Director Joseph McGinty Nichol, known professionally as McG, previously told PEOPLE what makes this film different from other body-swapping comedies.
“It just adds a twist, and it’s the hook and the entrance to a movie that’s about empathy and walking in other people’s shoes. But just the six-way switch, I think, sets us apart because there’s just more fun to be had,” he said.
McG shared with PEOPLE that the holiday movie also has a valuable lesson for all audiences.

“You can listen and not take it to heart, but to understand … you have to consider and think, and go beyond what you’ve heard. Once you understand where the person you’re talking to is coming from – it’s your mom, your child , a dog or a baby — then maybe you can hope to be understood,” McG said. “Everything will be a little better in the end.”
As for whether Garner would ever want to take part in a real-life body-swapping experience, she previously told PEOPLE that she has no interest in reliving her younger years.
“I think my kids work so hard and have so much pressure on them that I never could have imagined as a teenager. I’m going to stay here in my old lady body, thank you very much,” Garner said.
When asked if she would ever trade places with her children — Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11, who she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck — she told PEOPLE that she’d rather “trade places with Ed’s kids.”
