Summary
When it comes to Matt and Alex, you couldn’t find more complete opposites. Alex has grown up without his own maternal figure, works out, lives on his own, is single, and is probably the most trusted person at his company. Matt, on the other hand, is dating someone, has two moms, who have babied him all his life and is lazy in both his personal and professional life. Yet, despite these differences, these two are friends. They work together, drink together, and after a homeless man, after caressing himself, smacks both, they switch bodies.
Which, in Freaky Friday

Highlights
It’s All About Personality
While one could point out his moms spoiling him as a reason for his confidence, despite that, you have to love how comfortable Matt is with himself. Especially in terms of showing that size isn’t everything – weight wise. Hence why Alex is not only single but his only friend is Matt. Which I know isn’t anything new, there are a ton of heavyset guys like Matt out there.
However, I think it should be noted, just like women have complexes over their body and think if they were skinny, this or that, life would be better, so would men. So considering how Matt’s relationship is with his Holly, who loves him as he is, you have to appreciate that. For even though Matt is kind of an ass, it’s not at that point where you think this is more about fantasy than reality.

On The Fence
If You’re Into Stoner Comedies, Or Ones Which Do Not Wish To Be Politically Correct, This Is For You
There were so many moments when I thought to myself, if I was under the influence, I would be dying of laughter. For there is something about this movie which appeals to that immature kid in you. The one who finds dick jokes funny, little kids who curse, and characters who are over the top. Which is in this movie plenty. Dick jokes come in the form of people getting boners, the shock of a trans person revealing themselves, and people either randomly getting jacked off or smearing fake cum over their face. Yeah, it gets weird. But, if that kind of comedy appeals to you, the weirder this gets, the more interesting you’ll find it.
It’s Two Hours
I honestly can’t say you’ll sit down and finish this movie all in one shot. As funny as it is, and as much as it throws in a little sexual content to try to maintain your focus, you’ll slip every now and then. One reason for that is there isn’t a strong pursuit in addressing either character’s issues. Take Alex’s mom abandoning him. That little tidbit is dropped a little more than halfway through the movie and as much as you could imagine that giving the film something more to deliver than laughs, it doesn’t really get built on.
Making it where, if you become accustomed to the gross-out humor, you might start to stray away from your screen – if not the movie altogether.

Overall: Mixed (Divisive) | Watch On Amazon
Slapped! The Movie requires a certain sense of humor to enjoy. Otherwise, between the gross-out humor or politically incorrect comedy, you’ll find yourself walking away. Especially since it escalates as the movie goes on.
Hence the mixed label. Though the comedy doesn’t fully appeal to me, when I got over how gross some moments were, and just thought about how weird it must have been between actors to be in the situation, I laughed and laughed. Really making the only issues how long this film is, and that the sole thing it gives you is humor. These two things may test your ability to finish the film, especially if your sense of humor isn’t in tune with what Slapped! Is selling. But, if you like gross-out, politically incorrect, maybe even stoner comedy style humor, this movie is for you.
