This movie follows the adventures of a high schooler named Chris (Kirk Cameron) who has the hots for a girl at school who is dating a jock. His dad (Dudley Moore) is a doctor who wants his son to get into a good school. Through some chemicals experimented on by his best friend, Chris and his father switch bodies and hijinks ensue!

The movie also stars Sean Astin (The Goonies) and Catherine Hicks (7th Heaven, She's Out Of Control, Child's Play).

Hmm. I haven't seen this one, but it must have been one of the umpteen body-switching movies. lol

It got the jump start. It came out the year before "Big" and "Vice Versa".

I haven't seen it since it first came out. I only got the idea to make a thread for it because I saw this morning that it was available ON DEMAND. I was going to post saying I was going to watch it, but there wasn't a thread. I had thought there was! Lol.

By the way, the you tube link for the trailer isn't working, so I got another one to watch!

Vice Versa was not so good. How was this one?

**Barrybgb** · 07-08-2011, 01:42 PM

To be honest, I haven't seen it since it was first out on video. I haven't watched it ON DEMAND yet.

Okay, I'll look forward to hearing about it later.

They removed it from On Demand before I ever got to watch it. Bummer. Hope I can find it cheap somewhere.

Sorry to hear it. Sucks when they do that.

**Melis** · 07-16-2014, 09:22 PM

So many body switching movies in the 80s.

Yeah, "Big" being the best. I only saw this once, so I might think differently of this one if I see it again. Interesting casting too. Dudley Moore and Kirk Cameron as father and son? Lol.
