Just like the family in this movie, I need a Christmas miracle to post consistently on this account. When family members switch bodies with each other during a rare planetary alignment, their hilarious journey to find their way back to normal will bring them closer together than they ever thought possible.
"Family Switch" is a very light comedy Christmas movie that's perfect for a family to watch (well it's in the title). To start off, the idea of the movie is not very new. It's the same "oh no a big problem happened, and something has to change within the family before Christmas so we can go back to normal." However, it was executed in quite a different way. Throughout the whole movie, I didn't really feel like it was too awkward or too "cringy" which is a pretty difficult thing in basically all modern day family movies (although I'm pretty sure some might disagree). Surprisingly, this film actually had its funny moments which I really did laugh to. Yet again, it's a very simple and uncomplicated movie that requires 0 brain power in order to predict every single detail.
What really elevated the movie for me was Jennifer Garner. She's just so natural and good at this role and doesn't really force anything out of it. The rest of the cast was quite good too.
If you're a serious movie watcher, I wouldn't really recommend this. However, if you're in need of something simple and not too boring to watch with your family, then this is the movie for you.
Score:6.5/10.
