When family members switch bodies with each other during a rare planetary alignment, their hilarious journey to find their way back to normal will bring them closer together than they ever thought possible.
Family Switch is if you took Freaky Friday (2003) and made it into a Christmas movie…look what do you really want me to say about this movie?
Emma Myers turns in a decent performance, Ed Helms is also quite decent here as well, but Jennifer Garner and Brady Noon fall behind unfortunately. Oh and for some reason Rivers Cuomo is in this movie (funnily enough his character is named Lake) plus Howie Mandel is here as well so that's neat I guess.
I think this movie would have been fine enough if it came out back in the early 2000s, by now all of the plot points in the movie have been explored far better in other films. The movie has its best moments when it's focused on the family just bonding together rather than the comedy (which is by far the weakest part about it.)
Family Switch is basically yet another Netflix movie that will be talked about for a week or two before being forgotten about, you can absolutely do so much worse on the platform that doesn't really do the movie in favors.
Family Switch is available on Netflix.
