So how many movies have you seen where a girl becomes a guy and a guy becomes a girl? Many, right? Well this movie is no different and is just like the rest. Jessica (McAdams) is a an arrogant teenager who loves hanging out with her girlfriends. One day she steals a pair of voodoo earrings from a store which in turn out to have super powers. The earrings, if worn by 2 different people, would ensure that their bodies get exchanged but the soul remains the same. Jessica's body gets exchanged with a low-life criminal (Schneider) who manages to find one of the missing earrings. Jessica now needs to live in a mans body and needs to convince her friends of her story and take their help in finding her true body back. The movie is a load of utter trash and is not even remotely funny. The only funny bit is watching Schneider in being a girl, not cause its funny but because he makes a fool of himself.

Bollywood would never die without giving up on trying to make a typical Hollywood movie. What does a typical Hollywood movie comprise of? Fast cars, hot girls, loads of action, high-tech gadgets and a plot that has little relevance or sense. Race 2 has effectively done each and every one of those in the worst possible manner ever. When you have playing cards that have 'thermal sensors that tell reflect on Deepika's sunglasses what cards her opponent has' and sports cars with 'parachutes that automatically trigger if it senses a freefall', you immediately know what an amazing movie this is going to be. The original movie had cars involved in it to a higher degree but it seems that in the second movie the makers were far too involved in showing Deepika and Jacquelines body to bother about the vehicles. Armaan Malik (Abraham) is a million-dollar tycoon who has made his money doing shady dealings. Ranvir Singh (Khan) is a con artist who has an idea for which he needs funding and who better to approach than Armaan himself. Armaan buys the idea not knowing that Ravnir's main motive is to dis-repute him and take revenge from him for murdering his girlfriend. The movie is a joke for the word 'movie' and is a disgraceful attempt at trying to be cool. From gadgets that are simply unimaginative and outlandish, gripping action that was missing throughout and a plot line that was far too twisted to be realistic, the movie is a complete wash. The only reason to watch would be the long-legged women but I am sure that cannot be the sole incentive to ever watch this movie. Avoid!
Thumbs up: Good loads of eye candy
