Amazon.com Blake Edwards (Victor/Victoria) wrote and directed this sharp if somewhat underachieving satire about sexual politics, in which an unrepentant playboy (Perry King), with a long trail of broken hearts behind him, dies and comes back as a woman (Ellen Barkin). Barkin is terrific as a babe with the mind and soul of a stud, and her struggles to reconcile her male impulses with the realities of her new body are the best material in the film. Jimmy Smits is fine as her best friend (back when she was a he, however), and JoBeth Williams is memorable as one of the deceased fellow's castoffs--she ironically becomes an ally of his incarnation as a woman. This isn't Edwards at his greatest, but it's a highly watchable minor entry in his canon. --Tom Keogh

Switch August 28, 2008 M. Harrison Good gender bending fun. Cast is great. This is a remake of "Goodby Charlie" and I think its a better film. the product rived promptly, and in good condition. It was new, in its oroginol case and wrap.
Don't Miss This Movie February 13, 2008 J. Beltich (Norton, OH USA) After seeing parts of this movie on TV I just had to have it. Ellen Barkin plays a great roll and is just hilarious. It's not for the little ones, but yet it is not one to be uncomfortable with. If you want some good laughs mixed in with an unusual situation this movie is for you. It also teaches a good lesson in being kind and the final reward of unselfish love. It is a winner!
switch May 15, 2007 Janice Andrews This is a very funny movie and I have not been able to find this in local stores or rental stores. Thanks to Amazon my search was over.
Not for the kids May 13, 2007 Claudia Durand (Minnesota) Very well done movie on if you were a man that was murdered by a female (among many) you did wrong one too many times, and the wisdom above decided to send you back and as a female, if you could find one female that liked you which would save you from going below (hell).....and what a hoot watching this man in a womans body, walk in heels, handle men, and calling his former dates trying to find that one female that had something nice to say about him. Lots of foul language, but a good comedy. The ending will surprise you. Good movie.
Ellen is fantastic March 11, 2007 Holly H. Short (Surprise, AZ,USA) One of the funniest movies ever!! Ellen Barkin is fantastic in her role. Would love to know what type of training she had prior to filming.
