One of five body-swap movies all released around the same time. The others were Big (1988), Vice Versa (1988), Like Father Like Son (1987), and Dream a Little Dream (1989). In George Burns's last starring role; he played an 81-year-old when he was already 92. When Arnold Watson thinks that he hears Jack Watson's voice over the intercom from beyond this life, it was an obvious in-joke to Burns' "Oh, God" (1977).
