Family Switch is a fair comedy film that has a family theme message for the holidays and humor that is cheesy and fun. Its Freaky Friday with a family concept. A story about a family thats distant and growing apart. And few days before christmas on a day of planetary alignment. They all wished to be the other. Which they all switch bodies. While trying to live the others life and seeing what there struggle is.
It is a cute and fun family film for the holidays. The cast did okay and had fun with there roles. The humor can be a bit cheesy with iffy dialogue as well. It is a film that entertains.

Is this a masterpiece ? No.
Does it deserve the bad critics? No.
Let's take the movie for what it is: a light family movie you can totally enjoy during the period of Christmas.
I watched the movie with my kids yesterday (10 and 8 years) and my wife.
We all enjoyed. The jokes are not always crazy good but good enough to make us laugh and have a good time.
The movie is obviously predictable but still, it did not bother me/us that much.
I would still recommend to people with a young family. It's light, entertaining and as mentioned funny.
Even for us as parents, there are some interesting messages (again, it's not deep but still, some nice reminders here and there that I enjoyed).
Give it a shot unless light family comedies aren't your thing.

Seems like this movie has a lot of bad reviews on here, but I completely disagree. I went in with little expectations, because unfortunately Netflix movies are hit and miss. But I liked it. Yes, the switching of bodies has been done a lot, but I thought the writers and actors did a great job of differentiating it from other storylines. It's wholesome and family friendly. There are only so many times you can watch the same family holiday movies. The casting was spot on and the actors seemed like they were having fun. It's definitely one I could watch again.
I appreciated that the sister was the jock and brother the nerdy smart guy. It's usually the other way around.

The premise is fairly familiar - parents switch bodies with their children, and the structure is exactly what you would expect it to be, but what separates it from the films it references such as Big, 17 Again, Freaky Friday, and 13 Going on 30 (also starring Jennifer Garner) is that they gave room to let its characters breathe and apply a degree of verisimilitude to buy into the concept and the conflict. Right from the start, it appears that the people who worked on this had the mindset of either to go big or to go home, as a lot of it is fairly over-the-top, and comes across desperate to get a laugh from the viewer. The humor has its moments of attempted cleverness, but there is a lot of lowbrow comedy that diminishes the efforts to be smart. What doesn't work in the favor of the picture, is that the premise is presented three times in the story, and because the pace of it is very fast, and they're constantly trying to go for big laughs, there is not a clear enough focus and not enough time to invest in the relationships and conflict. I have not read the story this is based off of, so I cannot judge it as an adaptation, as a motion picture though I would have to describe this as being average at best, I probably would have rated it lower had it been released in theatres and I had to pay more than I do for Netflix monthly to watch it.
Yes we have seen the concept of intergenerational body swaps innumerable times. Yes there are the usual tropes. Yes it can be silly.
But this movie is actually infused with the spirit of Christmas.
We teared. We laughed. We smiled. We nodded knowingly. We laughed hysterically. We felt warm and happy at the end of it.
All the leads were good but I found Jennifer Garner and Emma Myers particularly good. Ms. Garner really showed her comic skills.
This will not make best picture but it will make my annual list of Christmas movies. After all if you can't get sentimental or mawkish at Christmas then when?

- PatzerCC could not be called up to the national US soccer team in the manner portrayed. This is an honor only really provided to the highest level professionals. Given the implicit skill level, she could potentially be called to the under 18 squad, but even then it would be a short term and seasonal honor, not a job you move away permanently for. A better/more likely scenario would have been the classic college scholarship route, or a local pro team coming seeking to sign her.
