Let me just start off by saying that this movie was criminally underrated, thousands of reviewers gave it negative reviews, but let me tell you something, I had a fantastic time, I laughed out loud much more than once, the acting was amazing, the plot was a bit of cliché but it was amazing and the movie worked perfectly, The Change-Up is a raunchy hilarious comedy with heart. I highly recommend it, you'll might hear cussing lots of times, you'll might experience lots of highly raunchy jokes, but well, you'll just see yourself laughing like a maniac and having an excellent time. Now, let me tell you something, I'm honestly a person with a great taste for movies and I have a very reasonable list of favorite movies, not only by my point of view and even though I think this decision might not have been that reasonable for everyone, I just have no doubts that The Change-Up is my 4th favorite movies, I mean, I had an excellent time, I was highly entertaining and I loved everything about it, how could I possibly not give it a lower rate than 10?
Dave (Jason Bateman) is a successful married and a three-son fathered lawyer. Mitch (Ryan Reynolds), well, he's the opposite, he's a useless guy that just likes to get high, get laid, stay at home and only working on useless commercials or 'lornos'. Dave and Mitch were best pals during a long time but time has separate them away. One day, they decide to meet each other again at a bar. In one night where everything was supposed to be like a reunion of best friends drinking some beers, turned into a night where they both mention that they envy each other's life and when they decide to pee at a fountain, wishing to have each other's life, next thing they know is seeing themselves waking up in each others body. Who says men can't change?
Body-switch script, who cares? Yes, it has been used, but well, I think it was an amazing plot with hilarious details and characters that make us forget about how stupid body-switch is. I loved this plot and I think it was hilarious and amazingly written, it highly surpasses Freaky Friday's plot.
David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) did a great job and I'm glad he took this plot and he just went for it. Jason Bateman (Horrible Bosses) was fantastic, I always found him really funny and an amazing actor, but here, they tested how far he could go and oh boy, he went too far, Jason was freaking hilarious, he played two characters and he did a terrific job, he was raunchy, very raunchy indeed, but he was hilarious and I completely loved his performance, his amazing performance. Ryan Reynolds was fantastic as well, he was hilarious and this was definitely the best role of his entire career, I loved his hilarious raunchy performance, Ryan, let me give you a piece of advice, forget Green Lanter, stick to these kinds of comedies, that's what you're amazing at. Sow, the two central amazing performances by Jason and Ryan are really the ones that stand out, but there was also some solid performances by the rest of the cast, completed by Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde and Alan Arkin.
Sow, ignore the idiotic reviews about this movie, this movie isn't bad at all, I highly recommend and it's the best comedy I've seen since Horrible Bosses, it's smart, it's raunchy, it's hilarious, it's fun, it's entertaining, it's well-acted and it's hilarious, there's nothing like The Change-Up, forget the teen comedy Freaky Friday and stick to the adult R rated comedy The Change-Up, which is completely worth being watched and I'll watch it much more times. Watch it if you haven't, it has everything an amazing comedy needs, I highly recommend it and I highly recommend it. I think the reviewers only wanted to play smart guys, I'm sure they liked something, cause from what I've seen, what's there not to like? I'm sure they've watched a different version, cause this movie has no flaw, it's flawless, it's perfect, it's my 4th favorite movie.
Mitch's Dad: I'm getting married again and I'd like you to come to the wedding. Mitch: When's the wedding? Mitch's Dad: Next Saturday. My betrothed, Pamela, would like you to be there to say a few words. Mitch: I'll catch the next one...
