About Summertime Switch
For the summer, troublemaker Freddie Egan is being sent to a camp-style juvenile detention center, while spoiled rich-kid Frederick Egan III is going to a luxurious getaway for kids of the elite. Until a name mix-up at the bus-boarding area sends the boys to each other's destinations, and while Eddie gets a taste of the good life, Frederick has to deal with being without all his usual comforts. Eventually, they both learn some valuable life-lessons.
Directed by Alan Metter, Summertime Switch leans on a strong ensemble — Jason Weaver, Rider Strong, Richard Moll — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1994.
