Overview

Just before stubborn millionaire Edwina Cutwater dies, she asks her uptight lawyer, Roger Cobb, to amend her will so that her soul will pass to the young, vibrant Terry Hoskins – but the spiritual transference goes awry. Edwina enters Roger's body instead, forcing him to battle Edwina for control of his own being.

Martin vaults to the top of the class with his brazen, precise performance. This one goes in the time capsule.

Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

Patently ridiculous, but acceptable because of the charm of the characters.

Variety Staff, Variety

Martin is his usual combination of flat cynicism and crazed childishness, indulging in some inspired Jerry Lewis-like clowning with his arms and legs hopelessly out of synch.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out

It scores a lot of points by speculating on the ways in which a man and a woman could learn to coexist in such close quarters. Against all the odds, a certain tenderness and sweetness develops by the end of the film.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Mr. Martin's astonishing performance is the film's most conspicuous asset, but the entire cast is good.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
