This movie was confusing, boring, and not funny.

The characters seemed extremely underdeveloped, and many were unnecessary. Half the time I couldn't tell who was who or why they were there. The plot seemed unfocused and scattered. I wasn't sure what was really going on or why. It seemed like someone took a couple of potentially interesting ideas, a bunch of bad ones, several 80s tropes, tossed it all into a blender, and called the mess a movie.

I tend to really like the body swapping comedies. They tend to be really entertaining and usually have the characters learn valuable lessons. Despite the characters being confused, the audience usually can tell what's going on. In this film, however, I didn't know what was going on. By the end I wasn't even certain this actually qualified as a valid member of the body swapping comedy genre. This genre has a lot of options, and I'd suggest not wasting time with this one.

It's a sweet reminder of this style movie from years back. It's family friendly, and has plenty of silly moments. It's good for a fun and amusing watch, where you just want to relax, and not have to pay close attention.

Yes, it has a pretty standard plot for its time period and genre. It has villians that are pretty tame. It has people trying make ends meet. But it also has creative ways of progressing the story which is a cute overall scenario.

I had never seen this when I was a kid, but think I would have really liked it back then. It made me happy watching it now. Sometimes, a nice simple family friendly comedy movie from the past where everything works out is comforting. And when considering that basic story lines are still around, it's nice when they come together in an enjoyable way.

It doesn't have the awesome special effects that the current generation is spoiled with having. I think that's why the rating is lower than it deserves. Maybe the robot being so over the top unrealistic helped lower the rating too, but robots like that feature in a lot of movies of that time period, so I'm not sure.

This movie is a bit slow, and definitely nothing special. The actors do alright overall, and the main characters are reasonably endearing. I rounded up to a six because the movie was basically a six if you can ignore the terrible distracting noises they consider music.

I do think that if they gave the movie a halfway decent sound track, metered the movies pace better, and gave the characters a little more time to develop; it had the potential for a solid eight. It is a fairly simple and predictable plot, and needed a bit more funny bits to really make it pop. It's a typical mediocre romantic comedy.
