I fully understand Candace Cameron's appeal. However as light hearted as this film is her charms do not work at all in this film.
In this film she plays "twins" that are opposite. Each think of course the other has an "Easier Life". So they both decide to switch for the holidays. Now this is not a "Freaky Friday" its "Wife Swap".
The film suffers because Candace fails to bring 3 dimensions to both parts. She is flat. She also need to make each "Person" have different mannerisms. Because she fails the film fails because the truth is "The Minor Differences" that she brings isn't enough to being an "A-Ha" moment to a full realization.
Hallmark Staple Alicia Witt should have been given this project. She would made a film people would remember!
