Leave your thoughts about Date and Switch.
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisLike a fresh ripple in the near-stagnant high school movie pool, Chris Nelson’s Date and Switch balances formula with winning performers, genuine humor and a generosity of spirit that this genre too often lacks. |
| Movie ChambersPaul Chambers"Date and Switch" should have had something new to say about high school friendships. It doesn't. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonDate and Switch isn't a gay movie. It's a zippy, happy, buddy flick. |
| Slant MagazineAbbey BenderThe film's forced quirkiness and repeated displays of bro-ism in action hinder the potential for a more subtle approach to the potentially challenging issue the story depicts. |
| AV ClubErik AdamsIn effect, it feels a lot like the characters at its center — not terrible, just incomplete. A comic take on this premise and these themes feels like a necessity in 2014. Unfortunately, Date And Switch isn’t the movie this day and age needs. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe film's more heartfelt moments are what ultimately work best. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIn place of authentic emotion and searing personal communication, there's cliche and passivity, plasticizing the kindly nature of the picture to a point where all the tension begins to resemble a bad sitcom. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeNelson's amiable comedy occasionally gets fixated on things that don't serve its overall purpose and is too self-conscious to really shine. But it's a more competent, accessible film than its stealthy theatrical release suggests. |
| The DissolveAndrew LapinDate And Switch is a plucky step in the right direction for diversity in teen comedies, but it lacks the extra oomph to stand on its own merits. |
| Paste MagazineAddie MorfootLame jokes (even when delivered by comedic vets like Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman) mixed with painfully paced sequences make this potential-filled rom-com fall flat. |
