    Liked it as a child, less so as an adult. Fred Savage was cool though back then!

    the best one out of the bodie switching moives of the 80's

    In similar vein to Freaky Friday, Big and Like Father, Like Son, this is a movie about body switching. Cute performances by Judge and Fred.

    Yet another bodyswap film in which a so-called comic actor thinks lolloping around with a vacant stare and saying "dude" a lot is acting, and it has exactly the same plot as all the others. As they say is Texas, "Big" is better.

    I was excited to revisit this film as I enjoyed it so much in my childhood. I must say I didn't recall all the bad language or adult themes, coming from Fred Savage no less! My how times have changed, but I still appreciated how well this remake was done, especially when so man...( read more)y movies about switching places have been done. Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage play their perspective characters to a tee, which is really the highlight. You actually believe they are residing in the new body!

    freaky friday but the dad version. a funny ecentric film with two likeable leads reinhold and savage.

    this time a vice president of big company and all round big shot (reinhold) has his son (savage) over for a few days, when they come across an oriental skull which switches th...( read more)em into each others bodies after they made a wish.

    reinhold is ever so funny playing a child, and savage playing the overprotective and in control parent.

    a really fun loving and light-hearted 80's movie, one not to miss, a huge suprise to my eyes. with sincerity and funny lines and stunts its worth s look.

    Very nice movie, great acting performance of all the actors.

    Father/son fun. Fred Savage is such a stickler as the dad.
  • March 6, 2009
    This was a funny film but also very good. It was funny to see the son and his dad switch places.
