It’s ‘Freaky Friday’ with the whole family! Ed Helms and Jennifer Garner star as mom and dad, who switch places with daughter and son (baby and dog also switch) in this goofy and oh-so-predictable comedy from director McG (‘The Babysitter’). Most of the jokes are telegraphed from miles away, and there’s never a real sense of urgency (despite what the characters themselves keep telling us), but Helms and Garner both throw their all into it, and there are a few moments that actually work somewhat. Ultimately, it’s one of those ‘perfectly fine’ cute little Netflix efforts that won’t offend but won’t warrant a return visit either.
2.5/5 stars
