While it's nice to see Sissy Spacek in different kinds of roles, the fairy tale as a whole is too didactic and only sporadically charming.

Silly '90s fantasy is a little dated but still fun.

Rotten. Horrible. Watch it and you'll be "trading films."

Absolutely loved this movie as a child, was one that I would regularly watch ! Lighthearted fun and I’m sure we can all relate to wanting to be able to trade our parents at some stage just being a child. Great movie and showcased the versatility in sissy spaceck’s acting ability

Admittedly it does have a decent concept but Trading Mom is too formulaic and brings nothing to the table.

Not As Disapointing as it looks It might seem a dull movie, and well kind of is. Anna Chlumsky is great however in the movie as well as the two actors that play her brother. Its not in every Blockbuster in town, but if you get a chance to rent a movie, look for this one (just make sure you're doing something while watching it, it won't seem as boring.)
