About the film
They've turned into the things they hated most... each other.
What it’s about
Nell Bedworth and Woody Deane are neighbours and sworn enemies. She is a driven overachiever; he is a laid-back jock. During a school trip to a natural history museum, an ancient Aztec statue casts a spell that switches their bodies. Each must now inhabit the other's life, risking their reputations and futures.
What hooks you
Samaire Armstrong and Kevin Zegers play the swapped pair, with Sharon Osbourne as Woody's mother. The film includes details tied to Elton John, an executive producer: his song "Candle in the Wind" appears twice, and David Furnish is a producer. It was released in Italy as "Adam and Eve".
Who it’s for
It is a good pick for those who enjoy body-swap comedies with high-school rivalries, light fantasy, and a touch of romance. It will appeal to viewers who like seeing opposites forced to understand each other.

Trivia
- Nell's alarm clock plays the melody of Elton John's song "Candle in the Wind." The same song plays in Woody's car. Elton John is an executive producer of the film, and his longtime partner David Furnish is a producer.
- The Yale University booklet and the letter from Yale that the viewer sees in Nell's room are genuine.
- In Italy, the film was released under the title "Adam and Eve".
- You don't have to interview to get into Yale University. Many students successfully "get in" without a single interview. Nell could have simply canceled hers.
- Ozzy Osbourne's song "Goodbye to Romance" plays at the school prom. Ozzy's wife Sharon plays Woody's mother in the film.
