I admit I didn't expect much going into this viewing, I only watched it because it was a free rental from my public library and it had "zero" requests. No waiting. So my wife and I started it at our usual 7PM movie time at home. In all we enjoyed it more than we expected we would.
"Switched" movies are nothing new but this one brings a different twist to things and, probably to the objection of some viewers, invokes God through prayer. But it is not a "hit you over the head" with religion script. Overall it has a very good message, why not try talking to and understanding others rather than make fun of those who are different?
It also is a parody of today's heavy emphasis, especially among teens, of social media and "influencers." One of the teens (actually almost 30 in real life) was such a popular influencer (and a bully) that her parents had quit their jobs and relied on the daughter to support the family in a very well off lifestyle.
I must mention John Schneider, now 60, who was one of the parents. I first saw him in the 1979 "Dukes of Hazard" TV series which he started as an 18 or 19 year old. Now over 40 years later he is still in fine form. Good for you John.
