Plot summary

In Atlanta, Dave Lockwood is an efficient and dedicated lawyer who expects to be promoted to partner of the law firm where he has been working for 10 years after a merging operation, and a family man married to gorgeous Jamie Lockwood and father of three children. His best friend is aspiring actor Mitch Planko, who is a single, reckless, unemployed quitter who never finishes what he starts. One night, Dave and Mitch drink a lot, go to a fountain to pee--and both simultaneously wish to have the life of the other. On the next morning, they wake up and discover that they have switched bodies. They return to the square and find that the fountain has moved to an unknown place. Therefore, Mitch needs to become responsible to save the job and the promotion of his friend, while Dave feels how complicated is for him to date his sexy, gorgeous colleague Sabrina McArdle. Sooner they learn more about themselves and also that the life of the other is not as good--and they believe it could be.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
