1.5/5
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A young uncool teen wishes themselves into the body of a thirty year old so that they can finally have the life they always wanted.
The premise of this film is icky as hell. This film places this girl in the body of a woman in many sexual situations where she is uncomfortable and does not know what to do and then plays it off as a joke. Worse yet it gives her a romance arc, where the thirty year old version of her friend who has a crush on her, pursues a romantic relationship with her, despite her being the younger version of herself: and the film wants us to cheer for this……..
How exactly is this film supposed to be a classic?
I think these glaring issues are made all the worse by the fact that Jennifer Garner plays the character with such a sense of childlike innocents and naivety, which only compounds the problematic elements further.
The only reason this film doesn’t get lower from me is the fact that there are a few funny lines, albeit unintentionally. I found myself laughing quite a few times during the film which helped me get through the horror show that the rest of it is. A very poorly thought out idea.
Overall, troublesome.
Pros.
Unintentionally funny
Cons.
It is problematic
The central romance is icky and weird
The ending
Garner
