Kid was acceptable but the rest was beyond stupid. I kept asking when is this going to be over? Not one to give up I fast forwarded 15 minutes or so honestly didn't need to see it to figure out this plot. Freaky Friday, hot tip watch that instead!
This movie is SO FUNNY! It is awesome. I watched this with my family and we couldn't stop laughing. There are a lot of really funny scenes and it is just great. The story and plot is good and makes sense for a movie about body switching anyway. And the acting is really good too. Watching how the kid in the father's body acts and how the father acts in the kid's body is so fun and hilarious. There are some uses of foul language, but not a lot. (Just a warning for people who are sensitive to it or have young kids.) But other than that a great movie for the family that is sure to get lots of laughs.
Even though there are a lot of other movies with a similar plot and idea, it NEVER gets old. I really like and find body swap movies (or TV show episodes) just absolutely HILARIOUS! So if you like these types of movies I totally recommend.

Watch this movie if you have absolutely nothing else to do for the day. And also you have not watched Freaky Friday. (but if you have not watched Freaky Friday then you are better off watching that movie first and forget about this one).
Any how the plot is very slow; you will find some key moments rushed way too quickly wile some segments are stretched bit too far.
Plot is completely predictable and there is no element of surprise at all.
I did not find myself laughing out loud, not even a giggle, nor a chuckle at any point of the movie. It just felt bland and tasteless for the most part.
I guess they started production late, with too little budget and rushed to complete by holiday season.
all in all, Would I recommend this movie to a friend? Absolutely not! .

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS & SPECIALS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.
In this film Mitch Taylor is a workaholic attorney and widowed dad to a 12-year-old son, Robbie. Lately, Mitch is in way over his head, as he tries to be a dad, please his hard-edged boss and become partner at his firm, while dealing with an impatient girlfriend. His son Robbie has problems of his own. The school bully has made Robbie his latest target, he tries not to be a total nerd in front of the girl he likes, and to make things worse, he was unwillingly cast as lead role in the Christmas pageant. Robbie really want his dad to go out of his way this year to make Christmas all it's cracked up to be. Mitch and Robbie definitely think the other has it pretty easy— until a mysterious toy causes them to switch bodies. They are forced to find out what it's like to spend the holidays in each other's shoes.
There was zero to like this film. The plot is a rip-off of "Freaky Friday" and "Freaky Friday" was remade TWICE and they were both much better than this crap.
Billy Baldwin does not have enough charm or innocence to pull this off! Those were 2 things you need to have in order to make this film seem somewhat plausible! He comes across in this like "Someone who is mentally Challenged". His co-star Michael Campion only comes across slightly better!
DOn't waist your time on this. Its a huge bore!

We rented this movie not knowing much about it but we absolutely loved it! All of the actors are excellent and, when Dad and son swap bodies, every second is so enjoyable! We laughed and laughed! This is the type of family holiday movie that should become an annual event on TV, like "It's A Wonderful Life". The world needs more clever, fun, enjoyable, family-oriented movies! There are tender, heart-warming, tear-jerking moments, too, which proves how awesome the actors are, esp. William Baldwin and Michael Campion. (This movie is not corny at all.) We highly recommend this movie to anyone who has a sense of humor and loves fun holiday movies! Great family fun! P.S. Extra Bonus: Tom Arnold! We have seen him in so many films and thoroughly enjoy his characters! He is very talented, very funny, very underrated!
