"Dr. Jack Hammond" (Dudley Moore) is an extremely successful surgeon at a private hospital who is constantly pressuring his son "Chris Hammond" (Kirk Cameron) to follow in his footsteps. For his part, Chris just wants to have fun in high school and is especially interested in dating the prettiest girl there by the name of "Lori Beaumont" (Camille Cooper). One particular problem with this is that Lori has a boyfriend named "Rick Anderson" (Micah Grant) who has an extreme dislike for Chris in particular. That being said, things quickly spiral out-of-control when Dr. Hammond accidentally drinks a potion which cause his consciousness to be switched with that of his son--and both of them have to function in each other's world. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay comedy which had a couple of enjoyable scenes and, by and large, passed the time fairly well. The problem, however, is that there were a couple of key scenes that simply fell flat at certain critical moments. And it's because of these wasted opportunities that I have rated this film accordingly. Average.
