Breaking the 4th wall by not breaking the 4th wall

I’ve started watching a body-swap movie called Family Swap. It isn’t great so far, but you really gotta respect this bit of lampshade hanging. One character is googling for body swapping on her cell phone. This conversation takes place among the four family members:

  • CC, any luck?

  • No. This is a completely unique and original situation that has literally never happened before.

  • Right? I mean, no kid has ever just woken up big.

  • Yeah, it’s so freaky.

  • You’re telling me. I’m 17 again.

  • I’m 13 going on 30.
