The Switch 2010

Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) and Wally (Jason Bateman) are best friends. Being unlucky in love Kassie has decided to have a child using artificial insemination. Wally doesnt like this idea but he isnt capable of admitting to himself let alone to Kassie that hes in love with her. At Kassies artificial insemination party Wally gets very drunk and spies the sperm donors sample in the bathroom. Wally was way too drunk to know what he did that night and Kassie has moved away because she doesnt feel that New York City is a place to raise a child. Now 7 years later Kassie has moved back with her son Sebastian. While she is looking to get Roland (the sperm donor) more involved in their lives Wally cant help but notice the many striking similarities that he and Sebastian share.

Review

"The Switch" is like a romantic comedy except better because it gives you everything you want romance and comedy with a story and characters. They buck the trend to make the romantic elements absurd and instead shower us with comedy and very little sap.

Jennifer Aniston is just a cute girl that the audience can accept as a character but Jason Bateman is everything you want in a leading man. Very good looking but not in a typical way plays up neurotic with aplomb and is hilarious all the way through. We easily fall in love with him from beginning to end.

"The Switch" actually gives us a story one where our hero has to evolve and mature as he realizes and understands the value that Aniston and her son bring to his life. Again Jason Bateman is the kind of man that we have been waiting for in romantic comedies because he actually has the talent to portray all of that and do it with comedy. A romantic comedy that is cute funny romantic mature and where you actually welcome the story line what more could you ask for
