I saw the movie in the theatre first. I have watched the DVD too many times to count. I never tire of the wonderful expressive face on Jason Bateman. That is what I call acting. Hope he will be cast in more movies like The Switch.
Comedy? I don't think you will find any laughs in this one. The little boy was the only one who delivered any value for this flick.
I was unexpectly pleased with this movie. Not usually a fan of rom-com-chick flicks, but this one was clever, and well written, and the acting was top rate (Maybe Goldblum's character was a little over done). The little boy is adorable. As for the "crude humor" factor, the movie artfully tap danced around the edges of
Very funny ********** movie!

The Switch, to its credit, really is about a boy, who with the help of a sensitive, sad-eyed kid, stands a chance of becoming a man. Full Review

Aniston and Bateman keep things both light and dark when they should, and Robinson's Sebastian steals everyone's heart. Full Review

By turns rowdy and rueful, The Switch is a comedy with serious ramifications, not least of which is the question, what makes a family? Full Review

This is a romantic comedy, not a sci-fi adventure tale. But the actions, choices and general behavior of the characters are oddly removed from what goes in the real world. Full Review
