    Name of song

    I liked this movie. It's not great film, but it's a nice feel-good movie. I was far more interested in Alex than I was in Janine.

    I guess I identify more with the unpopular girl than the supermodel. I'd look for fanfiction about this movie, except that i know it won't exist. It just seemed to me that Janine's relationship with her guy was not as deep. I mean the first words out of his mouth once he found out were "I went out with Janine Adams!" I'm not saying they didn't care about each other or anything. The two of them were just a little more surface stuff. But there's nothing wrong with that.

    I'm trying to find out the name of the song playing just after they've switched back. When Janine is looking at the pictures taken in the photo booth, etc. Since they only played the intro, I never found out what the title of the song was.

    If anyone knows, let me know.

    This movie kept me watching

    "Model Behavior" is a movie about where a super model and a regular teen switch places. I kept watching this because it wasn't like "Freaky Friday" or "Wish upon a Star", those are about when the characters make a wish to trade places and it 'magically' happens. This is where the people look alike. That is what kept me watching. I also liked it because of the way it was written. If I told you what happened, I would be spoiling it, so I will just tell you that much. But my other likeness of this was how well Maggie Lawson came upon the roles of BOTH characters. She made it seem so real. And how they put the two pictures together was amazing because it actually looked like there were two people there. So I give this a 9 out of 10 for only a few minor problems. P. S. I hope I am not confusing the reader

    Like Chocolate

    The phraise "Guilty Pleasure," comes to mind right off the bat. A fun quirky little movie, Model Behavior is like chocolate: you eat it up, even if its not that good. Justin Timberlake is an awful actor, but that's ok. The lead actress is pretty convincing as two different people, adding different personalities to the charactors. However they both seem to slip to easily into the other person's lifestyles. All this considered, if you just want to watch a movie and not really have to think about it, then Model Behavior is right for you. It may not be the best movie, but it is fun and energenic and you can watch it without cringing that much. Again, the only thing the WILL make you cringe is JT.

    Should be called Justin Timberlakes first movie...

    I, like mostly everyone, only watched it because Justin Timberlake was in it. Did ANYONE watch it for any other reason? But, it turned out to be a really cute movie! People who like movies like She's All That, and Clueless, will like this one. It's about a girl who switches identities with a super model, and they trade lives and everything. Justin plays a male super model. Sorry to say he isn't that much of an actor...But if you are a fan of his, I bet you wont care! It's a cute movie, so I think you should watch it!

    Good

    I didn't really expect to like it - like many I simply watched the film because I wanted to see whether or not Justin Timberlake could act. Actually, I think he did a fairly good job, and so did everyone else. The one exception was Codey Gifford ....

    Other than that, it's a pleasant way to spend the afternoon, and all of the acting was nice.

      Janine Adams: We'll, uh, we'll switch for a week. Until Friday. All we have to do is swap the key stats of our lives and voila.

      Alex Burroughs: You really think we can pull this off.

      Janine Adams: As easily as an angora sweater during a quick change.
