A simple wish wrecks havoc on a typical family in this role-reversal comedy starring Pauly Shore, and continuing in the tradition as such beloved comedies as Freaky Friday, Vice Versa, and 18 Again!. When an overburdened couple passes their nine year old son Sammy and eight year old daughter Carla off to the children's grandparents for a weekend vacation into the mountains, Sammy makes a wish for kids to be in charge of the world instead of adults. But Sammy never suspected that his wish would ever be granted, and when the little ones realize how much work it takes to be a grown-up, they quickly begin searching for a way to get things back to normal.
