I didn’t realize how many movies go by this title or the number of body swap movies that have been created since the beginning of the talking cinema.
Released in 2017 this movie was rightly a favorite when it came out. This body swap movie comically addresses a sensitive issue for most couples – a lack of understanding of what the other party goes through in order to make not only a marriage work but also harmony exists for the sake of the family.
I definitely recommend this any time you want to et your hair down. Schedule it for a family movie night and I am sure everyone will be laughing at each other and the movie for weeks to come.

The Story
Ont the brink of divorce a married couple Toyosi and Ebere, decide to give it one more shot at the urging of their parents and for the sake of their children.
They seek counseling from a pastor. What ensues after the prayer, opens their eyes to what they each have to deal with at home, with their children, and even at work. They not only get to appreciate each other but find solutions for each other’s problems in the most comical way. But who else knows and are they better off in their each other’s bodies?
The Actors
These two were definitely the best to carry out these roles. Ramsey definitely aced trying to bot only be a woman but act as Omoni specifically. Some of the scenes I specifically enjoyed is Ebere getting to the farm and cat-walking to the office. Toyosi was hilarious with different issues especially the hair. I think the two made the unlikely situation hilariously ‘believable’.
