For those George Burns lovers, this movie is a Must Have. I loved all his stuff as a kid and still enjoy watching this movie.

This is one of my very favorite body switiching movies, and the best part is Charlie Schatter playing a young George Burns. He is so convincing you almost belive Burns actually inhabited his body. The prior reviews are right on the money, it is a great film. Watch it, you won't regret it!

This premise has been used so many times,I didn't think they could do anything more with it......I was wrong! Charlie Schlatter seems to be having a ball doing a very funny George Burns impersonation in this body switching movie and he carries the film. I've seen this film quite a few times and it is one of the better films using this premise.

Oh, my goodness, what a delight this movie is!

When an old man and a young man switch bodies, it leads to all types of comedy (mostly because people see the older gentleman and think, "oh, here's a young man." And vice versa for the young man. There was another movie like this but I can't recall it's title).

In any event, George Burns is a howl in the role of the old man, and it makes me want to go rent the first movie in this series ("18"), although I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I did get "8 1/2" and "10" because I'm hoping they will explain some of the backstory behind the lovable characters in this lovable film.

As for me, I would not want to switch bodies with anyone who smokes cigars, because of possible throat polyps. This movie is a scream!

George Burns was 92 years old when this movie was released. It would be the last time he appeared on the big screen in a leading role.

There were a bunch of similar movies released in a short period of time, where the older man and the younger guy switch bodies. This was one of the best; it still holds up as a funny film. Touching, too, as the love between Grandfather (Burns) and Grandson (Charlie Schlatter) is handled very realistically.

Burns, as Jack Watson, doesn't have nearly as much screen-time as Charlie Schlatter, who plays Jack's grandson David. The body switching occurs during a car accident that lands Burns unconscious in the hospital for the middle section of the film. Burns expresses his thoughts through voice-over narration while experiencing life in his grandson's body.

As much as this is George Burns's movie through and through, much credit must be given to Charlie Schlatter. Schlatter very convincingly emulates Burns as a young man. Red Buttons portrays Burns best friend, and Pauly Shore portrays Schlatter's best friend.

The DVD is pretty much bare bones. We are given a widescreen presentation along with the film's original theatrical trailer. For the budget price, Burn's fans can't go wrong. Special note to parents: be aware that despite the PG rating, the film contains a fair amount of mild profanity and some brief nudity.
