Review of The Switch (2010) by Your Movie S — 15 Aug 2012

The plot is about these platonic friends (only guess what, he wishes they weren't) where she has a kid from a sperm donor and moved away from NY. When she returns, he realizes that on a drunk night, he switched the real donor's sperm for his own, and he's really the father of the child.

It can be a pretty funny romantic comedy, though it has more dramatic elements. It has some heart. A lot of it though is really quite clichéd and predictable, but it's usually pretty enjoyable to watch. I think I've watched this one too many times, because it's always on when nothing better is. It's good enough for a first viewing, and sometimes a second but it starts to get a bit worn on the third or fourth view (if it hadn't already). It's pretty decent, average, but it has some nice scenes, though there isn't a lot of memorable material here. It's a pretty good cast, and the most memorable part of it for me was the nice relationship between Wally and Sebastian. It's good for Aniston and Bateman fans, it might be worth a buy for a really cheap price or a watch on TV. It doesn't necessarily have to be seen, but there isn't a lot here that I regret seeing.
