You know what ? The real sad thing in this day and age is that people expect 'realism' and 'drama' in films and sadly they've forgotten the escapism, entertainment and just a good time out watching the screen.
I couldn't believe the low ratings for this movie ! ... I thoroughly enjoyed this ! ...Why ? Because it was FUN !! Whatever you do, DON'T expect a 'deep and meaningful' message, even though that comes across, but it's wrapped up in a very clever role play reversal of mum, dad and the kids chaotic attempt at finding themselves in each others bodies ( a bit of a new take on Tom Hanks 'Big' movie ) The acting of the different role-plays between mother, father, son and daughter was really well done and unlike a lot of comedy I see these days, I had a lot of GOOD laughs ! ( especially the role reversal between the French bulldog and the baby ! ) The concept of too many Christmas movies these days is so cheesy and syrupy but this (?) was just good old fashioned fun and a great fantasy ride and should leave you at the closing credits with at least a smile .... sure is a welcome change from some of the heavy stuff that films are these days.
