Short description

Dave is a married man with two kids and a loving wife, and Mitch is a single man who is at the prime of his sexual life. One fateful night while Mitch and Dave are peeing in a fountain when lightning strikes, they switch bodies.

What's left behind the scenes

At the beginning of the film, Ryan Reynolds’ character confidently handles a samurai sword. He acquired this skill while preparing for the role in Tom Miller’s action film “Deadpool” (2016).
A significant portion of the nudity was filmed using computer technology, particularly when filming the bare chests of actresses Leslie Mann and Olivia Wilde.
For financial reasons, the film was shot in Atlanta, as it was believed to be warmer there in the middle of winter than in Los Angeles. Nevertheless, a blizzard forced filming to be suspended for several days.
During the filming of a softcore scene, the actress Mona removes her bra, and it remains hanging on her even when she gets on all fours in front of Mitch and Dave. It's still there, but at one point it unexpectedly disappears.
The film features the song "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" by Coldplay, as well as "Higher Ground" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
At the beginning of the film, Ryan Reynolds' character confidently wields a samurai sword. He acquired this skill while preparing for the role in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine".
