Body swap comedies are nothing new and to try and make it feels so is a hard task, but although the concept is nothing new, how the film is pulled off feels fresh. Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman are a brilliant double act, Batman being a family guy and Reynolds the layed about womanizer, so to have the roles swap is excellent ground to work on for some belly laughs. Thankfully the film does not miss any oppatunity to do so. There are so many laugh out loud moments in this film that also has some great dialog that's just as funny as the situations. The bonus of the unrated cruder cut is a must watch. To be honest I had read the mixed reviews that the film got on cinema release and was not expecting much, but I'm pleased the say The Change Up is one of the funniest well acted comedies in ages.
