Audience Says

A great cast and some moderately heartwarming moments aren't enough to make up for Family Switch's unimaginative take on the overused body-swap gimmick.

“Family Switch” is a Dad Joke of a movie, genially corny but enjoying its corniness so much that it invites us to enjoy it, too.

“Family Switch” has bits and pieces of amusement, but mostly you want to swap it for a better movie.

It’s simply hard to feel all that deeply for characters so flat and sweet they might as well be gingerbread people, resolving problems that barely seemed to exist in the first place.

3/5

It's a film that manages to entertain the whole family with a good cast and a comedy that works for most of the story. [Full Review in Spanish]

This is a story, for all its predictability and faults, that still manages to provide audiences with a sprinkle of holiday cheer

The very familiar premise of body swapping is written until the wheels fall off. Is it a fun trip... sure. Does it go anywhere... no.
