THE CHANG-UP Short Synopsis
Dave and Mitch (Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds) are best friends from childhood who have been living very different lifestyles - Dave as a high-paid lawyer with a wife and three kids, Mitch as a pot-smoking wannabe actor who sleeps with whatever woman he can get into bed.
One night, they're out drinking and they cross streams while pissing in a fountain; the next day, they find they've switched bodies and are forced to live the other one's life in order to find out if the grass is indeed greener on the other side.
A talented cast and a strong last act is ultimately what saves "The Change-Up" from being a dud, though you'll have to endure a lot of lazy gross-out humor before you get to a point where it can be appreciated.
For some, the low-brow stuff might ruin what could have been a witty look at how to balance the responsibility of being a grown-up with relaxing and having fun, something everyone over 20 can appreciate.
