Synopsis
IT'S A BOY GIRL THING is a romantic comedy about next-door neighbours who live worlds apart. Woody Deane (Kevin Zegers - TRANSAMERICA, DAWN OF THE DEAD) and Nell Bedworth (Samaire Armstrong - THE OC, ENTOURAGE) are sworn enemies.
Woody is the star quarterback of the Westdale Bay High School football team. Woody has it all - good looks, great personality, athletic ability and extreme popularity. With the Homecoming Game just around the corner, Woody is expecting to be drafted to a college team. Either that or he will end up working in his father's kitchen accessory retail outlet, 'Spatula World'. Whatever the future brings, Woody has the loving support of his parents Della (Sharon Osbourne) and Stan (Maury Chaykin).
Next-door is the pretty (in a bookish way), academically astute and socially inept Nell, who also attends Westdale Bay High School. But she is there strictly for the education, attempting to fulfil a life long ambition of attending her dream Ivy League college, Yale. Her mother Katherine (Sherry Miller) has dedicated her lives to this dream - whilst her father Ted (Robert Joy) looks on exasperated.
Though Woody and Nell go to the same high school and live in the same neighbourhood, they stay far away from each other. That is, until the two are thrown together on a school field trip and a heated argument erupts between them. The fight is so strong and the words so bitter it results in a mysterious twist courtesy of a mischievous Aztec God. The next day they wake up in a very strange place: each other's body...
