The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFeb 13, 2014
Like a fresh ripple in the near-stagnant high school movie pool, Chris Nelson’s Date and Switch balances formula with winning performers, genuine humor and a generosity of spirit that this genre too often lacks. Read full review

The film's more heartfelt moments are what ultimately work best. Read full review

Date and Switch isn't a gay movie. It's a zippy, happy, buddy flick. Read full review

Slant MagazineAbbey BenderFeb 10, 2014

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFeb 17, 2014
Nelson's amiable comedy occasionally gets fixated on things that don't serve its overall purpose and is too self-conscious to really shine. But it's a more competent, accessible film than its stealthy theatrical release suggests. Read full review

The A.V. ClubErik AdamsFeb 12, 2014
In effect, it feels a lot like the characters at its center — not terrible, just incomplete. A comic take on this premise and these themes feels like a necessity in 2014. Unfortunately, Date And Switch isn’t the movie this day and age needs. Read full review

Pseudo-sensitive bro-dude rom-com Date and Switch comes out today, and it already feels dated. Read full review
