I thought Cleo/Leo was one of the best Canadian made movies around. Its not only hilarious, has a good cast, but is so romatic. It is a bit cheesy but I love the plot and this movie. When a sexist man is thrown in the river by his disgusted girlfriends,when he comes out of the water he doesn't realize it but he is now a woman! From there on out, what a ride! Definitely a must see movie for the romantic at heart.

The first time I saw "Cleo Leo" was the very same night I saw the commercial for Blake Edward's "Switch". This cheaply made B-studio production about a man forced to suffer the company of men as pig-headed and himself, reborn as a beautiful woman puts the Edward's star spin on the same tale to shame. Not just more fun and sexy it is without question the smarter and more bold of the two. It deals with issues of sexuality that the later film goes well out of its way to avoid. I distroyed my copy accidentally years ago and still can't forgive myself

Jane Hamilton(Veronica Hart) does a swell job as the former man who has been switched into a female body. Yes,this film is much better than "Switch" the Big Bucks hollywood Film ;)
