Specimen

Mark Paul Goesselaar fans won't be disappointed with Specimen. They're probably too young to remember Firestarter or The Terminator so they won't recognize where most of the plot came from. Mike (played by Goesselaar, who was the blonde kid on the original TV show "Saved by the Bell") starts fires with his mind and is probably a spawn from an alien species. He is tracked down by Eleven, a bounty-hunter/racial-cleanser/clean-up-janitor--who knows?--but Eleven really wants to destroy Mike. Most of this chase takes place in the largest community center in the free world. For all its plot and scene pilfering, there's an attempt at originality (Mike has to sleep in the bathtub to keep from burning down the house), but most of the time, this film can barely produce a spark. --Keith Simanton

27 years ago they came from space to plant a seed in the womb of Carol Hillary. Now they're back to reclaim their own. When a mysterious alien presence shatters the calm of sleepy Spruce Lake, Mark Hillary must face the aliens that created him.

A Saintly Switch

This delectable family flick (produced by Disney TV), which dishes up ample guffaws all around, is based on the premise that empathy comes only when we've walked a mile in another man's--or woman's--shoes. For Sara Anderson (Vivica Fox of TV's "City of Angels"), those shoes are football cleats belonging to her husband, quarterback Dan Anderson (played by David Alan Grier of TV's "In Living Color"). At the film's opening, Dan and Sara are experiencing marital fallout. According to their preteen children, Clark and Annette, Mom thinks Dad is a dork who would rather travel around the country just to push some ball across the field than spend time with his family. And Dad thinks Mom's job--staying at home and teaching art history on the side--would be a cinch. When a new position with the Saints takes the family to New Orleans, the Andersons purchase a dilapidated mansion that once belonged to a sorceress. There's still a bit of magical potion left in the attic, so, as a last-ditch effort to save their parents' marriage, Clark and Annette cast a spell on Mom and Dad. The next morning Dan and Sara awaken to discover they inhabit each other's bodies. In order to prevent anyone's discovery of their predicament, Dan-as-Sara now has to contend with nail polish, makeup, and a first-trimester pregnancy. Equally difficult, Sara-as-Dan must report for football training without a notion of how the game is played. The stage is set for gaffes galore and some priceless commentary on the differences between the sexes. The remaining question is whether the children can reverse the spell of the saintly switch without breaking the magic of a much-improved marriage. (Ages 7 and older.) --Lynn Gibson

Get ready for a hilarious family misadventure starring Vivica A. Fox (ELLA ENCHANTED) and David Alan Grier (TV's LIFE WITH BONNIE, JUMANJI) as a mom and dad who take each other for granted ... until their kids secretly discover the spell book of a notorious New Orleans voodoo queen! But instead of getting their parents to appreciate each other ... they've magically switched places. Mom goes off to play professional football while Dad attempts to cook and clean! Your entire family will love laughing along with A SAINTLY SWITCH'S Anderson family as they learn what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes ... or, in this case, cleats and fuzzy slippers!
