There have been countless movies made about switching bodies. The Best was the one with Rob Schinder in "Hot Chick", were he wakes up in Anna Faris' body. The look on his face as Anna Faris realized she is in a male body is priceless.
I think we've all had this fantasy. If only we could trade! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad every day that I can live and blend as the woman that I am. But still sometimes, I'll see some gloriously small-boned gal and think, that shooda been meeeeee! I cooda been a contenda!

I just LOVE "The Hot Chick", Janet. I found it totally by accident one night when I was channel flipping. I was simply rolling with laughter because I was thinking, that was my life!!! I own a copy, it's priceless. And the way the guy in the girl's body treats the bf "Billy" is just hysterical. "What's your name again? Yeah, Billy, right. You got any money?" LOL! The she (he) peels out and almost runs him over with his own car. So ladylike! And the way she (he) walks, too funny. But it was the girl in the guy's body that rang all the bells for me...being expected to be macho when it just ain't happening, and all that. I don't think Rob Schneider gets enough credit for the acting job he did. He got all of it right.
I also liked "It's A Boy Girl Thing", though not as much as "The Hot Chick." Still, it was cute. I loved it when the girl, in his body, is trying to find all his classes, and she looks for her next room number and it's a shop class, and it's full of guys welding and stuff, and somebody calls out, "Yo, Woodster", and she just turns on her heel and hurries away from the horror of it all. Ha! I lived that! I had to take shop class and I hated every second of it! Gawd, talk about being in the wrong life. Good grief. This movie also has a quiz, "Are you more boy or girl?" in the special features. I tested out as a total girly girl, thank you very much!
I also liked "13 Going On 30" when she is trying to get used to having boobs and stuff, and she's trying to get clues from people around her as to what's expected of her and all. It SO reminded me of my early days of transitioning, when my body was "new" and I really was basically this overage adolescent girl.
it isn't quite the same thing, but I loved "But I'm A Cheerleader" too, especially the scene where Rupaul is the boys' counselor (how perfect is that??) and he is making the gay boys fix cars and play football and stuff and they are running into trees and everything and he threatens them to get with it or they have to watch sports all weekend, and they all groan. Ha!
