body switching

So I'm just wondering - how many movies are there with body switching and why do people seem to be turned on by this idea. It's clearly nothing new.

They all have the same idea. At first they hate the fact that they are in someone else's body, then they try to exploit their position, with a couple of really cheap jokes...then eventually everyone realizes how much they miss their own body and yay...everyone learns the lesson about being happy with yourself and recognize that the grass is always greener on the other side. Or they are able to learn about walking a mile in someone else's shoes so the speak.

What I don't understand is how on earth this keeps being a realistic scenario - in the history of the world has anyone ever been switched into some else's body. No - this has never happened! Why is this idea so popular.

Also - why do people never want to tell anyone what's happened. Like why does it need to be some giant secret. Like sure maybe someone has some super important event that they need to be prepared for and can't do anything about it. Obviously it you explain what's going on people will not be like no we don't care about your explanation -

I guess they would think you're crazy...

These movies just to sum up - never good.

  1. The Change-Up? Freaky Friday? I agree, but it's just 'cause they're easy entertainment.
