Change-Up
Synopsis:
The movie stated with 2 best friends: Dave (Jason Bateman) and Mitch (Ryan Reynolds). Dave is a successful lawyer with a high pay job married to a beautiful wife, Jamie (Leslie Mann), having 3 kids and lived in a suburban home. Mitch is a part-time actor cum unemployed, living single life with no real attachment and lived in an apartment. Dave envy the life what Mitch is currently living, where he gets to go out with different girls, no responsibility, having his own private time while Mitch would love to be in Dave's shoe where he has everything a successful guy would love to have. Then one drinking session night, Mitch and Dave suddenly switch body after peeing in a fountain while wishing together to change their lives. In the beginning, Mitch and Dave are unable to get used to each other life and proceed to be involve in some hilarious moments. To complicate matters, the fountain was relocated to another site yet to be known. But after a while, Dave now in Mitch body starts to enjoy life especially when he now has the opportunity to go after her sexy legal assistance, Sabrina (Olivia Wilde) while Mitch now in Dave body started to feel responsible towards the legal works and taking care of the children. When the fountain was found, Mitch and Dave were having second thoughts about switching back to their own selves but in the end, both found out about the value of their own lives and changes their lives forever.
Review:
This body changing formula has been used many times like Freaky Friday, 18 Again, The Hot Chick and the same formula is also applied to this movie, Change-Up with many hilarious moments. From my experience, this is perhaps the best body-changing movie perhaps due to its "R-Rated" where many scenes of nude scenes which is necessary in this movie, profanity languages which is abundant from start till end, and drug usage too. When all these combined together, we have a no-hold-barred funny comedy that work very well in this movie. I think all actors, actresses and babies played their part really well in this movie especially 2 hot leading guys in Ryan Reynold and Jason Bateman. I particularly like Jason Bateman more in this movie and his acting is much better compared to Ryan but i guess it is because of his role where he got to portray a young wild guy in an old man's body. The movie is never boring and the laugh started from the get go until the final credit. If you stayed a little longer during the end credit, there is some more scenes. Overall this is a satisfying adult comedy movie.
Verdict:
I give this a 3.5 star out of 5 for being a higher than average comedy movie.
