Movie #298 "The Switch" is a smart romantic comedy for adults. I really like the way the film plays to the abilities of the cast, from Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Patrick Wilson, Juliette Lewis and the adorable kid who fears he is a hypochondriac. I can truly say I have never seen this story before, so I liked the newness of it within a genre that is pretty constricting --- how can you deviate from goy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, they have a fight and get back together? But this one takes risks, and considering the main character's prime fault is that he never does, this movie should get the audience it deserves because it really tries. And not too hard because it never crossed the stupid line for me. Jason Batman and Jennifer Aniston keep it real and believable, and I recommend it. I rated it a 4 because it just too kind of long to get to the end. Otherwise, I found it most enjoyable!
Average rating: 3.556
I gave it 4 stars.
The Switch
(2010) PG-13
Still single and increasingly attuned to the cacophony of her biological clock, 40-something Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) decides that if she can't find a mate she'll still pursue motherhood with the help of a sperm sample that's not quite as anonymous as she thinks. As the baby grows up, Kassie's best friend, Wally (Jason Bateman), agonizes over whether to reveal that he secretly replaced the donor sample with his own DNA.
