What to Know

Audience Says

A great cast and some moderately heartwarming moments aren't enough to make up for Family Switch's unimaginative take on the overused body-swap gimmick.

“Family Switch” is a Dad Joke of a movie, genially corny but enjoying its corniness so much that it invites us to enjoy it, too. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety 12/02/2023
“Family Switch” has bits and pieces of amusement, but mostly you want to swap it for a better movie. Go to Full Review
Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 11/30/2023
It’s simply hard to feel all that deeply for characters so flat and sweet they might as well be gingerbread people, resolving problems that barely seemed to exist in the first place. Go to Full Review

It's a film that manages to entertain the whole family with a good cast and a comedy that works for most of the story. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

3/5
This is a story, for all its predictability and faults, that still manages to provide audiences with a sprinkle of holiday cheer Go to Full Review

The very familiar premise of body swapping is written until the wheels fall off. Is it a fun trip... sure. Does it go anywhere... no. Go to Full Review

Jordan C @Jordanchas Jan 8 Off brand version of "Freaky Friday". Family switch is one of those movies that I would watch with someone, but I would rather watch any other movie so I don't know the right occasion to watch. Decent actors, but not horrible for a Netflix movie See more Jeff D @Username99999 Jan 5 The best part of the is movie is literally the end credits. As for the rest of the movie, bad would be a big improvement. It’s a remarkable movie.. every bad scene is followed by a worse scene right after that. None of it even attempts to make any sense. It’s just soooo bad. See more EP B @epbrown.official Jan 4 I knew what I was going to watch going in, so I embraced all the messiness and conveniency of the plot. That said, I will say I almost teared up towards the end, maybe cause I’m a parent and some things resonated with me. Guess I’m getting soft in my old age, lol. I’ve seen worse and cringier movies though. So it was an OK experience. See more tommy c @Tommychu6968 Dec 24 This movie is so bad we watch it as a joke- the plot makes 0 sense and the whole thing us stupid, Too many plot holes to count but watch it and find out. See more Justin K. @moofieluver999 Dec 18 A two, but a good two See more Brandon E @BrandonMASTER Nov 2 The movie is stupid, messed up, and dumb. See more Read all reviews
