Following the release of the chaotic holiday movie Best. Christmas. Ever. Netflix is back with another festive family flick: Family Switch. If you ever wondered what would happen if every family member in Disney's Freaky Friday traded places with each other, this is the right movie for you! While I definitely had fun watching the awkward shenanigans unfold, I wish the movie had taken bigger risks.
Jennifer Garner and Ed Helms lead the cast of Family Switch, playing Jess and Bill Walker. Excited for the holiday season, the parents find themselves struggling to connect with their teenage children CC (Emma Myers) and Wyatt (Brady Noon). When a fight breaks out during a trip to the planetarium to see a once-in-a-lifetime planetary alignment, a telescope breaks and something major happens with the family. The following morning they wake up in each other’s bodies — including the youngest Walker who has switched with the family dog, Pickles. Now, the family must figure out how to carry out their important duties while being in each other's bodies. Adding even more pressure is the fact that they have to figure out how to switch back before the planetary alignment ends.
