The Change up (2011) **1/2



Director: David Dobkin

Cast:

Ryan Reynolds as Mitch Planko

Jason Bateman as Dave Lockwood

Leslie Mann as Jamie Lockwood

Olivia Wilde as Sabrina McArdle

Run time:  112mins

Rating: R (strong crude sexual content and language, some graphic nudity and drug use)


Ok for some reason this movie did not go down very well with the critics, but I don’t see what the problem was. I found it funny, there was a lot of crass humor and poo jokes, full on disrespect of women, parenthood etc etc…very funny. Hell what do you expect that’s what Hollywood has conditioned us to like, and after the disappointment of Hangover 2 this seemed good.

The trailer pretty much tells the story; the plot revolves around childhood buddies Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman). They end up switching bodies after a drunken escapade, what follows is a supposed journey into self discovery and understanding each other’s shortcomings all the while you are bombarded with lots of filthy humor (love!lol).

What I liked about the movie was how both the leads played each other’s parts, it was fun to watch and so darn believable. It’s a popcorn flick, don’t expect anything more; if you head to the theatre with that in mind you will have an ok time.
