OK, no spoiler. It would be too long too. This movie is now easier to find, in Hulu for July (2017). I loved this movie in the 80s and 90s. The time was perfect. The dream concept odd and music to remember for yrs into the future. Watching in 2017 is fun for holidays. You can work, chill, and watch old memories. I remember i use to love the Coreys too. Good times.

This a charming film, greatly helped by the mere presence of Jason Robards. An interesting story that makes the other "body switch" films look even more awful than they actually are. I think the fact that it's a "Corey Film" unfortunately has hurt its reputation, coupled with this being Feldman's creepy Michael Jackson phase. I believe that this film would probably be revered today where it two no-names in the lead male roles instead of the Coreys. But then again, would you get the same excellent performances? This is a great movie with stellar performances all around, and yes it's an odd story, but my God at least it's a story! There are very few stories told any longer. Mindless action, slapstick comedies, or star vehicles dominate the film business today. Give me a fascinating, thought-provoking story like this any day.

It's difficult to me to review this film, for the simple reason that I was 15 when I saw this movie. It was made for me. It was made for teenagers trying to figure out life, love, getting into college, and dealing with adults. I loved it.It was the best by far of the "body-switching" genre that seemed to dominate the 1987-1990 period, but rarely was a teen drama tackled with more earnestness and via such a bizarre but interesting plot. Whatever the reason, it works and instead of being just another body switch comedy or teen fluff, it truly becomes a beautiful film that deserves its cult status.

I thought this was an excellent movie when I saw it when I was 19 and I still do today, good plot, good drama, and great message about values like honor, integrity, courage, honesty, and respect. The problems the teenagers faced in this movie are the same pressures they face today: drinking, drugs, peer pressure, violence, pressure for sex, (even from her mom, who I hate in this movie). The thing I like the most is the way they learn to deal with the situations without folding to the desires of their peers.Hooray for real values and respecting other people as well as yourself. I recommend this movie for anyone young or old that likes to see good morals and value win out against worldly pleasures and pressures.
