Plot: 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

MY FAVORITE BODY SWITCH COMEDY BY FAR!
Added 3/26/2007

Savage and Reinhold really seem to be enjoying the roles they have taken on in this very funny body switch film. It is the best movie I have seen using this over used premise. This is a movie that holds up with repeat viewings.

It's a corker!

It's fair to say that if Judge Reinhold is in a film you know it is going to be good - and the same can be said about Fred Savage. If you stick them both together the results are always going to be both hilarious and moving. I don't know why you don't see so much of either of these two acting heavyweights these days - they must have got bored of all the fame and adulation.

Twice the Fred Savage!...
Added 11/16/2005

..When you think about it - because he is also inside the Judd Reinhold characters mind. So there are two Fred Savages running around at once!. This automatically makes this film twice as good as any other film ever made. If only those bozos who made Attack of the Clones had used Fred Savage to make the clone army out of. A wasted opportunity.

Enduring comedy.

Vice Versa is one of the funniest comedies about a child changing places with an adult. There are several other movies like this in which the mind of a child occupies an adult body and, in this case, vice versa, or some similar variation. They include Like Father Like Son, Freaky Friday, Big, Dream A Little Dream, Eighteen Again, and The Kid. In Vice Versa Judge Reinhold plays Marshall Seymour, a divorced department store purchaser who has his son Charlie (Fred Savage of The Wonder Years, The Wizard, etc.) for the weekend. Marshall just returned from a buying trip in the orient, mistakenly in posession of a magical skull. Charlie thinks his dad's unfairly ragging on him and in the midst of an argument, he finds the skull and Marshall tries to take it away from him. Just as they are both handling it, in the heat of argument Charlie wishes they could trade places, and they do. Before they figure out how to change back, Marshall has to attend Charlie's school in the boys body, and Charlie has to go to work at the department store as Marshall, as well as deal with the man's rocky relationship with his girfriend. All these situations provide plenty of laughs. One of my favorite parts is when Charlie's mother walks in on them, and sees her son Charlie - really her ex Marshall - drinking a martini. His reaction is as funny as hers: "S*#& what's she doing here?" You have to see it to get it. Other good comedy emerges from Charlie's adventures as a grownup in the department store and Marshall's experiences as a kid, dealing with bullies and teachers at school. It has a happy ending
