Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

adonis98-743-186503 Seven years after the fact, a man comes to the realization that he was the sperm donor for his best friend's boy. Jason Bateman gives an excellent and sweet perfomance as a man who finds himself inside an insane situation plus Jennifer Aniston and the rest of the cast do a great job as well and the chemistry between Bateman's character and the little boy who portrays Sebastian was very sweet and real. The Switch has some sweet dramatic moments, nice laughs and people who will see it with an open mind will be suprised. (A+)

WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerIf not for Bateman and supporting actors Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis, THE SWITCH would have been The One to Skip. Not because it's lousy, which it isn't, or because it's boring, which it's not. In fact, the premise has loads of potential, given how many women these days are opting to go parenthood alone. The problem with The Switch is that it's uninspired. Without Bateman to elevate many moments from corny to amusing, it would be formulaic at best and insufferable at worst.Luckily for the audience, he's there with his natural delivery and impeccable timing, making most of the set-ups -- even the absurd ones -- believable. And humorous. When he decides to make that pivotal switch, we buy it. As for Aniston -- who is, after all, the film's star -- it has long been established that she's charming and funny. And she still is. But the charm is wearing thin, and the funny feels phoned in. We've seen her as this character many times now, ostensibly independent but needing rescuing, needing someone to love her to be once again complete.Pros: Interesting story, Jason Bateman's performance, and some good humorCons: Some weak story moments, some corny heartfelt scenes, and some uninspired acting from Aniston

Davis P The Switch, starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman is somewhat different than what I expected to see. I expected this laugh out loud comedy, but being perfectly honest, it is a drama. It starts out a bit slow to be honest, but it does kinda start to speed up once the insemination happens, wow never thought I'd say that in a film review lol. Jennifer Aniston is lovely and charming as ever, no shock there. Jason Bateman did kinda get on my nerves in the beginning, just his pessimistic and borderline jerkish attitude really turned me off. Years later, when this son Aniston has had from the insemination is about 7, they move back to New York City and that's when our movie really starts to take off, we'll sort of anyway. This film really isn't too concerned in being fast paced, it's kinda slow, and the slower pace works at certain times, but then doesn't at others. And Patrick Wilson gave a good performance, I thought he achieved what he was going for with his character. Juliette Lewis is pretty good as well, she isn't present a whole whole lot in the movie, but she carries her scenes well with her fun energy. I enjoyed some of the movies sweet warm hearted moments, but overall, I have seen better, and there were too many instances in which I was just plain bored, so The Switch will be receiving a 6/10 from me.

Michael O'Keefe Romantic comedy or just a Jennifer Aniston vehicle? You choose. Kassie(Aniston)is approaching middle age and hears that old clock ticking...she wants a baby. Best friend Wally(Jason Bateman)is fun, but hopelessly neurotic and is put in Kassie's 'not baby daddy' material list. Artificial insemination is chosen and Kassie decides to throw a big party to celebrate her decision. Wally pines for the love of his life and as the drunk pessimist spies the chosen sperm donor's sample in the bathroom...there is some manipulation with the sample vial.As the story progresses, Kassie needs to get out of New York City for it is just not the proper place to raise her child. After 7 years, Kassie returns with young son Sebastian(Thomas Robinson)in tow and desperately wants her sperm donor choice, Roland(Patrick Wilson), to bond with the lad. All the while, the ever narcssistic Wally can't help believing the boy has all his mannerisms.Not exactly funny, nor is the acting outstanding; but the movie has its charm. Personally, I was expecting more. Also sharing the screen: Juliette Lewis, Jeff Goldblum, Scott Elrod and Kelli Barrett.
