Warning: Spoilers!
This movie is about a woman named Amanda who is given a magic mirror by her grandmother that when used, flips the world into it's opposite. She wants to run for mayor, but doesn't stand a chance because her opponent is a man named Bret who is set to win in a landslide because their town is a cartoonish version of ours where she doesn't stand a chance because she is a woman.
My main problem with the movie is the cinematography. The colors are too perfect, and so is the lighting in every shot. I felt like there needed to be a drastic tone or color shift when they changed worlds. Instead, the whole movie is the same style. All the interiors were way too clean and perfect, and felt like they were a set and not a place people live or work.
As for the story itself, I felt it needed a third, foil character wasn't at the extremes of misogynistic or chauvinist. For example, the transgender server at the honkers/peckers bar. Or, really any adult who has their life together and treats people like humans. In the end, Amanda wins the mayor job by a landslide in the woman ruled world, and Bret the same in the man ruled world. Amanda quits to give Bret control, and Bret does the same back in their world. Which doesn't solve any of the issues either gender would have in a world which they are a joke.
Plot summary
A woman and man compete in an unusual race for mayor when gender roles magically reverse.

Has some moments, but not that shocking to anyone online whose been on reddit and read about the struggle for equality
If only
So the premise, and some content, is great - Showing what differences men/women go through. But it still smacks of a man's view. Guys don't just punch each other in the shoulder - which seems to happen a lot in this movie. The premise is awesome, I just wish it would've been more realistic.
See you on this flip
Decent watch, could watch again, but can't say I'd recommend.
Collette Wolfe and Sam Huntington are a delight and funny pair for this story, but the movie is set in a mayoral race with a Freaky Friday premise on the world's genders.
The problem with that is it's a lot of message: everything in the movie ends up being a commentary on society. Some of it is amusing as hell, but it ranges from wildly unfounded to obvious to "why the hell is this what you're focusing on".
It's not a bad movie, just know what you're going to watch here.
