action
The film begins 50 years before the birth of Christ when a princess uses a pair of enchanted earrings to avoid an arranged wedding by swapping bodies. For this purpose she exchanges her body with that of a slave girl.
The rest of the film takes place in the present. Jessica Spencer, a popular high school student, lives in a nice little suburb. Her best friends are April, Keecia and Lulu. April is Jessica's "BFF (Best Friend Forever)" and all four girls are cheerleaders. One day Jessica makes fun of an overweight girl named Hildenburg and a girl named Eden who is decried as a witch at school. Then she and her friends visit the local shopping mile, where she gets her rival Bianca into trouble and discovers the magic earrings in an African shop. Since these are not for sale, Jessica steals them out of hand.
Shortly afterwards, the petty criminal Clive robbed a nearby gas station. When Jessica and her gang stop there and mistakenly mistake him for an employee, he takes care of the girls' car so as not to attract unnecessary attention. Jessica accidentally drops one of her earrings on the floor and Clive picks it up unnoticed. That evening, Clive and Jessica try on the earrings in their respective homes. When they wake up the next morning, they are trapped in each other's bodies. This is a disaster, especially for Jessica, as both an important cheerleading competition and the big prom are just around the corner.
After Jessica has convinced her friends of their identity, they investigate the cause of the body swap. Hildenburg, Eden and Bianca are of course all innocent. Hildenburg and Eden even join Jessica after she apologized to them. Eden finds a photo of the magic earrings on the Internet. When the girls return to the African shop, the shopkeeper tells them how the magic of the earrings works. She also tells them that they have to find the other earring quickly, otherwise the effect of the spell would be permanent.
Jessica, who in the meantime lives secretly with April, gets hold of two jobs in the following period. She starts out as a gardener in her own home, helping her parents solve marital problems. At school, she spies on her boyfriend Billy in her function as caretaker and is delighted to learn that he truly and dearly loves her. April's friend Jake, however, turns out to be a cheating cheater. Faced with this fact, April begins to fall in love with Jessica. She defends herself against the advances, but at least promises to accompany her best friend to the prom.
Meanwhile, Clive has been using Jessica's body to take money from men. This also applies to Billy, who gives him money and a car (assuming Jessica is in front of him). On the evening of the prom, Hildenburg saw a video on the television news of Clive robbing a man and went to the crime scene. There she finds the business card of a club where Clive works as a stripper. She informs Jessica, and the girls go to the club. When they find Clive, Jessica steals his earring and sticks the reunited jewelry pair in her ears. Then Clive and Jessica swap bodies again. The film ends with the graduation ceremony, followed by a final scene in which Clive, on the run from the law and still in lingerie, is kidnapped by a bartender who thinks he is a homosexual.
Trivia
Adam Sandler has a brief cameo role as a drummer with the fortune teller and later again briefly in the GO-GO Club.
criticism
“How much comedy can [...] grow from a role reversal has been seen in countless comedies, among which" Big "and" Switch "are classics. Here it's only enough for stupid sex jokes and slapstick. "
"Commercially available body-swap clothing that prepares a moral initiation story with too much slapstick and fecal humor."
"Nothing new on the Bad Taste comedy front, boys and girls big and small will still have fun."
Awards
The film was nominated for the World Stunt Award .
