Storyline The next door neighbors Nell Bedworth and Woody Deane have opposite behaviors and hate each other: the virgin geek Nell is polite, sensitive and well-prepared to go to Yale, while Woody is rude and his greatest expectation is to join a mediocre university due to his abilities playing football. When Nell and Woody are assigned to visit a museum together, they argue in front of a statue of an Aztec god. During the night, their souls swap bodies, bringing difficult situations to them. They first try to damage each others reputation in high school, but soon they discover that their dream of joining college can only happen with mutual respect and support.

Plot holes:
Interviews are not required for Yale applicants, and many students successfully gain admission without ever having one. Nell could have simply canceled hers.
Quotes: Woody:

Nice penis.
User Review
Completely surprised by how much I enjoyed this film.
Rating: 10/10
When " A Night At The Museum" was sold out at my local multiplex, I
reluctantly purchased a ticket for "Boy Girl Thing". The reviews that I
read were fairly miserable and I was expecting a clunker.
I was completely surprised by how brilliant it was. Hilariously funny.
Surprisingly moving. Great soundtrack. I was completely hooked by the
journey that Nell and Woody went on in each other's bodies. I think
both Kevin Zegers and Samaire Armstrong are the stars of tomorrow. They
might have been a little old for their roles, but it didn't matter. I
was completely caught up in their journey. Even Sharon Osbourne made me
giggle.
It won't win any awards, but if you are looking more light-hearted fare
that leaves you with a smile on your face, it's a complete winner.
I guess it really shows what stupid idiots critics can be.
