Ryan O'Rourke is a Senior News Writer at Collider with a specific interest in all things adult animation, video game adaptations, and the work of Mike Flanagan. Bashir Salahuddin, Xosha Roquemore, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, and Paul Scheer round out the cast. Making the family comedy all the sweeter is a strong supporting cast including Netflix favorites like Army of the Dead and Heart of Stone star Schweighöfer alongside comedian and FUBAR alum Fortune Feimster. Producer Lawrence Gray previously told Collider's Steve Weintraub how important it was to have everyone swapped both because it generated the film's funniest moments, such as Matthias Schweighöfer scrambling to care for a baby dog and dog baby that are "spending too much time together," while still keeping the family relationship drama at the forefront. Together with McG, they've taken the body swap angle to a new level beyond obvious comparisons like Freaky Friday with a whole family being involved down to the baby and the dog. They're bound and determined to get through the day, however, and hopefully, they'll come out on the other side with the spell broken and their family dynamic stronger than ever.īased on Amy Krouse-Rosenthal's book Bedtime For Mommy, Family Switch features a screenplay penned by Finding Dory scribe Victoria Strouse and Black Adam writer Adam Sztykiel. Whether it's Jess trying to teach CC how to "be a boss" in the office or Wyatt despairing at his dad's awkward prom moment with his crush, they experience some growing pains as they become more in tune with each other's lives than ever. With a reference to Garner's previous film 13 Going on 30, they realize the severity, and hilarity, of their situation.įamily Switch is all about family as the Walkers try their best to navigate each other through the most important moments of their life. As the holidays approach, they take a family trip to make a memory together, though it just devolves into a big fight where they utter the words you never say in a body-swap comedy - "I wish you could be me." Rita Moreno, who plays the astrologer taking their photo, was listening in on the argument and makes that wish a reality the very next morning. Jess and Bill fail to listen to each other while CC and Wyatt commit themselves to their studies and practice in a way the parents don't understand. It takes almost no time for the trailer to show how disconnected the Walker family is.
