Steve Brooks, (Perry King) is a notoriously sexist man with a preference for blondes. One night, three women wronged by him gang up to murder him after seducing him into thinking that they want to have a four-way with him in a hot tub.
Given the way Steve has treated women, God isn't sure if Ste ...more |

Some witty lines and a very convincing performance by Ellen Barkin
compensates for very weak male fantasy vehicle.
To enjoy these aspect check all sense of reality at the door and
bring heavy Suspension of Disbelieve pills. Key to the film's
"plot" is that the protagonist must find a woman who genuinely
loves him -- oops but its now her.
Our newly femininine protagonist meets this challenge by deciding
not to have an abortion after getting pregnant while passed out
drunk. Similar nonsense about women exercising power in the
workplace by causing erections in co-workers. Clue: nobody gives
six figure jobs for getting them hot, prostitutes are a lot
cheaper.

Again I wasn't particularly impressed. Blake Edwards has definitely
done funnier stuff than this movie.

The most boring TG movie I've ever seen. The plot is really stupid
and Ellen Barkin not my favourite actress to play in such a role.

An uneven movie. There were parts I liked and parts I didn't. I
thought Ellen Barkin was very good.

I was really unimpressed with the film. For one thing, the Ellen
Barken charecter wasn't even consistant with the male she was
supposed to have been. For instance, he had this annoying smooth
way of talking; when he turned into a woman, s/he suddenly develped
a tough, urban New York accent. Way too many jokes about his/her
inability to walk in high heels. (By flat shoes, for goodness
sake!)
In order to prove s/he is tough, s/he kept getting into physical
altercations that would have winded him/her up in jail.
Supposedly he male had been a debaucher; a seducer. He would set up
his friends with his various girlfriends. Yet at the same time, no
woman liked him. Isn't this contradictory? The film seems to assume
that women would fall for his lines easily, yet had enough
awareness that they were falling for his lines, and hate him for
it. I guess that would be true if women were stupid, but experience
seems to show me otherwise.
Also, while Ellen Barkin is quite attractive, it's a bit strange
that everyone she wanted to seduce would fall for her completely.
Men, lesbians, everyone.
In short, it was a waste of talent, both Ellen Barkins, Jimmy
Smits, and Blake Edwards, all three of whom had done much better in
other works.

I also agreed that this movie sucked.
I watched about half of it, and was really uninterested 1/4 of the
way through, just because of the terrible acting/plot
line/directing/editing.

There was a tremendous opportunity here that was lost forever when
Kelly McGillis (who was originally signed to play the lead role)
walked off the project. Kelly McGillis (the actress from "Witness")
wanted to do "Switch" as a comedy, but far more, she wanted to
explore what how a young man would really feel to be suddenly
transformed into a beautiful woman. Kelly McGillis wanted to
portray what a real man's feelings would have been to be suddenly
confronted with being in a beautiful female body: surprise,
humiliation, gradual and grudging acceptance of being female,
ultimately taking pride in being a beautiful woman, etc. Kelly
McGillis walked off the project saying that Blake Edwards only
wanted to do cheap bathroom humor, a one-joke move, which is
exactly what it turned out to be.
