Sam

2015 · 100 min

A light, silly body-swap comedy that plays its gender-role lessons broadly and ends on a sweet romantic note.

Tagline: How do you get even with a womanizer? Make him a woman!
Overview: The journey of young, handsome New York City playboy Sam Wellman - man’s man and professional woman hater – and his relationship with Doc, his best (and only!) friend. One strange, drunken night Sam stumbles into an Old Curiosity Shop, where the elderly proprietor offers him tea along with sage advice on treasuring “the female of the species”. Sam awakens the next morning to find himself transformed into a woman.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, romantic and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, gender, love, redemption
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
