Chris constantly is pushed around by bully Kurt and his gang. When he has to change to the same school as them, he decides to disguise in women's clothes on his way to school to avoid his tormentors. However already the first morning he runs into two teachers when still dressed up as female - so he's bound to the role. He learns of the advantages soon, when he manages to become best (girl-)friend to cheerleader Marie. Only when his coach sees how much he enjoys cleaning the women's showers, she becomes suspicious... Written by Tom Zoerner <Tom.Zoerner@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
I'll be the first to openly admit that the only reason I watch this ridiculous film is because of the fact that ALANiS is in it. This movie features a few of her awesome most incredible Canadian dance tracks("Too Hot", "Feel Your Love"[Album Version and Muzzle Mix],and "An Emotion Away") from 1991 and 1992. A clip of those songs here and there are the only things that save the segments of the movie that don't feature ALANiS. Viewers get to see her gorgeous self here and there...you might want to fast forward the movie to all scenes featuring her. Those scenes are too short if you ask me. Being a fan since 1985 (When she appeared on 8 episodes of Canada's "You Can't Do That On Television") I feel that ALANiS can do no wrong in the work she does. Her performance alone in this movie is what makes it worth watching. A film that has a plot revolved around a guy dressing up as a female to avoid a school bully is just crazy. Why not face the bully in the first place to avoid future embarrassment? In all actuality, no one would honestly fall for the disguise anyway. And anyone who actually attended high school will laugh when they see the ending. But nonetheless, I enjoy this movie every time I watch it(providing I use the fast-forward button). ALANiS saves this movie from being an embarrassing failure. (ALANiS plays the game with determination, she doesn't give a damn 'bout her reputation baby.)~1992 Rock On ALANiS!!!
