Review of The Change-Up (2011) by Jill R — 11 Apr 2012
Oh boy. I don't know why I watched this exactly. My friend is sort of going through a body swap movie phase, and I figured "Why not! It has Jason Bateman in it." Ugh don't ever see this movie.
It's far from funny, unless you're interested in poop jokes and nothing more witty than the utterance of the word "penis" on a playground. It follows the formula you expect of all body swap movies, but there's a way to do this well.
There's a way to make this funny and warm and empathetic but none of that is here. Sorry Jason Bateman. Not even the the bright humanity beaming from your skull can save this one.
