Reception [edit]
Roger Ebert gives the moving-picture show a score of 1 and a half out of 4. He compares it to Similar Begetter Similar Son and Vice Versa, calling Vice Versa the best of the three, by far. He stated, "The whole project seems to have been enveloped in a miasma of good intentions and heartwarming sentiments. In that location'southward no border, no bite and none of the inspired torso linguistic communication that fabricated 'Vice Versa' so special. The film makes no effort to really imagine what it would be like to inhabit another torso; it just springs the gimmick on usa and starts unreeling its sitcom plot. Although Burns is, of course, a beloved institution, and any opportunity to see him is welcome, he is not given much to exercise in the movie, and he doesn't do much with information technology...No real endeavour has been made to notice any differences between Burns and the graphic symbol he plays in this movie."[1]
