Movie Reviews of Help! I'm a Boy
Movie Review: Cute body-swap comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
This kid-safe amusement takes the Freaky Friday premise, two people swapping bodies for a day and desperate to get back home. Like It's a Boy Girl Thing, this involves a surprise sex change for both. Here, though, the protagonists are pre-tweens - body issues pretty much end at "Hey, it's not so hard to do this standing up." That keeps it charmingly innocent.
The big tension is getting the two kids straightened out again, but side plots work well too: the misfit friend who finds his place, catty schoolyard rivalries, and the pressure of a mother try to live her dreams in her child. The two lead kids do a good job too, conveying the attempt to live the other's life but desperate not to let go of their own identities.
Parents will appreciate the lack of violence and adult themes, without giving over completely to saccharine inanity. This isn't the most memorable flick around, but a pleasant one anyway.
