The Switch

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Theater
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0889573/

In an effort to boost readership and relevancy, I'm going to start reviewing movies before they hit theaters. So I went to a movie screening for this tonight, and after watching the trailers on TV, I came in with really low expectations. So the movie is about Jennifer Aniston's character getting old and wanting a baby, and Jason Bateman's her BFF who tells her not to do it. Anyway, she decides to do it, and I won't ruin the movie for you, but you can figure out why the movie is called "The Switch." Anyhow, the movie was a lot funnier than most intentional comedies. At first I thought Jennifer Aniston was too old and Jason Bateman was...I guess too old too... but they eventually grew on me throughout the movie. Of course the little kid stole the movie. And every time Jeff Goldblum or Juliette Lewis was on screen, you were guaranteed at least a chuckle. It's a great date movie; guys will find it humorous, and you won't feel ripped off if you paid full price at the theaters. I'd slap a "recommended" stamp on this movie if it weren't so cliche'd and you couldn't see the ending from a mile away.
