Given the low budget and cliched story I went in with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. It was a decent movie in my opinion. Nothing Oscar worthy, to be sure, but it was a charming and sweet romantic comedy. I feel it is more similar to its predecessor "Goodbye Charlie" than Goodbye Charlie's remake of 1991's "Switch." Like GC, the characters are very likable and Natalie Knapp turned in a good performance (I really feel she had fun with the role). "Sam" manages to produce a few chuckles here and there, but just didn't seem to get me to have any big laughs. GC is probably the better film overall, but "Sam" comes very close.On the other hand, I HATED "Switch." I felt that it was unfunny (and at times borderline offensive) and I thought all the characters in it were completely unlikable. The ending not only felt like it was decided on at the last minute; but Ellen Barken felt totally out of character and I just think it was a cop-out. Goodbye Charlie's ending, conversely was comedic and a good fit for the movie. "Sam" goes a completely different route than it predessors and choices the romantic ending and I felt that it fit nicely.There is one area I feel that Sam beats out both Goodbye Charlie and Switch, that is in pacing. GC and Switch have a 116 and 103 minute run time respectively, but both films (imho) drag in the middle making both films feel longer than that. Sam is only 100 minutes long and feels about that long too.All that said, the movie does have some weak spots. Some of the editing feels amateurish. It directly cuts from Sam Leaving the Curiosity shop to her waking female in the movie. It almost feels like it is switching to a different character. It needed a better transition to show that Sam had been transformed. Many of the cuts between scene felt like a commercial was about to come up rather than a single seemless movie. The film also touches on the romantic feeling Sam's assistant has for his male self, but it never develops that. Also, some of the minor actors and actresses didn't feel like they were trying very hard. Finally the movie is IS very cliche. It has the new girl getting a makeover trope and follows all three laws of gender bending . Overall, I believe they are minor issues.Anyway, I was happy with this movie and would recommended it to any crossdreamer who liked Goodbye Charlie, Switch (even though I didn't like Switch myself), or is just looking for something to watch/ crossdream fuel.
