Watch Vice Versa For Free

Powerful

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While watching this movie, the word "generic" often came to mind, but this was one of the earlier body swap movies (there were a few before it that I haven't seen like 'Like Father, Like Son' and the 1976 version of Freaky Friday), so this was likely the blueprint for some more recent ones.Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage are both great in their roles. Reinhold perfectly portrays childlike emotions, and Savage is hilarious outwitting bullies and treating those he considers beneath him like second class citizens. One of my least favorite clichés takes place with Reinhold in the workplace, like his quirkiness actually getting him ahead. Some of the funniest moments are with the ex-wife/mother reacting to the odd and inappropriate behavior of the pair.

One of the many 80's comedies to deal with kids ending up in an adults body (the genre that recently saw a resurgence with Freaky Friday etc) and it has to be said one of the best. Judge Reinhold was a good casting choice and he is pretty convincing but perhaps a bit to over the top and not as subtle as Tom Hanks in Big. Fred Savage is excellent playing older and he probably has as many funny lines if not more than Reinhold.It's easy to be cynical about a film like this but if you watch it for what it is a bit of bright breezy escapism it succeeds in what it set out to do. Personally I'd recommend it most to 80's nostalgia fans or those looking for a fun film for the family as it's fun for the adults and the kids. For the 80's fans out there this is probably in 2nd tier of 80's films not a classic like Big, Ferris Bueler or the mighty Breakfast Club but certainly fun and a bit of a guilty pleasure like Mannequin etc.6/10 - Funny, entertaining and doesn't overstay it's welcome.

Precious, predictable comedy has overworked father Judge Reinhold and pre-teen son Fred Savage switching personalities after getting hold of one of those movie-formula ancient mystical artifacts. Hoary premise plays like just another "Freaky Friday" retread, however it gives Reinhold the opportunity to really cut loose, and he has fun (although his overacting is shameless). Savage, then-star of TV's "The Wonder Years", fares even better, doing his wiser-than-his-age shtick with letter-perfect ease (he's a natural). There are some laughs, although the whole thing bottoms out in the final stretch with a ridiculous car-chase. Smart viewers will have bailed out by then. *1/2 from ****

I liked this movie. I thought it was cute. I think it was just what people needed. A nice little family movie with a bit of a cheesy plot that you can watch for a movie night with kids or if you're babysitting and the kid is wearing you out and you know a movie will calm him down. I don't care if anybody disses Vice Versa. I liked it. Plus when I first saw it I had already had a crush on Fred Savage...
