Think freaky friday, but a little freakier. It’s What’s Inside is a fresh twist to the age-old premise of a disastrous reunion among estranged friends. Set in a remote mansion, the body-swap comedy takes the familiar setup of a chaotic bachelor party and flips it on its head.
The set-up: Shelby (Brittany O’Grady) and Cyrus (James Morosini) are a couple stuck in a bit of a rut after nine years together, with no engagement ring in sight and their love life feeling more like a distant memory — but Shelby is desperate to reignite the spark. Their love life takes a wild and unpredictable turn when old friend Forbes (David W. Thompson) rolls out a machine that allows them to swap bodies by sticking electrodes to their heads at the bachelor party for the friend Reuben (Devon Terrell). What follows is a wild, eight-way mind-switching game filled with secrets, tensions and life-changing moments, as the characters navigate their new identities and the truths they’ve been hiding.
It’s a fun and entertaining watch: The film mixes humor with some suprisingly thought-provoking moments commenting on social media and how we see ourselves. The narrative can feel a bit messy and some of the body-swapping logic is left unexplored — but the plot twist is worth the watch.
