Leave your thoughts about Switching Channels.
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyReynolds is charming in an otherwise so-so reworking of His Girl Friday. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergObviously one of the weaker "Front Page" remakes, but still colorful and energetic enough to warrant some faint praise. |
| United Press InternationalCathy BurkeReynolds and Turner turn in nice work as the hard-boiled couple who love to hate one another... Reeve is the surprise in this movie, turning his character into a wonderful caricature of a 1988 self-absorbed yuppie businessman. |
| User ReviewDianna DCould watch over and over. Never would have expected Burt Reynolds to fill Cary Grant's shoes so well! Fast paced, funny and full of slapstick, screwball comedy! |
| User ReviewMichaelI loved it. The whole ending with the prison escape was crazy. A lot of laughs. A great movie by Ted Kotcheff. |
| User ReviewPetros T"Switching Channels" is a surprisingly enjoyable '80s comedy, boasting an uproariously funny performance from Burt Reynolds (you gotta love that guy), great lines and sequences and a steady pace that never lets down until the end. The laughs are there, the gags are there, the action is there too. It's obviously strong original material paired with a suitable directorial approach. |

| User ReviewWilliam Sfantastic remake of his girl friday....isn't time for a new millinium remake |
| User ReviewMark AModern update of "His Girl Friday", benefit's from sharp direction, a quick pace, genuine laughs and 3 terrific lead performances, Reeve is very funny as a yuppie. Well worth seeing. |
| User ReviewPrivate UPretty much one of the best films ever made. It's dramatic, tense, romantic, thought provoking and altogether hilarious! |
