Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman star in this comedy about two best friends who, after a drunken night out, awake to find themselves trapped in the body of the other. From the director of The Wedding Crashers.
Best buds since they were kids, Dave (Bateman) is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch (Reynolds) has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie, kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch’s stress free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true.
Following the body-switch, further complicating things are Dave’s sexy legal associate, Sabrina (Olivia Wilde), and Mitch’s estranged father. With time not on their side, Mitch and Dave struggle to avoid completely destroying each other’s lives before they can find a way to get their old ones back.

"If Freaky Friday had an impudent, foul-mouthed little brother, it would be The Change-Up, an often needlessly crass, bromance-oriented spin on the body-swap comedy."

Variety
Variety"There are some gross but comically effective reveals, and the movie's fish-out-of-water scenes are horrible and funny at the same time."
—
Time Magazine
Time Magazine"The premise at least sets up a farce that surpasses The Hangover in gleeful crudeness and profanity."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Some comedies have the knack for affrontery and shock value; The Change-Up, written by The Hangover team of Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, merely has the will to offend."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"What entertainment the film offers is that of the familiar and inevitable."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Despite the promise of the title, this a fairly stale offering, plodding through the beats of a well-worn subgenre but failing to add much more than a foul mouth."
—
Empire Magazine
Empire Magazine"David Dobkin’s film has the faults of raucous recent scatological comedies like Bad Teacher, Horrible Bosses, and The Hangover Part II with none of their redeeming facets."
