Before long the whole thing degenerates into lame farce.

The invention flags, but the Edwards combination of lust and lustre keeps us watching.

Blake Edwards goes the gender-bender route again but this film is definitely no VICTOR/VICTORIA; Ellen Barkin is good, though.

I can't understand why Switch has gotten such low ratings!??? This movie is fantastic. It will have legs forever. I KNOW my movies. My goal is to see everything EVEr filmed. I probably should of been a movie critic. In any case, Ellen Barkin is one of the sexiest things I have EVER SEEN on screen in this movie. The plot is awesome. One of my favorites and I suggest everyone sees it!

Mildly entertaining gender switch movie where the man is made into a woman. Amazing that after days still couldn't walk in high heals at all. I mean I have never tried it but get real. I finally agree with the professional critics on this one.
