All change, no originality

The Change-Up (2011)

Directed by David Dobkin this comedy stars Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman and Leslie Mann. A married man with kids and his single best friend swap bodies.

There are two ways too look at this film, if you have never seen another body swap film then it is not too bad but if you have ever seen another body swap film then this film is entirely predictable. As soon as the body swap happens you know exactly how things are going to play out and at that point the film is going to need a huge amount of charm to get anywhere. This is not the worst film of it's type but at this point it really could have done with something original in the script at any point.
