A wish on a magic skull enables a workaholic executive and his 11-year-old son to change places in one of the many recent body-swap movies. There are some funny scenes, the best being the kids visit to his teacher in his fathers body. But this is a largely predictable farce that cannot compete with the man-child physical comedian that is Tom Hanks in Big. Reinhold is affable and gawky enough, but Hanks seems more convincing as a teenager trapped in an adult than most real teenagers do.
Vice Versa is not helped by its skull sub-plot, as a pair of vaguely-plotted smugglers follow father and son in pursuit of the trinket.
