One . . . more . . . time: it was all a dream that Lizzie had. At
the end, it's clear that Matt has no idea at all what she is
talking about. Sorry, them's the conditions that prevail. Catoose.

If you watch more than one episode, Matt often will pull pranks or
otherwise try to make his sister mad at him, as younger siblings
sometimes do.
So when Lizzie asks matt if it all was real, and he says something
like "was what real?" it could very easily have been Matt simply
trying to irritate his sister by making her think the whole
experience was a dream.
Or maybe it was something that they quickly forgot as reality
reoriented itself back to "normal". Or maybe Matt's male mind had
to block out his memories of being a girl.
The facts, however, are that they both woke up at the exact same
time after falling out of bed.
They both run out to meet the other sibling, and are both happy to
see each other to the amazement of the parents.
The kids don't get along, yet here, in the middle of the night,
they do.
Sure it might have been a shared dream, but the only way we would
know for sure is to see what happens the next day. If the changes
they made in each other's lives stuck, we would know for sure.
And since the episode ended, we don't get to see it.
It's actually very clever on the part of the writers letting them
leave it all up in the air as to whether it really happened.
But since they both woke up at the same time and ran into the hall
to meet the other sibling, it clearly appears to have happened,
despite Matt's response. And also note he never says it DIDN"T
happen.
He just pretends not to know, or doesn't remember what his sister
is talking about, and lets her know in a slightly taunting manner.
So whether a shared dream, or a real experience, yes it happened to
them!
Antagonistic siblings don't wake up and hug in the middle of the
night for no reason!
Does it really matter though?
It was wonderfully acted and imaginative for a tween oriented
series episode!
Why not just enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a TV show.
Dream or not, It's still fake, so what difference does it make?

consider the medium.
Its a Disney Channel sitcom designed for teen and preteen children.
Given that, it was imaginative and funny.
A male character ENJOYING his stay in a female body is VERY
extraordinary in the world of movies and TV! Especially when the
character is a young boy!
At TV tome, there are reviews by (non transform oriented) fans of
the show that both proclaim the high quality of the actress
portraying a boy in her body and the particular episode in
question. At the same time other reviews point out the concept of
transgender swaps as being odd and risque.
Calling it lame doesn't seem to fit the episode in question.
Were you expecting the Disney folks to allow a 15 yr old girl to
whip off her clothes? They didn't even do that in the major motion
picture Switch with the adult Ellen Barkin. Compare that film to
this little episode and the Disney episode stands out as a far
better entertainment value.
I for one appreciate the effort they made.
You and the other naysayers have a right to your opinion, but so do
those of us who appreciate the skills and effort put into making
this episode better than it could have been.
BY just saying it's "not worth watching", you disrespect anyone who
thinks that it is. Present your evidence like a real reviewer if
you really think so. Just because you say it's lame doesn't make it
so.
Tell us why you think it is, or don't bother us with an opinion
that has nothing to back it up.
Labeling something lame without backing it up is rather lame
itself!
Catoose, above us both, at least put in something from the show to
back up his statements.

Lightened up & enjoy the show for what it was a very light hearted
body swap, maybe it wa a dream, it doesn't matter that part of the
show was tacked on to make it accetable to uptight adults. Its a
funny show ith Matt enjoyign hiding behind Lizzies's sweet personal
& getting away with pranks & being taaken as a big kid by
especially older boys instead of being looked down as a young unk.
I think Matt eventually enjoys being lizzy & playing pranks &
fooling everyone & being bigger. I don't think he wants to stay
that way but he's enjoying the day. Lizzy as Matt doesn't like it
as much but does get pleasure in tracking down the one who really
did the prank & also she cn understand her brother better. I think
they both like each other bette fter the day. AND I think they
owuld have done alright if they would have been switched. not great
but all right. In some ways they were starting to be each other -
like Lizzie, understanding Matt's non verbal friend. Seize the day!

Yo,dawg.Chill.Here's the skinny.Given the fact that its a Disney
sitcom,the episode potrays a number of lame senarios regarding the
siblings screaming at each other after the swap.A total clique I
might add.You can see this same reaction over and over again in
movies like freaky friday and other shows.For kids,uninteresting
puns are not appealing.Besides,its totally freaky seeing Lizzie
acting like a lunatic.Uneducational to the kids man.As if the
viewers would enjoy a moments peace of the so-called moral of being
in others shoes.I think not.Too clique my brother.Besides,you're a
believer that's cool.I say it's lame cause to me it's lame and
cause i'm straight to the point.To explain even further may be a
dent in one's pschy.Remeber dawg,this is a word life.Peace.

A cliche is just something that has become commonplace. often that
is because it feels right. Waking up in someone else's body would
likely make anyone emit a scream of shock, and also of dismay if
you had a really good body you liked and no longer had it! Freaky
friday was originally a book and a movie 30 years ago and after 2
remakes and a male to male sequel, the scream of surprise may well
be a cliche but what other response would you prefer? Laughter?
The episode goes beyond simply making some gags and jokes about the
swap.
Like the brother liking being his sister, a girl.
Like both protecting their sibling against bullies.
LIke her older friends not able to see that "Lizzie" is not just
acting a little more strange than usual that day.
Like Lizzie telling her brother's younger friends about the swap
and them instantly realizing that explains the abnormal,
unMatt-like behavior that day and believing her/him.
Even the ending, which leaves the viewer wondering if it happend to
the characters or if it was a dream, is way beyond the norm. Any
ending which can be interpreted so diversly by so many as this one
is a superb example of high quality writing!
Where you see cliches, we see inventive ways of dealing with them!
Maybe you need to watch it again without getting focused on
cliches. Focus on the good scripting and acting instead!

and by the way this cliche ridden book has just been published as a
novel for the tween market!
I doubt they chose the episosde because many people feel as you do
about the episode. It was voted as one of the best episodes by fans
of the show a year or so ago for good solid reasons!
But I guess there are people who will want to tear down something
just because someone says they enjoyed it.
Just look at all the cliches in Everyone loves Raymond. Yet is is a
superb comedy BECAUSE of the cliches and how they deal with them.
Not that this series is on that level, of course.
BUt for the level that it is at, a young teen disney sitcom, it is
a show with a lot of quality and heart!
