When a middle-aged serial killer nicknamed the Blissfield Butcher stabs Millie with an ancient dagger, the two swap bodies. Millie learns that she has just 24 hours to reverse the curse, or she is stuck in his body for good. Body-swap comedies are nothing new, but this slasher version is safe, formulaic, boring, and unfunny beyond belief. The real Millie is a nerdy high school student who is bullied by students and teachers alike. When the serial killer Millie puts on a red leather jacket, she becomes the most awesome girl in school, who obviously kills all the bullies and no one else. Vince Vaughn as a teenage girl is about as much fun as a real serial killer.
