Like Father Like Son is a 1987 comedy film starring
Kirk Cameron and
Dudley Moore. This film has a similar premise to but is not a direct remake of the 1976 classic
Disney film
Freaky Friday. The film is one of four body swap comedies to appear in the space of a year; the others were the
Italian film
Da grande (1987),
18 Again! (1988) and
Vice Versa (1988). The blockbuster
Big had a similar premise as well. Shortly thereafter,
Dream a Little Dream (1989) also had a body swap theme involving teenagers.
