• Uneven and unsatisfying
  This film is one of those that takes itself too seriously and in so doing ceases to remember that movies are first and foremost about entertainment. If you want to show you have depth become a swimming pool and if you want to send a message go to Western Union.
  It began with a good idea, promised to deal with real human emotions and then became a disappointing cliche of PC whining, absurd plot resolutions and self-indulgence. Ultimately the emptiness of the plot is not the actor's faults, but rather... more info

• Movie review
  A somewhat trite storyline, but done really well, with no gratuitous sensuality! Ending may be a surprise, depending on how many movies of this type one has watched!

• Very well acted
  I am rather surprised at the reviews. I thought the acting was completely solid. You knew when it was the mother and when it was the daughter. I must admit I was nervous about the couple consummating since it was known beforehand that the girl would come back to inhabit the body but other than that it was great. Although it is reminiscent of Freaky Friday it is smarter. I truly enjoyed the movie.

• music?
  I'm a huge Duchovny fan, and he was great in this... it's definitely a very interesting film, and worth renting, imo.
  I'm wondering about certain music that was used in the film though-- specifically, what are the songs in the following scenes: a) when Hannah and Ben are kissing on the couch on their "night alone," b) when Sam/Hannah asks Ben to dance with her, when she's in the nightgown, and c) when Sam/Hannah does the shot at the party.
  Any help?
