* MsFanservice: As RogerEbert noted, it's terribly ironic how much the film ''[[SubvertedTrope subverts]]'' this trope for Jessica, considering how most members of the audience would probably have preferred MUCH more screen time of Clive checking out (in various ways) being in a sexy young woman's body--and much less of the reverse....

* BillingDisplacement: Rachel McAdams, after the first ten minutes, has almost no screentime until the climax. However, most subsequent releases and home videos give her second or third billing (due in no small part to her breakout role in ''Film/MeanGirls''), while the movie proper credits her as "introducing" following most of the main cast.
