FAMILY SWITCH

Jess and Bill Walker are doing their best to keep their family connected as their children grow older, more independent, and more distant. When a chance encounter with an astrological reader causes the family to wake up to a full body switch, on the morning of the most important day of each of their lives, can the Walkers unite to land a promotion, college interview, record deal and soccer tryout? (Netflix)

Now, Brad and Kate are left with precious little choice other than to swallow their pride and suffer the rounds. (Hulu)
