Short description

Lifelong friends Dave and Mitch are envious of the other's life. Mitch thinks Dave has it all: a beautiful, loving family and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. But Dave thinks Mitch’s stress-free playboy life without obligation or consequence is the real dream come true. One fateful drunken night, they both admit that they wish they had the other’s life while peeing in a fountain when lightning strikes. The next morning, they wake up, hungover, in each other’s bodies! With time not on their side, Mitch and Dave comically struggle to avoid completely destroying each other’s lives before they can find a way to get their old ones back.

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).
  • 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.
  • A significant portion of the nudity was filmed using computer technology, particularly when filming the bare chests of actresses Leslie Mann and Olivia Wilde.
  • 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".
