I don't see why not. I never got the impression that they were THAT wealthy that they would not raise a finger. I mean dude was an olympic athlete. I could imagine he would remain physical. I think you are relying on cliches about how older rich white people should act.

I am not 100% in disagreement with you. The grandparents thing was kind of sprung on us. I think the story would have worked perfectly fine with how it was headed, they hypnotized black people to be their types of negroes. I don't think they needed the body transplant angle. But it wasn't nearly as distracting to me as it was for you.

I thought the movie was funny through out. Misery type funny. I didn't feel a sudden shift in tone. *shrug*
