Movie: The Change-Up

I loved freaky Friday. The comedy of the film, the execution, the cast was all 'A Grade'. However that was more of a kiddy film, so if you want your freaky Friday with a bit more kick, adult features and men in very interesting situations, HO HO HO this movie is so for you.

I have to admit although i love Ryan Reynolds (Guys Hot) his movie's although funny, have never really been more than a 3 for me (yes including proposal) or crack my rib kinda fun. So i wasn't really fussed about the film, i had already marked it a slide for the eyes*, that all changed after watching this film. Director David Dobkin couldn't have had a better cast, that not only feed off each other but compliment each other as well.

The film is a typical switch-a-roo movie, two people switch lives and have to make do with the out-come and deal with the others lives. The story line of 'The Change-Up' is no different. The only difference is the comedic effect that Bateman and Reynolds bring to the set. 

Reynolds is the happy go lucky loser slacker, with too much time and too much sex, while Bateman is the overworked father of three with too little time and too little sex, with a quick piss in a fountain (you'd think they learned) sha-bang, lives a la switch. They play each other so well, we can't but laugh and laugh harder as the dynamic duo goes through very disgusting situations with pregnant people, bikers and breasts, that we can't but be entertained.

With a stellar support cast such as Olivia Wilder, Leslie Mann, Alan Arkin. This film had everything a good comedy needs

3.5/5
