Exchanging lives with another individual may be next to impossible but many a amusing movie has been made with this hilarious storyline. Here are some suggestions for just a few that you may love. The lesson of the story always seems to be consideration and empathy for the other person and that can be a good thing.

From’87 and starring Dudley Moore, Kirk Cameron, “Like Father, Like Son”. A cardiovascular surgeon accidentally sprinkles an old Indian potion into his Bloody Mary and presto, he and his laid-back son have traded identities. Cast includes Dudley Moore, Kirk Cameron, Margaret Colin, Catherine Hicks, Patrick O’Neal, and Sean Astin.

The father is a cardiovascular surgeon who happens to be so immersed in his own vocation that he pays no notice to the difficulties the son is having with school and social activities. The trading places with each other leads to bizarrely hilarious complications at work and at school but each receives insight into the others life.

In a comparable plot the motion picture “Freaky Friday” from 2003 has Jamie Lee Curtis playing a mom who exchanges lives with Lindsay Lohan who plays her 15 years old daughter. The mom wants more support for her forthcoming wedding to her fianc and the daughter wants her mom to support her musical aspirations with her rock band.

A Chinese restaurant and a magic fortune cookie on Thursday evening bring about a Friday like no other. But they have to find consideration for the other before the wedding ceremony takes place on Saturday. Stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan with Mark Harmon as the prospective husband and stepfather.

And last but not least, a different type of identity exchange film, “Mrs. Doubtfire” is a cheery and gratifying comedy about a free spirited husband and father, who gets a separation after fourteen years. Since he can’t bear the notion of being away from his family he camouflages himself as a old-fashioned British housekeeper and gets hired as the children’s nanny.

Sally Fields is the ex-wife, with Pierce Brosnan as her new boyfriend. Robin Williams plays the dad and Mrs. Doubtfire with Lisa Jakob, Matthew Lawrence and Mara Wilson as the children. “Mrs. Doubtfire” is a movie that one and all can enjoy from the year’93.

And of course, there may be more but there you have three suggestions for some hilarious and remarkable films based upon the premise of a erroneous identity. Have fun!
