Exchanging lives with another person may be next to impossible but many a funny movie has been made with this hilarious premise. Here are some recommendations for just a few that you may enjoy. The moral of the story always seems to be compassion and empathy for the other person and that can be a good thing.
In 1987, Dudley Moore and Kirk Cameron played father and son who switched places in the movie “Like Father, Like Son”. The father accidentally sprinkles a magical Indian potion into his bloody Mary and instantly he and his have switched up identities. Cast also includes Margaret Colin, Catherine Hicks, Patrick O’Neal and Sean Astin.
Dudley Moore is a heart surgeon who is so wrapped up in his own life and his own work that he neglects to notice his son’s problems with school and social activities. The identity crisis of course, leads to extraordinary complications at school and work but also helps both father and son see the perspective of the other.
In a similar plot the movie “Freaky Friday” from 2003 has Jamie Lee Curtis playing a mother who trades places with Lindsay Lohan who plays her 15 years old daughter. The mom wants more support for her upcoming marriage to her fiancé and the daughter wants her mom to support her musical aspirations with her rock band.
A Chinese restaurant and a magical fortune cookie on Thursday evening bring about a Friday to remember. But the wedding is on Saturday. Will they be switched back in time? Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan and Mark Harmon.
And next a movie about someone pretending to have a different identity, “Mrs. Doubtfire” is about a free spirited husband and father who gets a divorce after fourteen years. He cannot bear the thought of being away from his children so he dresses up as a British nanny and his ex-wife hires him.
Robin Williams stars as the dad and of course, Mrs. Doubtfire, Sally Fields is the mom and Lisa Jakob, Matthew Lawrence and Mara Wilson play the children. Mrs. Doubtfire is a wonderful family movie from 1993 that should not be missed.
Enjoy these movies on mistaken identities or any other movie that you wish by downloading straight to your computer. It’s easy and convenient. Enjoy!
