Body swap movies used to be all the rage.

Freaky Friday.

The Hot Chick.

Freaky Friday — The Lindsay Lohan remake.

But my favourite body swap mention came from the iconic Irish comedy, Father Ted.

Forget Spiderman. Remember Spiderbaby.

Inspired by Father Dougal’s priestly genius, I have devised a feature film based on the hilarity that ensues when an adult swaps minds with a baby. (If this isn’t deemed original enough for Hollywood — ha! — it can be adapted into a Broadway musical.)

Part/Act One

During the opening scene, a new father, Matt Ure-Knott, is out drinking with the boys in a strip club. The boys ask him how he managed to be allowed out so late, and he laughs, telling them it is a woman’s job to stay home with the baby.
