If you were one of the many people who loved Talk To Me, did you ever think to yourself, "What if somebody took this concept but made it a rom-com?" As crazy as it sounds, that's a more plausible idea than you'd think, as the idea of using body-swap/spiritual possession as a vehicle for lighter genre fare goes back decades. A film like Heaven Can Wait used rom-com logic to explore the existential joy and terror of being able to try out new leases on life by having your soul be put into different people's bodies. Another film that did something similar is Chances Are, a mostly forgotten 1989 rom-com by the director of Dirty Dancing, and I assure you that if it were more remembered, it would be widely discussed as one of the more bonkers rom-coms ever made, with insane implications that it freely ballroom dances around.
