  2. Hi room 13 this is Jacob from room 4.
    My favorite part of the movie was when the girl switched clothes with Mr Andrew. It is cool because if i’m being honest I haven’t seen him with uniform on ever. I also liked how T-J swapped with Mr J. GOODJOB!

  3. Kia ora Room 13

    My name is Amin and I’m from room 2. I loved your movie because of the funny gimmick of whenever you do a secret hand shake you change perspectives from child to adult. My favourite part is when all the children realised that being an adult isn’t as fun as we all think.

  4. Hi Room 13

    What a cool as movie! I loved how you had the guts to go up to one of the teachers and make a handshake with them. It is quite difficult to become an adult and it is hard to control yourself when you’re an adult. My favourite part of the movie was when the girls drank the coffee and didn’t like it. I honestly agree with the girls.

  5. WOW!!
    Great job room 13 this is Manaia going to Pt England School.I really liked your guys video on switching places and the thing is that it is hard to be an adult because of what they do for us kids to put clothes and food on the table.But the thing is that being a kid is way cooler because you get to see your friends when growing up and other more thing.My favourite part of your amazing effort that you put in was the end were you switch back with the teachers that was really cool to see yous have fun and hope you have a good day goodbye!!!!

    1. Yeah it’s pretty cool to be a grown-up it’s fun I hope you have fun at your house here at school. I’m gonna have some fun at the school and I have one question. What are you coming to the school? And have some good time in your house and an actual school. Have a good day bye -bye by TJ room, 13

    Your movie was one of our faves! Your movie was amazing and we loved the idea of a magic handshake. We have been trying to use the magic handshake on Mrs Tino ever since we saw your movie. We want to swap with her so that we can drive her cool car, wear her crazy earrings and so that we will know the code to the school pool to swim at anytime of the day HAHA! Keep up the good work.

  22. Hi rm 13!
    My favourite part about the film is when Emilee says “This is the life!”. I think I know this film it’s from a actual movie! The movies name is called freaky Friday. I can see my friends Emilee, Nuku, Caylee, Ava-lee. I can see me in the background in the intro and when the kids were sitting on the mat. Now I have a question, Did you guys cut the scenes for the swapping part?

  23. hi room 13 my favourite part is when
    Ava-lee and TJ and Emilee was telling them to please switch back to switch back into kids and I saw me in the background from ave.

  24. Oh Room 13 what a splendid job you all did with your movie! Wow! I loved how you mixed some slightly older members of PES into the film. Without injury too I might add ;). I love the your story AND especially the way you told it. Your presenters did a top job too hooking the audience into watching this amazing movie. Ms Scanlan does it again, you are gifted Miss! Alofa tele atu Potu 13. Strive to Succeed!

  25. Hello my friends I really enjoyed watching the switch. I was also happy to see my friends on the big screen in the movie theatre, the funny part of this movie was when Emilee drank the coffee and spat it back out. Well done room 13 for making a funny movie.
