Overview

Lifelong friends Dave and Mitch are envious of the other's life. Mitch thinks Dave has it all: a beautiful, loving family and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. But Dave thinks Mitch’s stress-free playboy life without obligation or consequence is the real dream come true. One fateful drunken night, they both admit that they wish they had the other’s life while peeing in a fountain when lightning strikes. The next morning, they wake up, hungover, in each other’s bodies! With time not on their side, Mitch and Dave comically struggle to avoid completely destroying each other’s lives before they can find a way to get their old ones back.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A comedy about two friends waking up in each other's bodies that mines laughs from the chaos of trying to live unfamiliar lives while discovering what they actually value. It's silly, heartfelt in moments, and driven by the chemistry between its leads pretending to be each other.
