75This picture belongs to Jason Bateman, who, after years of playing the second or third banana (and plenty of times being the best thing in a given film), finally gets to show off his considerable gifts as the co-lead in a mainstream comedy.
-
Saddled with the responsibility of carrying the film, Bateman acquits himself admirably by playing it straight, developing a genuinely convincing and affecting chemistry with Robinson and taking his character's repression seriously.
-
50Ranks somewhere between the barely watchable "The Back-Up Plan" and the good but wildly overrated "The Kids Are All Right."
-
50It's subpar sitcom.

"The Switch" has its fun and joy thanks to the weird chem of Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston....but its all too obvious.

-
4The Switch had a potential premise, but fails to produce any laughs or predictability.
