THE CHANGE-UP
STARRING: Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin and Leslie Mann
DIRECTOR: David Dobkin
GENRE: Comedy
SYNOPSIS: A father of two switches bodies with his single best friend.
RATING: R
RUNNING TIME: 112 Mins
THE GOOD: There are several funny moments in this film and you will definitely laugh…
Jason Bateman (HORRIBLE BOSSES, COUPLES RETREAT, UP IN THE AIR, JUNO and THE BREAK UP) has come a long way from VALERIE’S FAMILY (1986-1991). He should be applauded for being one of the few child actors to make the transition to adult actor.
THE BAD: Just like recent BRIDEMAIDS, raunchy and sweet don’t mix well. You feel like you are watching two different movies. And neither one of them is very good.
THE UGLY: The puckering anus…
MY SCORE: ***
(3 OUT OF 5 STARS)
