Amanda and Bret have differing ideas on how their small town should be run. Upon the sudden death of a local politician, they both jump in the race for mayor – Amanda hoping to protect her frail grandmother, Estelle, by incorporating her dangerously outlying house into town.

Until one night in a heated argument, Bret snatches an antique mirror – belonging to Estelle – from Amanda’s hands. She wishes that men could behave like women for a change. In a flash of light, Amanda and Bret are transported into an alternate reality where gender roles are reversed and women run the show.

Bret wakes up to discover he now owns several cats, is no longer the owner of his company, and gets heckled by women construction workers on his way to Hooters – which is now Peckers Restaurant. Bret’s goal: Get the hell out of this world. Fast.

Amanda learns that Estelle now swears like a sailor, the city manager is her Aunt Ruth – who is helping run her campaign – which is looking much more likely to win. Amanda’s goal: Do everything she can to stay here where she has a better chance of protecting Estelle. But not everything is as she expected; is this the utopian world Amanda wished for?

The result is a commercial, entertaining, and well-crafted finished product that feels as if it is poised to almost effortlessly leap to the big screen. -Script Shark
