Movie Review Summary

If you’ve seen films with bodyswaps in before, don’t worry about that holding you back, there’s plenty to enjoy in this film. The scenes with the newborns are quite funny, especially when it’s Mitch who must do the cleaning up. Thankfully the projectile poo-ing we see at the beginning isn’t a sign of things to come and the film does manage to play to both the physical elements of body transfers (like who shaves who’s pubic hair) and the mental elements (Mitch having to learn how to be a lawyer to save Dave’s neck). The actual events Dave and Mitch go through are the best crafted parts of the movie, with them posing realistic conflicts for their new egos that make them either want to stay in each other’s skin, or go back to who they were.
