Editorial Reviews

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital Stereo ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Pamela Segall gives a winning performance in this gender-bending comedy about a girl who wants to be a boy and gets her wish. 14-year-old Milly Niceman's 'deepest, darkest heart's desire' is to be a boy, as she feels that boys' lives are simpler and more interesting than girls' lives. After her best friend's brother sells her an 'eclipse powder,' she wakes up in the middle of the night to discover that she has grown a boy's thing. When she becomes a boy, calling herself Willy, she finds that her girlfriend has now developed an amorous interest in him/her. Willy also makes friends with a handicapped boy named Alfie (Eric Gurry), who also confesses his 'unnatural desires' for Willy. Finding that being a boy is as confusing as being a girl, Willy wishes upon a star to be changed back to a girl. ...Something Special ( Willy / Milly ) ( I Was a Teenage Boy )

This review is from: Something Special ( Willy / Milly ) ( I Was a Teenage Boy ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - United Kingdom ] (DVD)

The DVD I purchased was new ... but the opening credits music was replaces w/ some stupid song! We LOVE the opening music on the original VHS! Also, this isn't "DVD" quality, sort of looks copied from VHS (a worse copy than the one I already own) - there are occasional "film" damage spots in upper right of the video.
Still a must have movie though!
