Switched (2020)

Switched: Directed by John K.D. Graham. With Miya Horcher, Madeleine Byrne, Denise Richards, John Schneider. Tired of being bullied, Cassandra Evans prays that her nemesis, Katie Sharp, the queen bee of social media, would know what it’s like to walk a day in her shoes. Her prayer is answered in an unexpected way when they get “Switched.”

“I have seen all of them through the years. Body swap movies are not new. I can count at least 30 in the US alone in the last nearly 100 years. Everyone knows the big ones. Freaky Friday, Big, Vice Versa. They are formulaic and predictable for sure. And Switched doesnu0026#39;t do much to break out of the mold. But the two actresses playing the leads and the actors playing the parents make you run the gamut of emotions in this outing. You really can, if you allow yourself to get past the u0026quot;oh itu0026#39;s another body swap movie where they learn about each other and themselves in the processu0026quot; thought processes, to really get sucked into the lives of these two girls and start rooting for them. It has itu0026#39;s problems and loses some points just due to the fact that it HAS been done to death. But overall this is an enjoyable movie and worth the watch.”
