Good leads can't elevate poor script..., 24 September 2005
3/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Precious, predictable comedy has overworked father Judge Reinhold and pre-teen son Fred Savage switching personalities after getting hold of one of those movie-formula ancient mystical artifacts. Hoary premise plays like just another "Freaky Friday" retread. Reinhold cuts loose for really the first time and has fun (although his overacting is shameless); Savage, then-star of TV's "The Wonder Years", is even better, doing his wiser-than-his-years shtick with letter-perfect ease (he's a natural). There are some laughs, however the whole thing bottoms out in the final stretch with a ridiculous car-chase. Smart viewers will have bailed out by then. *1/2 from ****
