Review of Sam

Sam (XI) (2017)
4/10
Skinny, stupid, and drugged out of their minds

Warning: Spoilers
"Sam" is a playboy misogynist who drinks tea and gets transferred into a woman's body (Natalie Knepp). He confides this in his best friend gynecologist (Sean Kleier) who is skeptical until the DNA test comes back. Sam works for a model supply agency who uses women who are "skinny, stupid, and drugged out of their mind." The film incorporates many of the same jokes that was in the superior film Blake Edwards' "Switch" (Ellen Barkin-1991) nominated for a Golden Globe. I couldn't help but mentally compare the two films while watching "Sam". The part of Lulu (Morgan Fairchild) would have made the film more interesting if they used Ellen Barkin reviving her old role as Amanda Brooks. But once again, I wasn't the target audience.

I am sure people who have not watched "Switch" might hail this film as a new refreshing comedy as does the cast. I felt more deja vu than entertained.

Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.
