~*Opposite Sex Reviews*~
Fox's Summary of Opposite Sex
200 girls. Three boys. Welcome to Evergreen Academy. New from the creators
of Never Been Kissed comes this lighthearted drama that follows a
teenage boy forced to enroll at a formerly all-girls prep school.
Jed Perry (newcomer Milo Ventimiglia) is just wrapping up one of the worst
weeks of his life. The same week he and his dad and brother are moving
from back East to Northern California, his girlfriend totally dumps him! Jed
has vowed to steer clear of girls for a very long time! Unfortunately,
Jed's new school, Evergreen Academy, is making that impossible. Evergreen
just went coed and Jed soon discovers he is one of only three guys enrolled for
the new year!
Jed's male allies are Phil, the academic who is thrilled with the school's high Ivy League
placement; and Cary, who is thrilled by his increased odds of scoring a date. What Jed,
Phil and Cary slowly realize is that the secret world of girls is not at all what they
expected.
As the guys try to blend, they find little sympathy among the mostly resentful girls.
Hostile Stella, an Evergreen legacy, is particularly vocal about not wanting to break with
tradition. Brilliant Kate is initially resistant, but starts to appreciate having a male
perspective on things. Rebellious Miranda, however, adopts Jed as her pet project and
helps the boys adjust to the estrogen-heavy environment.
This funny series doesn't take itself too seriously--unlike some other "teen dramas."
Instead, Opposite Sex takes a slightly tweaked peek into the awkward angst of being a
teenager.
Opposite Sex airs Mondays this summer at 8:00 PM/7:00 C.
Cast: Milo Ventimiglia (Jed), Chris Cousins (Will), Chris L. McKenna
(Rob), Chris Evans (Cary), Kyle Howard (Phil), Margot Finley

Extra TV Review of Opposite Sex
After being dumped by his girlfriend, 15-year-old Jed
Perry has sworn off girls for good. Imagine his
surprise when, after moving to Northern California
with his father and older brother, Jed suddenly finds
himself one of only three males enrolled at the
prestigious Evergreen Academy, a former all-girls
prep school which has just gone co-ed. But there is
trouble in paradise as Jed and his fellow
XY-chromosome allies - the hormone-crazed Carey
and the academically-obsessed Phil -- discover just
what it means to be THE OPPOSITE SEX.
Immediately smitten by the beautiful Miranda Miller,
jed still can't seem to figure out her quirky
personality. But at least Miranda is happy to have
guys around to shake up the status quo at
Evergreen. The same cannot be said for feisty Stella
and her clique, who are hell-bent on upholding the old
guard and making life as difficult as possible for the
three outsiders.
It's the school's savvy guidance
counselor Ms. Gibson (guest star Rena Sofer,
Melrose Place"), however, who inspires Jed to buck
the system and become a pioneer of change at the
school. A funny, sexy twist on the coming-of-age
story, THE OPPOSITE SEX captures that time in life
when changes and challenges occur daily, and the
only way to successfully confront them is to be true
to yourself.
