Synopsis

Kassie is a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s objections, decides it’s time to have a baby – even if it means doing it herself… with a little help from a charming sperm donor. 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 gets acquainted with Kassie’s cute, though slightly neurotic, son.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
destinylives52 Manny's Movie Musings: Jennifer Aniston plays a single woman whose biological clock is ticking so loudly she decides to use a sperm donor to get pregnant. Jason Bateman, playing Aniston's best friend, is horrified at her choice, partly because he is subconsciously in love with her. During Aniston's get pregnant ceremony/party, Bateman gets wasted on alcohol and drugs and switches the donor's sperm for his own. Aniston moves away to have her baby; and 7 years later, she and her son move back into Bateman's city. The boy's personality is very much that of Bateman, who slowly realizes why that is; and now he has to decide if and when to tell Aniston of his discovery. My most memorable, movie moment of "The Switch" is the scene when Bateman decides to make the switch because of his drug/alcohol induced accident; and out of desperation, uses an image of Diane Sawyer to help him get his product out. "The Switch" is a typical, formulaic rom-com, meaning you'll get exactly what you think, including the ending. Still, it has its funny moments.Mannysmemorablemoviemoments
merelyaninnuendo The SwitchIt takes way too much time to get to the point and works more than enough on its characters but then this is no mere ordinary rom-com; its worth a try.
Lola A You can tell everything about this move just by watching the trailer. There is nothing surprising that wouldn't be expected from this movie. The story movies slow and at times I got bored and kept looking how long it still got. Not a very exciting movie I'd say. It has its good parts though. The acting to start with is great however, Wally Mars was a typical Jason Bateman character. Jennifer Aniston as always very convincing and adorable. I liked that the movie tried to send the message that life i not a race and that good things will happen to you when they are supposed to. What I also got was that good and comfortable relationships don't happen over night. Time is needed to nourish the connections and relationships you have with people.
bowmanblue Even though I'm a guy, I'm not immune to the odd romantic comedy - if it's got something decent to offer.Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman are both likable leads who have a decent pedigree of humorous films on their C.V.s, so I thought, 'Why not?' Yes, they're good and yes, they have reasonable charisma throughout the film and yes at the end of the ninety minutes you do feel reasonably warm and fuzzy inside. The only thing I found was that there weren't that many laughs along the way. There was a fair amount of romance and some character development, plus adequate dilemmas for them to strive through - I just thought that it would be funnier. Maybe it's my sense of humour, but I just didn't find it funny.That's not to say I didn't enjoy it. The best character bond was actually between Jason Bateman and the young boy 'Sebastian' - the element that made the film worth watching.A worthwhile way to kill an hour and a half - not so much a 'Rom Com' as a 'Rom Drama' in my opinion.
