Review of Switch

Switch (1991)
4/10
One Joke Film
31 August 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Blake Edwards, a great comedy director in his day, just does not seem to be able to deliver the loads of laughs promised by what ends up being a one joke film. The 'man trying to cope as a woman' theme is quite funny, and Ellen Barkin does well in this role, but it does not carry the film from beginning to end successfully.

The movie resolves itself with a nice sentimental touch, although it is all too predictable. As for the ridiculous concept of a He/She God sending the wanton man back to Earth, well what can I say? "Switch" could have been okay, but the silly plot makes it quite average. Also starred Jimmy Smits, JoBeth Williams and Lorraine Bracco.
