DVD Synopsis

A magical jeweled skull makes the wish of 11-year-old Charlie (Fred Savage) come true in this routine but entertaining situation comedy. Charlie wishes he can switch places with his father Marshall (Judge Reinhold), a shallow junior executive of a toy-manufacturing company. Marshall retains his adult form but has the mind of an 11 year old. Charlie still looks 11 but has all the cynical wisdom and experience of his father. The switch provides for many amusing episodes, as father and son try to cope in each other's worlds. Marshall (as Charlie) goes to school while Charlie (as Marshall) tackles the pressures of the corporate boardroom. The performances of Reinhold and Savage are the highlights of this amusing comedy. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

There was a moment in the late '80s when Hollywood produced an endless string of body-switch movies. Vice Versa, directed by Brian Gilbert and starring Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold, was a part of that trend which included Big, 18 Again!, and Like Father, Like Son. Vice Versa comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the 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, but this Columbia/TriStar title does offer solid sound and picture quality. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
