    This is a funny comedy. George Burns is a classic comedian and is great in this. A good 80's comedy. Some good laughs and a decent story. Basically about a old man who gets his wish to be 18 again. Worth a watch.

    The story has been done many times before, I prefer Vice Versa over this one. Not really worth watching.

    It's more like another body swapping movie again. I got to admit that this is way better Freaky Friday the old and new one. Reason why it has a different plot that is swapping bodies on men instead of women for a change. This had a great story as other say can learn lessons when ...( read more)switching bodies to hear what other ppl really say about the person. The acting was pretty good providing with funny and sad moments. Oh and the other thing to mention that grampa in this film has a resemblence to Hugh Heffer only to the part when chooses a girlfriend and has lot of money. Very good film to watch well mainly to the males though.
