The title and description of "The Change-Up" sounded very cute and the cast, including Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman, made it look like a sure winner. I have seen other movies with a similar premise, and expected a light, enjoyable, pleasant movie. So, I tried it. "The Change-Up" was hugely disappointing. This film is offensive, crude, boring, and intolerable. I could not enjoy the occasional humor because of an overload of childish references to bodily functions, scenes such as relieving themselves in a public fountain, gratuitous cursing, overacting, and racist lines such as, "You look like a Jew"... Don't waste your time.
