Review of Switched

Switched (2020)
3/10
Too Sweet, too preachy

Warning: Spoilers
I've always liked identity swap movies, and many are cringe-worthy. One would think the climax of this silly film was the body swap, but for me it comes much later in the film when Cassandra Katie tells Katie Cassandra that she likes being Katie and that she thinks she does a better job. The premise of religion being the vehicle of the swap shouldn't have been key and could have been more dramatic if left out of the movie altogether. The acting is immature and the dialog holds nothing memorable. So many "If's" could have launched this in any number of directions, but seeing it's focused on upper class adolescence it is doomed. Starting out with retaliation and ending in salvation makes this movie a minus-meh.
