It has become extremely easier for us to compare each other's life than a decade ago when this movie was created. With our inseparable smartphones that enable us to approach numerous ways to compare and makes us think "What if I had a family like that celebrity who has a giant house with a beautiful wife and kids?" or "What if I had not got married too early and stayed single to enjoy what I had dreamt of doing for rest of my life?"

The plot was intriguing as Dave, a father of 3 children -- two of them being newborn twins -- with a wife whose is being overlooked by a workaholic husband, gets his body switched with his best friend, Mitch, who enjoys a single life by working once a week as a light-porn actor after inadvertently wishing their life getting switched, which ended up happening in real life.

The movie did a great job at showing various aspects in which we can relate to, but not want to openly admit them. For example, not every married couple fully stays dedicated to a single person without romanticizing their secret crush by human instinct. Another one was being a father/mother does not always exude happy vibes around people because taking care of children requires dedication, hard works and sleepless hours with almost zero privacy, especially during the early childhood stage.

The cast and acting were well executed as it required two actors to play two different roles interchangeably without using the same tone and wording. The only critique was this movie being quite explicit with a porn-level nudity that it should have been 18+ instead of 14+.

"The Change-Up" was a type of movie that should be watched by people who tend to put themselves into someone's shoes by envying others. One of the important lessons you could learn from it was the true happiness comes from being yourself.
