Switch ( 1991 ) - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Blake Edwards makes very "adult"comedies.I've already done"10".Now we do "Switch".Another film that other films have the same name but I'm not aware if they are remakes or different.This film is different then most in its genre. The theme is,dead person comes back in another body before they can"move on".Not new, done many ,many times before and since. However Edwards has a way of mixing his "message"into comedy like no other.I've put the IMDB summary below and it seems straight forward yuks.Not so fast.There is a message about "gays"being as sensitive yet flawed as are we all are.Also a very subtile yet strong right to life message that is the true punch line of the movie after a gay ride through hypocrisy.Very intelligent and as funny as it sometimes is,you'll discuss the movie later.My only real complaint was the "walking in heels"joke is dragged on to long as is a few others.However thats a small price to pay for the punchline.I didn't see it coming till it came!!!! Hint,if no baby,then hell it is.Must see it you like something funny that you don't feel stupid after watching.Good cast but better story.I only took the 1 star off for the over played jokes and really very adult themes.Not a family film by any means.Trailer URL after the pix.Released in 1991 it runs 103 minutes.

A sexist, chauvinist pig gets his just desserts when his angry ex-girlfriends murder him and he is reincarnated as a woman.
