Kirk Cameron continues to experience Growing Pains (1985-1992) ;-) in this Freaky Friday update from the decade of excess. A brain transference serum has Jack Hammond and his son Chris switch bodies and wreak havoc on each other's lives. The search is on for a former Goonies (1985) uncle who holds the key to restoring balance. If you ask me, Like Father Like Son was the better of the two body swap movies during the Reagan era, but who am I to judge? ;-)
Like Father Like Son was filmed in Los Feliz, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Los Angeles and San Diego, CA
Location: The Hammond House
Address: 3959 Longridge Avenue, Sherman Oaks, CA
More notable for being Kelly Taylor's House from Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-2000), which is why I had originally visited this location so these are not exactly matching shots. The house is completely hidden by trees and branches now. The back of the house is mostly seen in the film...
Location: Trigger's House
Address: 4242 Agnes Avenue, Studio City, CA
This is just a few houses down from Dottie Hinson's house from A League Of Their Own (1992).

The Hammond house was purchased by actress Lily Tomlin and her wife, Jane Wagner, in 1999 and they still live there today. It has been remodeled several times and added on to.
ReplyDeleteThanks for info!
DeleteHouse Fan, please, would you know which architect designed the house for this film? I know it was also used on Beverly Hills 90210 locations. Thanks for your attention!
