Like Father Like Son
ComedyFantasy100 min
Work-absorbed surgeon Dr. Jack Hammond and his teenage son Chris barely understand each other until an accidental sip of a brain-swapping serum leaves each stuck in the other's body. Dudley Moore is Jack, a doctor focused on becoming medical superintendent at his clinic, while Kirk Cameron's Chris is more concerned with school and the everyday drama of being a high school senior. The mix-up throws Jack into classrooms and teenage routines, and drops Chris into hospital work and adult responsibilities, turning their constant friction into a forced crash course in each other's lives.
