I saw Schneider’s The Animal, so I should have known what to expect. Does Thorne Smith’s estate get royalties from this film? He did, after all, write Turnabout, the greater, though perhaps not better, part of a century ago. Clive (Rob Schneider) is a two-bit, and not totally competent, robber of convenience stores and the like. Jessica (Rachel McAdams) is a stereotypical high-school cheerleader, superficial and amoral. The two of them inadvertently switch bodies, and the rest of the film (with one or two exceptions) has to do with Jessica’s attempts to get out of Rob Schneider and back into Rachel McAdams. Lots of humor of the sort guaranteed to arouse snickers rather than belly laughs. (April: “[Wow, you’re a boy now!] Can I see … IT?” Male Jessica: “Listen, April, this is serious!” April: “Oh, yeah, I forgot. Uh … can I see … IT?”) I saw Schneider’s The Animal, so I should have known what to expect. Amusing, but even more minor (in my humble opinion) than Two Weeks Notice. Well, this show didn’t have Grant and Bullock. Don Harlow, December 21, 2002 03:35 PMFeedback

| Don Harlow bio info. Born longer ago than he cares to admit, Don Harlow has worked as a military weather forecaster, neophyte astronomer, computer programmer and office manager. His primary avocations are reading science-fiction and fantasy and promoting the international language Esperanto. He has successfully raised three daughters and a son, the oldest of whom (Gwen) is responsible for designing this site and giving it to him as a Christmas present. Movies are, for him, a pleasant way of passing an afternoon or evening; his only connection with the movie industry consists in a long-ago four week period during which he worked as an usher at the Lake Theater in Oswego, Oregon.
