Two friends had a drunken night out together has the two men wishing they could switch lives, but the next morning when the wake up in opposite bodies, it proves the adage of being careful what you wish for. This movie is not funny at all and the movie really forgettable. The characters are mostly horrible or just despicable, just like Ryan Reynolds how is a super ass-hole in the movie and yes you could say that's his character but he was not like his such a dick that he is lovable.

In a raunchy take on a familiar premise, Reynolds and Bateman shine as two opposing characters who swap bodies. The comedic timing and improv skills of the leads make a lot of lesser scenes work. Surprisingly, though I was expecting a dud of a comedy, the film is fairly consistent on laughs and even arrives at some heartwarming conclusions.

Dave and Mich are two best friends living an opposite life, Dave being a family man and Mich as a single independent guy. One night, the two wish for their lives to be switched, the next morning, it happened. *** Without a doubt, this movie gives so much fun and entertainment. But to tell you honestly, I really didn't like the acting that much, though, I honestly appreciate. I can't extract so much from Ryan Reynolds, I know he's trying but that's exactly the point, he's trying to portray his roles which then appeared he's just trying. And he looks awkward this time. Jason Bateman on the other hand, I always see him on a coat-and-tie role, haven't seen him doing more challenging roles, I believe he has something more to offer.

One of my favorite movies this year. Ryan Renolds and Jason Bateman are wonderful actors that take this overdone 'lets switch places' plot to the next level. definatly not a movie for the younger ones of the house, but one that you need to see. I have been loaning this movie out almost since i bought it and everyone has loved it and since purchased it also. I highly advise you to see this comedy.

A formula done a million times (people magically switch bodies) is presented here in an adult sense, but the result is just as tired as before. A baby poops in Jason Bateman's mouth two minutes in and that pretty much sets the tone for this movie. It is nice seeing Bateman in a role he's not usually in (a playboy screw-up). Predictable, a little bland, and not that funny, The Change-Up is a movie you can skip.
