Before watching this, I was surprised I haven't come across the movie earlier, after watching this, I get why. I've watched a lot of the other bodies-were-exchanged sort of movies and yet the Change-Up has something new and refreshing to offer. A warning though, if you get easily offended or grossed out, sit this one out. Overall, the movie isn't just funny, there's also a storyline you can follow and enjoy. It's heartwarming and disgusting at the same time, a very unique combination. I would have added a star if it ended a bit earlier since it felt like the movie was dragging at parts just to drive home the message.

It almost feels like Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds are playing themselves/every other character they always play so it isn't a surprise when they carry these roles with ease. It's definitely not as bad as so many have claimed, yes it's a body-change movie, what else did you expect? It's predictive, vulgar, cliché, and yet funny.

Add it to a light Sunday watch maybe?
