I don't like Jennifer Aniston, but she was decent in this movie, and Jason Bateman, was (like always) funny, and is a great romantic comedy. It wasn't as good as I expected, but the 53 metascore? I don't get it. I believe somewhere in the early 60s would be more appropriate. Jeff Goldblum was okay, and I wasn't really feeling the sarcasm like I did when Juliette Lewis was in Whip It, but honestly, it feels like everyone is sort of missing a puzzle piece from other movies that they didn't show in this movie. However, Patrick Wilson was the best actor, where you really wanted to punch him in the face, which is what they want you to expect. Predictable and cheesy, yes, but The Switch is a good romantic comedy that is smart, funny, and at times touhing. Go see The Switch.… Expand

The Switch had a potential premise, but fails to produce any laughs or predictability.

The Switch is surprisingly smart and funny and generates great chemistry between Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman but the movie fails due to it ending up at the heart of it being completely self centered. I give this film 46%.

One of Jen Aniston's heartier flicks of recent years--a modern and interesting subject. Bateman and Aniston are not only a fun pair, but you'll root for them.

It is a pleasant and nice romantic comedy that maybe doesn't offer anything new but incorporates humor at exactly the right moments that make the film enjoyable

This movie is hardly that interesting to watch. I saw the movie, but I could really care less about it. It certainly wasn't miserable to watch, but i hardly believe this passes as a comedy.

Under the 'original' sperm donor plot, The Switch is just a basic romantic comedy. Cliché, predictable, boring at times and not particularly funny. At least, the acting wasn't that bad and Jeff Goldblum was awesome.

The Switch

It 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.
