Having had developed a body-swap film for some time it’s a genre I always enjoy - and when you throw a cast like this at it eventually I’ll get around to it! This time we’ve got Ryan Reynolds a slacker swapping with family man Jason Bateman. I’ll be honest - I had a hard time buying into Reynolds’ character actually coveting his buddies life - although he does say he was just trying to be nice. That said, I’ll give a little leeway for the set-up, especially since the rest of the film is so enjoyable. It’s your pretty typical broad comedy fair, but done pretty well - funny bits, and some nice little performances, especially by Leslie Mann who, despite her CGI nudity, turns in a really sweet performance here.
You know what kind of film you’re walking into with this one and it absolutely delivers.
