The Change Up

“What the f*ck? I’m Dave!”

If you were to change something in your life, what would it be? Would you even dare change anything? Be careful of what you wish for, you might just get it.

The Change Up, an American comedy directed by David Dobkin starring Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern) and Jason Bateman (Horrible Bosses). The story is about a married father, Dave Lockwood that accidentally switched to his bachelor / hunk stud best friend, Mitch Planko and their complex difficulties after. The switch was made when the peed on a magical fountain not knowing that their wish of switching lives would come true. The next morning when they woke up, they had each other’s life exchanged.

“Having children is like living with mini heroin addicts. They're laughing one minute, crying the next, and then they're trying to kill themselves in the bathtub for no reason.”, because kids are like little monster. There was a funny scene where Dave’s baby squirted poop on his mouth and my stomach was rumbling after.

One thing I like about this movie is its simplicity. No super powers. No special effects. Just the juicy story. You get to enjoy the characters lives without being distracted on the movie magic. Not to mention the witty scenes and wonderful lines the actors brought through. Watch it now and try something new for a change up!
