We've all seen it. Hollywood frequently come back to the paradigm of changing bodies(or places). Background changed up a little bit in The change up but its still a cliché. Humour is very low and first few seconds of the movie explains it very vividly but if you ll manage to look pass it ll get better. I personally liked scenes with Olivia Wild she has really strong screen presence (or maybe its just because she so damn HOT). Anyway there will be few laughs and few WTF. Although film is predictable and starts off awfully I must say its one of few that I liked among 'OMG we changed our bodies' clichés.

The story is about 2best friends Dave Lockwood(Jason Bateman) and Mitch Planko (Ryan Reynolds) which after drunken night change up their bodies. That of course lead to awkward situations, gags and rediscovering your own I. Dave is a lawyer with 3 kids and loving wife.Mitch is completely different person without career, living like a men-child and chasing skirt all the time (he also had daddy issues). Jason Bateman as an actor (and probably as a person) completely lacks charisma so he s tailor made for role of Dave. (btw he always play the same guy). The thing is that after the "change" it just doesn't work any more. As douche he cant convey anything beside few facial expressions. Same goes for Reynolds although he doesn't act he just looks pretty. But who da hell cares about acting while watching light and for most parts brain-dead comedy.

I recommend it to all those who have not much experience with cinema. If want to have some fun and leave cinema rather with a smile then without this is for you. For the rest of us it will work only when we're sad at the moment with out anything better to do. Oh and whats important we get to see Olivia almost naked +1 for da movie thanks to her :P
