Let's be realistic.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
this sex scene had all blood in my brain rush to my pecker so fast that i passed out, wish i got to see the entire movie i will definitely be watching it again and again and again i am utterly obsesssed in this sex scene i just watched it yet again and passed out again the god damn olivia wilde got me so messed up brother
The Change-Up (2011): Dir: David Dobkin / Cast: Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin: Dreadful comedy about moving up in responsibility. It is one of those lame body switch rehashes with Jason Bateman as a successful lawyer with a wife and two children, and Ryan Reynolds as a struggling dope smoking actor. After a night on the town they discuss their issues then their bodies switch when they both urinate into a fountain. The rest is fairly predictable and lame. Director David Dobkin previously made another vulgar comedy called The Wedding Crashers. The difference is that film is actually funny while this one is just disgusting. We are given more images of naked children than what a child pornographer could keep up with. Even up close shots of a child's naked ass as sh*t shoots out and into the face and mouth of one of the characters. This is not funny, it's desperate. Even the foul language that is peppered through it comes off as a desperate last take a comedy. Bateman and Reynolds are both capable comic actors who have succeeded in far better films than this. Here they search for the fountain, which has been removed, so that they can urinate in it again and switch back. Leslie Mann is given the thankless role as Bateman's wife, and Olivia Wilde is cardboard as Bateman's co-worker who will be set up on a date with Reynolds. Both females are there for sexual jokes and insults. Alan Arkin plays the father of the Reynolds character and this is not a highlight of his resume. This is a dire comedy that should be pi**ed upon by a group of drunks. Score: 2 / 10
'The Change-Up' isn't entirely hilarious or tightly paced, but for the most part, its fun nonetheless! 'The Change-Up' Synopsis: Dave is a married man with two kids and a loving wife, and Mitch is a single man who is at the prime of his sexual life. One fateful night while Mitch and Dave are peeing in a fountain, lightning strikes and they switch bodies.'The Change-Up' works because its Leads, Ryan Reynolds & Jason Bateman, deliver excellent against-type performances. Both of the talented actors lead 'The Change-Up' & add energy & wit to the goings-on, almost managing to distract us from the film's shaky pace & not-all-out-hilarious Writing Material. Bateman, especially, is a riot, enacting his part with absolute flourish.Also mention-worthy are its supporting players. Leslie Mann is exceptional as Bateman's wife. Her sequences are quite memorable, thanks to her impressive act. Olivia Wilde as Bateman's irresistible assistant, is extremely hot & also competent. Alan Arkin as Reynolds's father, is a treasure in a cameo. Director David Dobkin has hit most of the right notes with 'The Change-Up'. Its flawed, but never dull, either. Watchable for sure!
Love this movie! Just wanted to say to the people writing reviews, his name is Jason Bateman, not Justin!! Really?? Buy it, you'll love it. Jason and Ryan are great and work together so well. I haven't seen the theatrical version, just the unrated so can't compare, but loved it. There is a lot of potty mouth in this movie, but I think it added to the hilarity and wouldn't have been the same without it, but may offend some I suppose. I'm so not easily offended so I was crackin up. I've never left a movie review before, but the people leaving a review without getting the main actors name right really irritated me. If you are going to take the time to write a review and give credit to a talented actor at least get the name right. How offensive to get Jason's name wrong!
