All of Me
Tumblr media
All of Me    [trailer]
A dying millionaire has her soul transferred into a younger, willing woman. However, something goes wrong, and she finds herself in her lawyer's body - together with the lawyer.

Side note, seeing Steve Martin's physical comedy, it's hard not to think of Jim Carrey (or vice versa).
