Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Dave (Jason Bateman) is a corporate lawyer working his way up to partnership and a devoted family man. Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) is a womanising stoner who appears in soft core movies and is distant from his father who is re-marrying.Both envy each other's lifestyles and after peeing in a fountain they body swap.Now Mitch inside Dave's body finds that being a corporate lawyer working on a big merger is no fun while also doing chores for the kids and keeping a wife happy after she has had a Thai meal which gives her the runs.Dave now living Mitch's life finds out that making soft core films is no fun nor is trying to have sex with an extremely pregnant woman.The film has a lot of gross out humour and nudity. A baby crapping on Bateman's face for example. It mixes the body swap premise popular in the 1980s with the crude humour from The Hangover type of films.However despite Reynolds and Bateman having a nice chemistry the film is formulaic despite the rudeness and not really funny.

Two very different friends change up lives with each other. The idea behind the movie was good, and seemed entertaining enough to make a great comedy, however the film never reaches that level. Half way through the movie, it gets boring, as the two protagonist start to evaluate their lives and start to "grow up". After that the whole story becomes so messed up, that the ending is not even satisfying, let alone too predictable. The performances were okay, not too good or too bad, and the jokes were mild, some of them not even funny. So change up ends up being a movie that it is too easy to forget after watching it. So 2 out of 10.

'The Change-Up' isn't entirely hilarious or tightly paced, but for the most part, its fun nonetheless! 'The Change-Up' Synopsis: Dave is a married man with two kids and a loving wife, and Mitch is a single man who is at the prime of his sexual life. One fateful night while Mitch and Dave are peeing in a fountain, lightning strikes and they switch bodies.'The Change-Up' works because its Leads, Ryan Reynolds & Jason Bateman, deliver excellent against-type performances. Both of the talented actors lead 'The Change-Up' & add energy & wit to the goings-on, almost managing to distract us from the film's shaky pace & not-all-out-hilarious Writing Material. Bateman, especially, is a riot, enacting his part with absolute flourish.Also mention-worthy are its supporting players. Leslie Mann is exceptional as Bateman's wife. Her sequences are quite memorable, thanks to her impressive act. Olivia Wilde as Bateman's irresistible assistant, is extremely hot & also competent. Alan Arkin as Reynolds's father, is a treasure in a cameo. Director David Dobkin has hit most of the right notes with 'The Change-Up'. Its flawed, but never dull, either. Watchable for sure!
