A funny and energetic comedy starring Burt Reynolds, Kathleen Turner and Christopher Reeve. Of this trio, Kathleen Turner is the only one who's acclaimed for her acting ability, but with a great script and wise directing, "Switching Channels" is a blast! This film is a recreation of "His Girl Friday." A love triangle is created when Turner becomes engaged with Reeve when Reynolds, a former love, becomes jealous. Reynolds conceives ways to keep Turner from moving away with Reeve. The plot is only mediocre, but "Switching Channels" is very fun.
