In a modest suburban home, a teenage girl named Nell is having difficulty studying due
to the loud music emanating from her neighbor's house.
She repeatedly tries to ignore it but can't help but be distracted by the tremendously
annoying sounds.
Unable to tolerate it anymore, she opens her window and politely asks Woody, the boy next
door, to reduce the volume of his music.
However, Woody, who is somewhat of a deviant, refutes her plea and asks that she flashes
him, instead.
Disgusted by his request, Nell shuts her window fiercely but, in the process, tears her top,
which leaves her and on full display.
Woody sees this and ridicules her, as she cowers and runs away in shame.
The next morning, Nell's day begins on a high note as her dad hands her a letter addressed
to her from Yale.
She opens the letter and, on reading it, learns that she has been invited for an admission
interview.
Naturally, she and her parents are ecstatic on hearing the news and go on to finish their
breakfast.
However, the day's fortune doesn't last long as she narrowly misses the school bus on leaving
the house and ultimately resorts to trekking.
As she makes her way down the street, she gets drenched by Woody and his friend, Harry,
who intentionally splashes a nearby puddle on her as they drive by.
A distraught Nell can do nothing but look on as the boys speed off in their flashy car.
Eventually, she reaches the school premises and gets blow-dried by a vacuum cleaner which
leaves her hair in a hilarious state.
Her eccentric hairdo attracts unpleasant stares from her peers as they make fun of her using
some snarky remarks.
Later in the day, Nell, together with her entire class, heads to a museum for a field
trip.
There, the teacher shows them the statue of Tezcatlipoca, the ancient Aztec god of sorcery.
He goes on to give a brief lecture on the relic before grouping the class in pairs of
two to continue their tour, individually.
Unluckily, Nell gets paired up with Woody.
The duo hates each other's guts and gets into an argument on the spot, just in front of
the unique relic.
So engrossed in their argument, neither of them notices the strange aura oozing out of
the statue which swirls around them.
After bickering, they both head in different directions and, at the end of the trip, individually
make their way to their respective homes and settle in bed.
The following day, the teens receive the shock of their lives as they wake up to realize
that they have swapped bodies.
They simultaneously open their windows to find their original bodies staring at them.
Immediately, the duo agrees to meet up later, to figure out what exactly happened.
Meanwhile, they go on to prepare for school while trying to adapt to their new bodies
and families.
When they both arrive at school, the two teens immediately begin arguing as they instantly
blame each other for their strange predicament.
After a couple minutes of discord, they conclude that neither of them is responsible for this,
and agree to wait for 24 hours to see if they'd eventually reverse back to their original
bodies.
Over the course of the day, they both try to navigate their respective school activities
without arousing suspicion but end up failing woefully at it.
Woody flops Nell's class presentation as she looks on helplessly, while Nell performs terribly
during Woody's football practice, gaining him some serious reprimanding from the coach.
The next day, the teens wake up and find that they're still trapped in each other's bodies,
much to their disappointment.
Later that morning, the high-school seniors get into an argument in school, which leads
to each of them declaring a full-fledged war on the other, as they head off to sabotage
their respective lives in their new bodies.
Nell breaks up with Breanna, Woody's girlfriend, in front of her group of friends.
Thus, humiliating her as Woody watches helplessly from a distance.
As an act of vengeance, Woody retaliates by driving off with a guy named Nicky, but not
before telling Nell that he will make her lose herself to Nicky later that night.
On arriving at Nicky's, Woody shares a few beers with him.
However, when Nicky tries to make some advances at him, he freaks out and runs away, leaving
the former in his underwear.
The following day, Nell heads to school and soon after, gets word of a rumor going around
claiming that Nicky slept with her the night before.
Believing that Woody went along with his threat from yesterday, she breaks down and sobs on
the school's staircase.
Later on, she confronts Woody, who, on seeing how upset she is, admits that he didn't have
Fun with Nicky, much to her relief.
However, she informs him that Nicky spread lies about her on-campus, which sparked a
rumor of her being a bad girl.
On hearing this, Woody sympathizes with her and heads to the gym to confront Nicky.
Luckily, he finds him there during basketball practice and tries to get him to confess,
but Nicky refuses to admit it.
A frustrated Woody tries to slap him in the face, but Nicky easily stops his attack.
Right then, Nell comes from behind and punches Nicky in the face, resulting in the jerk falling
to the ground.
Nell quickly gets on top of him and forces him to apologize to Woody.
He refuses at first but ultimately succumbs to her request after some rough handling.
After the incident, the duo has a little chat to figure out what exactly caused their body
swap.
Suddenly, Woody brings up the squabble they had in front of the museum statue, prompting
Nell to suggest they pay the relic a visit.
Immediately, they make their way back to the museum and speak politely to the statue, requesting
that he reverse whatever curse he placed on them.
However, this proves futile as nothing helpful happens.
After the disappointing visit, they grab lunch at a store.
There, they devise a plan to help each other fit into their respective lives, pending when
they get their bodies back.
During the day, Woody teaches Nell how to play football ahead of the Homecoming game,
which some college scouts have scheduled to attend.
While Nell tutors Woody in preparation for her Yale interview, which is fast approaching.
The next day, Woody spots one of Breanna's friends named Chanel, crying right outside
school.
Woody considers ignoring her but eventually decides to ask her what's wrong.
A heartbroken Chanel confides in him, revealing that she caught Harry cheating on her.
On hearing this, Woody manages to console her, and Chanel, as a show of gratitude, invites
him to Breanna's sleepover later that night.
Meanwhile, Nell goes along with Harry to a party and gets hammered after having one too
many drinks.
The following morning, Woody visits Nell and helps her recover from her hangover.
After which, they spend the afternoon reading and practicing some football plays.
During their practice, Woody notices that Nell has a boner, as the former accuses her
of being attracted to him.
However, she quickly counters that, that is his body.
Hence, implying that he is the one who is attracted to her.
They decide not to read much meaning to it and eventually continue practicing their plays.
Later that night, Nell sneaks into Woody's room to check on him.
The two engage in a brief conversation which leads to Woody asking Nell to go to the Homecoming
dance with him.
He clarifies that it's nothing serious as they'd just be going as friends.
Hearing this, Nell agrees to it and eventually heads back home.
The following morning, Woody informs Nell's mum that he'd be coming home late, as he intends
to study later that day with "Woody".
Mrs. Bedworth expresses her disapproval at how much time the couple is spending together,
as she describes Woody as a stupid loser.
Woody tries to defend himself against her comments, but Mrs. Bedworth reminds him that
he was the one who described Woody using those exact words a few days ago.
Woody is hurt by this and comes to the realization that Nuel previously thought that he was a
loser.
Later that night, Nell comes to visit Woody but meets her dad at the door instead, who
tells her that Woody is at school studying for her interview with Yale tomorrow.
Nell quickly heads over to school and finds Woody on the pitch, throwing some balls in
frustration.
Seeing this, she asks him what's wrong, which incites an argument between them.
Woody expresses his frustration, citing how privileged she is for getting a Yale invite,
while his only hope at getting into college is through football.
However, the chances of getting scouted by a college recruit are very slim at this point.
After the rant, he walks away and heads home as Nell stares at him helplessly.
The next day, Woody attends the Yale interview.
There, he meets an examiner who reviews Nell's transcript, which leads him to ask Woody about
his passion for poetry.
This catches Woody off-guard as he tries his best to answer the questions as vaguely as
possible.
However, when the interviewer questions him on modern poetry and modern-day poets, Woody
is left completely speechless.
The examiner looks at him in disappointment and moves to end the interview.
However, Woody gives the question a second thought and cites new-age rappers like Eminem
and 50 Cent as names of modern poets.
The man is intrigued by the unique response, prompting him to ask for further explanation.
Woody goes on to explain that though they execute this in an unconventional way, rappers,
just like poets, express their emotions about life and their experiences, through the use
of words.
To prove his point, he offers the interviewer his earphones to listen to some rap lyrics
via his portable music player.
Ultimately, leaving the examiner impressed.
At the end of the interview, Woody rushes back to school to catch Nell's Homecoming
game.
On arriving at the pitch, he discovers that the school is brutally losing against the
opposing team with a scoreline of 14-0.
A distraught Nell, upon seeing Woody at the sidelines, gets the morale boost she needs
as she makes a number of smart plays that ultimately reduce the gap, bringing the score
to 14-10.
With five seconds to go, the game comes down to one last play.
The ball gets passed to Nell, who sprints and maneuvers past the opposing team's defense.
Ultimately, scoring a touchdown.
Thus, winning the game.
The team picks Nell up and carries him towards the locker room as Woody makes his way through
the stands to meet her.
Before he arrives, a college recruit hands Nuel a card, asking her to call him later.
Nell excitedly shares the news with Woody, who also tells her that the Yale interview
went well.
As the two share a happy moment, the statue lifts the curse, causing them to revert to
their original bodies.
Right then, the team returns and picks Woody up, leading him through the hallway.
Eventually, they drop him off with Breanna, who spontaneously kisses him.
Nell, who was right behind him, sees this and runs off before Woody can get the chance
to explain himself.
On the day of the Homecoming dance, Woody comes to Nell's house but is sent away by
Mrs. Bedworth, who tells him that Nell doesn't want to speak with him.
Left with no alternative, Woody takes Breanna to the dance instead.
While at home, a heartbroken Nell plans to skip the dance, but her dad convinces her
not to, as he gifts her, a prom dress with accessories to match.
Meanwhile, at the party, Woody and Breanna are crowned Homecoming King and Queen, respectively.
The couple then heads to the floor to have their dance.
However, before they get the chance to, they are interrupted by subtle murmurs emanating
from the crowd.
The couple looks over to locate the cause of the uproar and spot Nuel walking in, dressed
in a stunning outfit.
Instantly, Woody leaves Breanna and walks over to Nell.
He shares some romantic words with her, and even cites some Shakespearean lines which
impress her.
Eventually, they walk out of the party as Breanna yells at them in frustration.
The new couple then rendezvous under a tree next to their house.
There, Nell tells him that she got an acceptance letter from Yale, earlier that morning.
Afterwards, they share a kiss as their dads watch them from their respective porches.
The next morning, Nuel tells her parents that she'd be taking a year sabbatical from school.
Her mom faints on hearing the news, while Nuel sprints out of the house and into a car
with Woody, as they drive away together In the End.
