Like Father Like Son

Typical high school senior Chris Hammond (Kirk Cameron) and his father (Dudley Moore), Dr Jack Hammond, are about as close as they can get--but they're about to become even closer. When a freak accident causes them to switch bodies, they will learn more about each other's lives than they ever expected! Dad is a famous heart surgeon while son Kirk is a typical teenager into girls, cars and music. Luckily for him he gets to drive the Jaguar while his dad gets to sit Biology all over again! A whacky role-reversal riot.

    Predictable but enjoyable

    What a lovely take on the commonly made 'body-switch' movie! As predictable as it was, this movie was very enjoyable and made me laugh in just the right places. Typically aimed at young teenagers.
