I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The Change up is a Comedy film starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman as friends. Bateman as the successful businessman, and Reynold's as an out of work Actor who spends most of his time smoking weed. When the day came that they both decided to wee in a water fountain, lightning struck in the sky and over night switched bodies. This film had a lot of funny moments, and some some really interesting concepts. Sure this idea has been done many times before in films, and not in this sort of style. Throughout the film, it contains very rude and flashing images as well as bad language. What would you expect from a Comedy film with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman, it's bound to be rude! Would highly recommend this film with mature audiences, very entertaining all the way.

Dave (Jason Bateman) is a corporate lawyer working his way up to partnership and a devoted family man. Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) is a womanising stoner who appears in soft core movies and is distant from his father who is re-marrying.Both envy each other's lifestyles and after peeing in a fountain they body swap.Now Mitch inside Dave's body finds that being a corporate lawyer working on a big merger is no fun while also doing chores for the kids and keeping a wife happy after she has had a Thai meal which gives her the runs.Dave now living Mitch's life finds out that making soft core films is no fun nor is trying to have sex with an extremely pregnant woman.The film has a lot of gross out humour and nudity. A baby crapping on Bateman's face for example. It mixes the body swap premise popular in the 1980s with the crude humour from The Hangover type of films.However despite Reynolds and Bateman having a nice chemistry the film is formulaic despite the rudeness and not really funny.

I'm gonna be honest here, I am not only high, but, I am also watching this on Comedy Central and missed the first hour and a half. I've only seen this movie in parts but pretty sure I watched it all the way through high once before. Just don't remember. It ends like this. The super successful businessman (Jason Batemam) who is actually (Ryan Reynolds) wins some mediation with all of his privileged old white coworkers win 720 million from a group of (I believe Japanese lawyers). Then the laid back immature cool dude (Ryan Reynolds) who is actually played by (Jason Bateman) gets to bang the hottest women in the entire movie but (JB) can't cheat on his wife so leaves. SIDE NOTE: "I don't personally find Ryan Reynolds attractive at all. I am not a homosexual man, but if I was I still would find him ugly". Then the commit public nudity in front of all these kids and adults in a mall and then they're themselves and are sleeping with the women again. 5/10

I like the idea of this movie, the casting is great and everybody is doing his/her job. I had few laughs and as I have written above, if you like comedies and have some time to kill, this is a good choice.However, I think that they could have played a little bit more with the script. At the beginning, we are "told" that Mitch's life is great and Dave's not so much. Of course, a viewer with an average intelligence knows that things are not always as they seem. However, I think that in the end Mitch's life was portrayed really negatively and all perks and good moments in the "Mitch's body" had to be created by Dave himself. What I mean is that writers could have maybe worked a little bit more on Mitch's character.
