About this movie

Trading places was never so funny, and it could only happen on Friday the 13th! That's when the tomboyish and free-spirited Annabel (Jodie Foster) switches bodies with her straitlaced mother, Ellen (Barbara Harris), and suddenly finds herself responsible for running the entire household. In turn, Ellen, now in her daughter's body, faces the daunting challenges of school, including a typing test, field hockey competition, and much more!

Ratings and reviews

of the time period. Add it to your collection if you like a great cast (Barbara Harris plays comedy gold) and silly situations (beyond the body switching) like a police car splitting in two, just as an example. It is the original and the best, in my opinion.

...Oh no you won't! Just one long laugh after another! My favorite is John Astin during the water ski scenes, not knowing what the hell is going on!

It's funny :) Love seeing all of the retro stuff now too.
