Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Tailor-made for anyone who wants a laugh and people who still love a bit of magic. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. If you loved Freakier Friday, start here.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: Zips along, at 1 hr 16 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1960: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Two aspiring actresses stumble upon an ancient Aztec sculpture of an elephant that has the power to switch both of their bodies. Little do they know their best friend can control the powers of the elephant, thus sending the two girls into a world of role reversals.
