Dr. Jack Hammond (Dudley Moore) is a noted heart surgeon whose personality is switched with his teenage son Chris (Kirk Cameron) in this uninspired comedy. The ingestion of a brain transference serum is the catalyst for the comic catastrophe and the confusion that follows. Sean Astin and Patrick O'Neal co-star with Margaret Colin and Catherine Hicks. A decent idea for a comedy that has since been done better in Brian Gilbert's 1988 comedy Vice Versa starring Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

During the late '80s, Hollywood delivered a spate of body-switch films. Like Father, Like Son was the entry in that genre that featured Growing Pains teen heartthrob Kirk Cameron and the respected British comic actor Dudley Moore. The film makes its debut on DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves he original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This DVD was released around the same time as other films from the same period with a similar premise were, including Vice Versa. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
