    • Quotes

      Brett: [talking to Rob about the complexity of dating] Getting into a relationship with a woman these days is like...

      [gives him an example]

      Brett: it's like getting into a cab with a driver that doesn't speak English. I mean you tell them where you wanna go when you start off, and they nod and smile and you think they've understood. And then all of a sudden you look up, and you're driving down 'moving in' street, or 'having a baby' street, and you say 'no I never wanted to go here' and then they start yelling at you in some language you don't even understand. Man I tell you something, from now on I'm walking.

    Switching the bodies... This movie is "a must see" about women and men
    I watched it 2 times in the Tv. But it didnt loose anything from its amuzement. Brett and tacha fall in love at the first sight, but they were completely different in their livings. After a quarrel, tacha wished brett to be her, so he could see "how dump was he". After that they found theirselves in eachothers bodies. The performance of are marvelous. The mannish acts of brett in tacha's body are marvelous. they make you think brett is a real woman and tacha is a real man.

    after the film you found yourself smiling warmly.

    A must see about women and men.
