Movie Review: #TheSwitch

DUDES!!!! I just got back from seeing The Switch, and omg omg omg ... I really liked it!

*cue 4sq checkin*

Synopsis: An unmarried 40-year-old woman turns to a turkey baster in order to become pregnant. Seven years later, she reunites with her best friend, who has been living with a secret: he replaced her preferred sperm sample with his own.

Yeah ... sounds like fun, doesn't it? I honestly went because I had a free ticket, and wanted to unplug from the interwebz for 2 hours ... I was shocked at how much I liked it.

It was marketed towards being this weird romantic comedy with Jennifer Aniston commanding her normally naggy lead, and it was the EXACT opposite; Jason Bateman commanded the screen and boy oh boy was he good!!!

I'm never one to want to give things away, but I can say this ... it was a realist's romantic comedy. Remove the Lifetime, Hallmark channel components, add in a neurotic hypochondriac and a kid that absolutely stole the show ... and oohhhhh loorrddyyyy you have a seriously unapologetically awesome flick. From the cinematography, to the music supervision the execution and general composition of the film was shockingly good - and yes, I hate to admit it ... that a nerdy little tear even escaped my eye at one poignant part.

It was touching without being molesty, sweet without being overly saturated, and fresher than Will Smith circa 1990.

Kudos, Jason Bateman ... KUDOS!!!!

The Switch opens in theaters this Friday!

PS. Juliette Lewis and Jennifer Aniston both totally made whoopie to Brad Pitt, was it a coincidence that the alleged sperm donor's bro bro looked EXACTLY like Senor Pitt? #JustSayin
