The Switch

Jennifer Aniston stars alongside Jason Bateman in this offbeat comedy as Kassie, a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite her neurotic best friend Wally's (Bateman) objections, decides it's time to have a baby. Even if it means doing it by herself... with a little help from a charming sperm donor (Patrick Wilson). But, unbeknownst to her, Kassie's plans go awry because of a last-minute switch that isn't discovered until seven years later when Wally finally gets acquainted with Kassie's cute--though slightly neurotic--son.


This is one of those movies that I was confused about. I enjoyed it - mostly because of Jason Bateman and the kid - but the movie really is one of those just kind of there movies. Jennifer Aniston continues to play Rachel from Friends. Juliette Lewis is beyond annoying as the best friend. Jeff Goldblum is annoying and useless. But there was something about Jason Bateman and the kid and their connection that made me care where it was going even though you pretty much know from the trailer how its going to go.


I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. Its not a must see by any means but there are much worse things out there.
