I don’t think this kind of direct-to-video horror-thriller crap is what Sarah Michelle Gellar had in mind when she quit TV’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer in order to seek more interesting projects. A woman blissfully married to a perfect husband must share their home with husband’s seriously bad-ass parolee brother. A freak but picturesque head-on collision results in comas for both brothers. Bad brother is the first to awake, but, golly, he has somehow become the good brother inside. It’s Freaky Friday! Looks great, but weak performances and meandering plot make you wish you were somewhere (or someone) else.
