CGiii Comment
The French farce...an acquired taste.
Here, that taste is distinctly unpleasant.
A good premise without the injection of intelligence will always fall flat on its face.
Played for crude laughs - disparaging and definitely racist.

The(ir) Blurb...
Two babies are switched at birth. When the mistake is discovered 12 years later, it leads to complications in the lives of both families. One family is affluent, with dutiful and (apparently) contented children. The other family is poor, with rambunctious (even delinquent) children, often hungry, but with lots of laughter in the house.
