Review of The Switch

The Switch (I) (2010)
7/10
Comedy with heart.
11 April 2014
When I first saw the movie poster and trailer of this movie back in 2010, I thought..."Oh great, another Anniston movie... Going to be some heart warming flick with dumb jokes..." Then a few nights ago I was browsing around and saw this again, decided to watch it because Bateman is good actor. Needless to say, this movie was much better than expected!

I have always failed to see comedy in movies that show dumb things, aka Adam Sandler movies, etc. So seeing this film and the humor it included was great, though if you are expecting to laugh your ass off in this film, you won't, but its got light humor to make you smile meanwhile you start to enjoy the characters. Bateman was great, the kid was great, the story was not really focused on Anniston but she played her role well. Also this movie was not a hardcore chick flick, where everything was over the top romantic, rather you get to feel those emotions through the characters instead of them overstating everything. It displayed what men and women go through at that age of their lives (mid 30s to late 30s), and I feel they did a great job with it.

If you are looking for a film that will make you smile while touching your heart, I would definitely recommend this film.
