Switch

Comedy. Fantasy Steve Brooks is a sexist and the prototype macho. Unfortunately one day he is killed by one of his girlfriends. In heaven, though, there is no place for men like him and he is sent back to earth in the body of a woman so that he can see how women are treated by men like the one he once was.
Media Author Review
United States
Boston Globe
"It's thoughtful as well as funny, and you never want to take your eyes off Barkin"
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"If Edwards had somehow found a way to really grapple with the implications of his story - if he had pushed to see how far he could go - Switch might have been a truly revolutionary comedy" 
United States
Los Angeles Times
"In the end, Switch isn’t a top-grade Edwards movie--though it shares with his best, a sparkling directorial panache and charm" 
United States
Chicago Tribune
"A strangely mournful, lugubrious film, staggering under a sense of exhaustion that manages to stifle many of its own best laughs"
United States
Chicago Tribune
"Switch is highly recommended for Barkin's work, which has to be considered on a par with Steve Martin's similar comic turn in All of Me"
United States
Austin Chronicle
"The only redeeming thing in Switch is Barkin's vulgar and adept physical performance of a man literally trapped in a woman's body." 
United States
San Francisco Chronicle
"It's up to Ellen Barkin to carry the movie, and she manages until the thing just becomes a dead weight"
