Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

John Brooks Metascores and the cinema "specialist" clique will only rate a comedy if it's cynical, tries really hard to be clever and above everything else. So if a comedy comes across as obviously too mainstream, as having a "boring redundant same old chorus" of a "predictable" moral at the end and feels genuine and positive, then it's a complete failure and waste of time.Looking at the premise, the poster and the kind of promotion this film has brought upon itself you'd think it was only good for one laugh while half-wasted, and that's it. But that's just not the case.It immediately establishes that it's going to be that comedy that actually gave a darn and put effort into writing the jokes. We're not fed tripe, there's a real spirit in the humor here - and Reynolds as always provides his own quality touch where if you've seen him a couple of times before you know he's added some of the lines himself. The film is pretty swift at establishing the characters, some of the tensions, and delivering the premise straight away without messing around. And as that happens, as the two leads swap bodies and roles, we're given a realistic depiction onscreen of what that would really be like, the film doesn't just go right for the completely goofy ridiculous scenes and as it progresses, it's actually well acted out, well scripted, very well paced and, impressively mature. This was genuinely given some thought on where to go from A to B to C, so on, from the introductory setup to the later stages. Sure there's a little bit of improbable plot magic, but it's kept in check commendably well: a vast majority of what's going on makes sense and rings true. And where such a film usually pushes way too hard on the humor eventually, this keeps it fresh and interesting every time it should've crashed considering its category.A special mention to Leslie Mann who does surprisingly well (!). She helps convey key emotions for the plot and delivers in pivotal scenes that could've turned to trash very easily. Instead, there's real purpose and significance to those scenes, and she in particular did really well. The film poses questions as you'd expect from such a synopsis: two guys, mutually polar opposites, switch lives...surely they discover how much they loved their old regular life, but also the infatuating prospect of falling right into the perfect framework created by the other where all those new options are available...It's funny from start to finish, really funny in parts - it's full of twists and turns, nowhere near the linear development one would think; and it's totally coherent and fluid. I'm going to go out of my way here, and actually give this a proper 8/10. For its kind, it's one of the best I've ever seen and could hope to watch.

nithirun Before I watch this movie, I saw rating on this web is only 6. I think it will not be the good movie enough to see. But when I saw it, I change my mind. It have many thing that similar to other movie but there are something new to me too. Many scene is very funny. If you look only story, it is very good one. This movie teach a lots of think. Friends, Family, Love is important. Movie have some Rate-R scene because of sex, language ,and boobs but it not too much to me. If you don't be serious with that look it as joke. This movie is not too bad for teenager (It is too bad for children but it warn you with this rate)So it is comedy movie that you need to see.

americangirlinuk Love this movie! Just wanted to say to the people writing reviews, his name is Jason Bateman, not Justin!! Really?? Buy it, you'll love it. Jason and Ryan are great and work together so well. I haven't seen the theatrical version, just the unrated so can't compare, but loved it. There is a lot of potty mouth in this movie, but I think it added to the hilarity and wouldn't have been the same without it, but may offend some I suppose. I'm so not easily offended so I was crackin up. I've never left a movie review before, but the people leaving a review without getting the main actors name right really irritated me. If you are going to take the time to write a review and give credit to a talented actor at least get the name right. How offensive to get Jason's name wrong!

lisafordeay The Change Up is a body swapping comedy about two men,one whom is a loving dotting father named Dave(played by Jason Bateman) who is fed up with his life as his wife (played by Leslie Mann from George of the jungle)is always whining and always has Dave minding the twins,while the other is a porn actor called Mitch(played by Ryan Reynolds)who enjoys getting it on with women. But their lives will change forever when they leak into a fountain one night and wish to swap each other's lives,leading them to swap places. Now Mitch is Dave,and Dave is Mitch and they have to try and find the fountain in order to go back to their normal lives. But can they really pull off as each other.Overall this film is hilarious. The comedy is rude and hilarious and im not really a fan of rude comedies except for Dumb & Dumber as that is my favourite comedy of all time but this one was really(and I mean) REALLY RUDE and disgusting.If you are a fan of Reynolds and sex comedies with A lot of nudity then check it out. Keep your ears open for the Chuck music theme(starring Zachary Levi) in this film near the middle half of the film.Overall its a 5 out of 10 for the film and the comedy gets a 6 out of ten. 5.6 out of 10.
