The Change-Up

The Change-Up, starring Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds, sets out with a familiar but always promising premise — two very different people magically swapping lives. We've seen this blueprint before in movies like The Parent Trap, Face/Off, and Trading Places, and while the idea is still genius in its simplicity, this version struggles to keep it fresh. Bateman and Reynolds are both naturally funny and deliver some great moments early on. Their chemistry and timing definitely help keep the first half of the movie moving at a decent pace. But somewhere around the midway point, the concept starts to feel tired. The jokes become more predictable, the emotional beats feel forced, and the story loses the energy it started with. While it’s far from a disaster and certainly has its entertaining moments, The Change-Up ultimately feels like a comedy that leans too heavily on a recycled idea without doing quite enough to make it feel new again.

This is a fun flick, with 2 of my favorite actors. Despite being able to guess what was going to happen, all the good acting from the entire cast kept me engaged.

Garbage film with filthy disgusting jokes and poor characters.

A spin on the body switching genre of movies, introducing Jason Bateman as a business, family man and Ryan Reynolds as a sexually-charged heathen of little motivation. When they switch, that's when the fun begins. If the fun is boring situations of little acting on both stars’ part. While they boast funny voices as always, as their specialty, they did little to improve how different they are from each other. Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds, after a body swap, felt like…Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds, with only minor differences in character. The movie was entertaining at times, and I love the leads, but everyone else sort of fell short and there was a bunch of unnecessary nudity throughout the film which seemed to be a shock factor because of Ryan Reynolds’ original character. The movie was fine, nothing extraordinary, and not unwatchable. But it was very much of a slug to get through.

What an awful movie when it comes to morality. It’s a shame there are some pretty big actors choosing to play in that movie. You can do so much better… for others, for your families, for kids, for society. Unfortunately, a lot of sexual content in the movie and behaviour which we should not treat lightly.

the WAY OVER THE TOP, OVER acting by Jason had me turning the channel-there's funny and then there's this-2 stars becasue mom and kids were funny

Can go with the overdone plot,but why make almost all of the characters so self-centered.They did't seem to care too much about not wrecking their friends life while they sorted things out,just ultimately wanted to get back to their own life.Had some good humor,but a lot of brash humor.Killed some time I guess?

La descripción perfecta de "escrito por hombre"

I really enjoyed it. Good comedy.

So, Ryan Reynolds was acting like Deadpool since....his entire career?? Also the movie was boring with unfunny humor
