Tropes for the film:

  • The Film of the Book: Based on Michael Graubert Levin's Janine and Alex, Alex and Janine.
  • Glasses-and-Ponytail Coverup: Supermodel Janine Adams is easily able to pass as Alex Burrows by donning Alex's glasses and wearing her hair black. Even their own family members are fooled.
  • Identical Stranger: Alex Burrows is an average American teen who looks identical to teen supermodel Janine Adams, except that she wears glasses. They're both played by Lawson.
  • Swapped Roles: Alex discovers that she's identical to a famous Model, Janine. The two swap lives for a week - Alex taking a stab at being a model, while Janine gets to experience high school for the first time.
