Full Plot Details

Growing up together, Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they've slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch's stress-free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true. Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave's worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies and proceed to freak out. Despite the freedom from their normal routines and habits, the guys soon discover that each other's lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed. Further complicating matters are Dave's sexy legal associate, Sabrina (Olivia Wilde) and Mitch's estranged father (Alan Arkin). With time not on their side, Mitch and Dave comically struggle to avoid completely destroying each other's lives before they can find a way to get their old ones back.

Movie Reviews

EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderThe perverse humor and outrageous scenarios made me laugh often enough to recommend the movie, but I'm disappointed that it didn't explore the potential in an R-rated body-swap comedy more carefully.
HitFix - 9/10 by Drew McWeenyIt's possible this sub-"Three's Company" level farce will hit you harder in the funny bone than it did me, but I think as a film, it's just sort of a grand mess, regardless of if it's funny or not.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekA particularly gruesome example of the sort of raunchy R-rated comedy that's proliferated in Hollywood...it's as though [the] scripters were determined to amp up the coarseness and vulgarity with each change of scene.
Deadspin - 9/10 by Will LeitchCynical, tone-deaf junk that has nothing to contribute to the world but smirks and a general dismissive attitude toward human connection and interaction.
Screen It! - 9/10 by Teddy DurginThe gross-out gags, potty humor, and raunchy dialogue piled up almost as if all who had a hand in making the movie had no faith in the characters or the actors playing them (Full Content Parental Review also available)
BrianOrndorf.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfThe Change-Up seems to find itself enchantingly mischievous, but brazen desperation chokes the life out of every screen element. It's a lousy, vacant, hostile creation.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Laura Clifford...the film strains for its R-rated comedy like a constipated fat man...
Radio Times - 8/10 by Stella PapamichaelThe body-swap comedy gets a mighty shake-up here, with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman cheerfully breaking all the boundaries of taste.
Slate - 8/10 by Dana StevensTo call The Change-Up misogynistic would be to shortchange the equal-opportunity disgust this anal-regressive film demonstrates toward men, babies, old people, and corporeal existence in general.
TheMovieReport.com - 8/10 by Michael DequinaJason Bateman's famously quirky comic energy cuts loose in an unusually and hilariously fresh way.
