Full Plot Details

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 doesn't like this idea, but he isn't capable of admitting to himself, let alone to Kassie, that he's in love with her. At Kassie's artificial insemination party, Wally gets very drunk and spies the sperm donor's sample in the bathroom. Wally was way too drunk to know what he did that night, and Kassie has moved away because she doesn't 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 can't help but notice the many striking similarities that he and Sebastian share.

Movie Reviews

Boston Herald - 9/10 by James VerniereThe best Jennifer Aniston film opening this month (Is it me, or has she been in a half-dozen films in the past two years?), "The Switch" is mighty predictable. But sometimes rank predictability, like greed, can be a good thing.
Illinois Times - 9/10 by Charles KoplinskiAt its best, The Switch plays against expectations.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Carrie RickeyBy turns rowdy and rueful, The Switch is a comedy with serious ramifications, not least of which is the question, what makes a family?
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 8/10 by John BeifussEvolves from an uneasy romantic comedy into a surprisingly tender and generous love story about fathers and sons as well as men and women...
Palo Alto Weekly - 8/10 by Tyler HanleyDespite a relatively predictable plot and inconsistent pacing, The Switch scores thanks to a good balance of humor and heart.
I.E. Weekly - 8/10 by Amy NicholsonSorry tabloid readers. At no time does Jennifer 'Womb Watch' Aniston growl, "Take that, Brad."
Film School Rejects - 8/10 by Robert LevinBateman turns the standard leading male archetype on its head.
Salt Lake Tribune - 8/10 by Sean P. MeansDirectors Josh Gordon and Will Speck find some heart and wit in the screenplay, and they draw a strong performance from Bateman, who?s funny and sympathetic as the lovelorn Wally.
Birmingham Post - 8/10 by Roz LawsThere are some good lines, especially from the supporting cast including Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis, and enough moving and witty touches, despite the contrived and predictable plot.
Daily Mirror (UK) - 8/10 by David EdwardsJennifer Aniston finally hits paydirt with a cleverly written rom-com about a broody single woman who turns to the turkey baster.
