now relative unkempt appearance, he moonlights as the Mexican gardener Taquito, working for his family while he tries to recover his female body (now living life as a criminal having taken Schneider's place).Plenty of site gags (there's an hilarious pillow fighting scene) and toilet humour (literally), well paced and hitched to a moralistic tale of true beauty being on the inside for those who like a message with their movie. Adam Sandler co-produces and has a cameo as a hooch smoking hippie ("you can store your weed in here") and this in my opinion, is their most successful collaboration to date.

This film starts out pretty straight forward then turns for the worse. I didn't find the gags and jokes in the film funny just disgusting, crude and somewhat offensive in a way. Most of the "jokes" involve Rob Scheinder (as Rachel McAdams- female) trying to figure out how to get used to being a male. A lot of awkward and unfunny jokes are present, such as her using the bathroom, April (Anna Faris) asking to see her/his private, the stereotypical Asian friend's mother randomly coming in from nowhere, and other gay/lesbian jokes. This movie had a pretty good premise but given its's production and direction with script it wasn't as funny as it could have been. I think had it been rated R (incl. R rated material) this could have been a lot funnier. I understand what the filmmakers want us to laugh at. But the delivery doesn't work. Why do audience members laugh when Rob Schneider takes a header down about 100 steps? Not because there's any real humor in the situation, but because the filmmakers expect viewers to laugh, and we have been programmed to laugh, even if that laughter is more of a knee-jerk reaction than something that bubbles up from deep within.The whole plot who the transformation is ridiculous (even for a fantasy comedy). Jessica (McAdams) steals a pair of ancient earing's (she doesn't know they are ancient) from a shop, which somehow has powers to transform people who wear one piece of earning at the same time simultaneously. Also, the meeting between Clive and Jessica is rather ridiculous and pure coincidence. They meet when Clive is robing a gas station, and Jessica along with her friends are outside in their car waiting for assistance to help put gas in the vehicle. What I don't understand, is why would Clive go and help them. He simply could have said that he isn't the guy who works at the station.Also, they don't show Rachel McAdams (disguised as Clive)much in the film. She's there a few moments after the transformation but its only in little doses. The MPAA rates this PG-13. Yet it is too vulgar for anyone under 13, and too dumb for anyone over 13.
