The versatile and charming Jennifer Garner is returning to Netflix. After starring in several of Netflix’s titles, Garner is bringing a comedy flick to the table. The streaming giant recently announced its fall line-up and Garner’s movie hopes to add some laughs to the scene. In what aims to be a hilarious and mood-lifting take on a light-hearted topic, Jennifer Garner stars in Family Switch.

Additionally, the movie will also see Garner reprise her lighter side in a role with Netflix following her last outing alongside Ryan Reynolds in The Adam Project.

Family Switch to bring to life a children’s book and some smiles across the screens

The upcoming Netflix comedy movie, Family Switch, will borrow pages from the children’s book, Bedtime for Mommy by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. The movie will feature Ed Helms alongside Jennifer Garner as two parents who swap bodies with their children. Adding even more humor to the plate is the family dog who swaps places with the kids’ baby brother! Amidst the Netflix trend of bringing back their favorite actors in comedies, the movie shall be a fun and creative collaboration directed by McG, who has also directed Rim Of The World.

The crux of the family swap, which happens due to a visit to an astrologer, is centered around the characters navigating through life and adapting to the changes. Moreover, with the movie coming along right in time for the holidays, it hopes to be added to many families’ watchlists. 

Interestingly, Family Switch will also pay homage to one of Jennifer Garner’s cult-classic from about two decades back. The 2004 movie has since attained a cult-like status and finds Garner in a very similar yet opposite role.

Jennifer Garner will hit fans with nostalgia as movie to pay homage to 13 Going on 30

In 2004, Jennifer Garner starred in a body swap movie, which is quite similar yet different to her current role. In 13 Going on 30, the actress plays a 13-year-old who wakes up in her 30-year-old self’s body. Meanwhile, in Family Switch, Garner switches places from her adult self to her daughter’s body. Subtly playing both sides of the coin with the two movies. 

Director McG hinted at including references and homages to Garner’s earlier outing. With Netflix’s ever-expanding roster and Garner’s charm, the movie may very well attain its status as a cult classic over time.
