I really like this movie. I like Mark Ruffalo, he's a charming actor. I really like him in the movie Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon. If you have never seen that, that's a good movie too.

One of my favorite fantasy body change and/or swap movies. I think for me, the saddest part for Jenna when she was realizing the kind of person she had grown into, was that although she was told certain things that had happened (she was a Sixth Chick, she was prom queen, etc.), and saw the photos, she had none of the actual MEMORIES of it. She went from 13 to 30 immediately, and I think that when she was watching those girls giggling on the bus, she was missing what she had, in fact, missed with the age shift. She didn't experience growing into the person she had become and was just....there. Living a life she *thought* she had wanted, and realizing the person she had become made the dream job, dream life, dream home...all ashes.
Did you ever watch Big with Tom Hanks? If not, I highly recommend it. Similar theme but with a different approach.
For body swap, I would suggest Freaky and The Hot Chick. Freaky is a dark comedy, and The Hot Chick is an absurd comedy, but they are both quite fun.
