!!This film provides examples of:
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The film is ''Film/{{Big}}'' meets ''Freaky Friday''. Mitch and Dave pee in front of a fountain statue and they wish to have their lives switched. The next day the wish becomes reality.
* TheBully: One of Cara's classmates keeps tripping her in the dancing lessons. After Mitch-Dave gives her the advice of using the violence, she throws her in one of her performances and the girl does not bully Cara ever again.
* CassandraTruth: Mitch and Dave try to explain the body switch situation to Jamie by asking something that only her would know. Dave-Mitch tells her the embarrassing incident with one of her dildos that gave her a hairless mark on her crotch, only to get an infuriated response from Jamie.
* ChekhovsGun: The butterfly from Cara's animal book. [[spoiler:Once Dave-Mitch sees that Sabrina has the tattoo of that said butterfly, he immediately starts to miss his family and decides to regain his body]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: Mitch-Dave's advice to his daughter Cara is that the response against a bully is violence. When Jamie hears that advice after Cara threw the bully girl on stage, she gets shocked at first but then responds that [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop violence is OK sometimes.]]
* FanDisservice: PlayedForLaughs. Jamie gets naked and walks in slow motion in front of the body switched Mitch much to his amusement. Then she goes to the toilet as the food she ate wasn't much for her intestines this time much to Mitch's disgust.
* FreakyFridayFlip: The film could be summed up as ''Film/FreakyFriday1976'' meets ''Film/{{Big}}'': two men wish to switch their lives and bodies in front of an apparent supernatural inanimate object, in this case a fountain statue.
* MsFanservice: Sabrina as played by Creator/OliviaWilde. Even better with the red dress she wears in her date with Dave-Mitch.
* VulgarHumor: From the very first scene, a sleepy Dave tries to change his twin babies' diapers only to be met with disastrous results including his baby son pooping on his face. Also, the "lorno" scene where Dave-Mitch has to finger the actress' anus and Jamie's FanDisservice scene.
* YourCheatingHeart:
