It was one of those "something in the air" moments in Hollywood. In the space of a year, four different films came out on the same subject: A kid lands in an adult's body (and, often, vice versa--get it?). The best was Big, but this one was surprisingly amusing, thanks to a goofily adolescent performance by Judge Reinhold (as the kid in an adult's body) and a comically serious one by young Fred Savage, who can convey the sense of an grownup trapped in a kid's world. The plot is virtually identical to its competitors--overworked Dad has a big deadline and has to rely on the unreliable kid to come through for him, even as he gets a sense of what his son's life is like--but Reinhold and Savage charm their way through it. --Marshall Fine

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
