If I Was Him

About This Movie

If I Was Him is a curious blend of comedy and drama, with a unique premise that feels both whimsical and oddly dark. The story revolves around a struggling architect who, after a fateful encounter with a sorcerer, swaps identities with his more successful coworker. The tone shifts between lighthearted banter and deeper reflections on identity and envy, which gives it a layered atmosphere. Performances are decent, with both leads capturing the essence of their characters' frustrations and desires. The pacing can be uneven, but that adds to its charm, as it doesn't conform to typical narrative structures. Practical effects are minimal but serve the narrative well, enhancing the fantastical elements without overshadowing the emotional core of the story.

Unique identity swap concept · Mix of comedy and drama · Decent performances by the leads
