Christmas is approaching, and Netflix is getting freaky for the streamer’s Family Switch trailer! Wait! Get your head out of the gutter. This project isn’t a Team Skeet joint. Family Switch is a body-swap comedy starring Jennifer Garner (Yes Day, Wonder Park), Ed Helms (The Hangover, Tag), Emma Myers (Wednesday), and Brady Noon (The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers) as a squabbling family getting the Freaky Friday treatment to bring peace to the upcoming Christmas holiday!
Here’s the official logline for Family Switch:
Jess and Bill Walker are doing their best to keep their family connected as their children grow older, more independent, and more distant. When a chance encounter with an astrological reader causes the family to wake up to a full body switch on the morning of the most important day of each of their lives, can the Walkers unite to land a promotion, college interview, record deal, and soccer tryout? Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, Emma Myers, and Brady Noon star in this family comedy directed by McG and based on the book “Bedtime For Mommy” by Amy Krouse-Rosenthal.
In the Family Switch trailer, the Walker family is falling apart at the seams. With the Christmas holiday quickly approaching, everyone is on edge as pivotal life events loom. There are probably better times to contact an astrological reader armed with body-swapping powers. Still, when the Walker parents swap bodies with their attitudinal offspring, all heck breaks loose as each family member is on the verge of events that could change their lives forever. They’ll have to work together to survive the ordeal while taking advantage of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Hold onto your jingle bells, folks! Family Switch is going to be a bumpy ride!
Rita Moreno (F9: The Fast Saga, West Side Story) and Matthias Schweighöfer (Army of the Dead, Army of Thieves, The Red Baron) also star as primary cast members.
Would you survive a 24-hour body swap with a member of your family? Would you lay low the entire time or attempt to see things from their perspective? Can the Walkers settle their differences before time runs out? I certainly hope so!
Family Switch debuts on Netflix on November 30!
