When one gets ready to watch a film like 'The Switch', the viewer should go in with limited expectations. If the person goes in with gargantuan expectations, he/she are sure to be left disappointed.
Based on the short story Baster by Jeffrey Eugenides, Josh Gordon and Will Speck's 'The Switch' is a decent film, about 2 best-friends, who later become a couple. In a running time over a 100-minutes, this comedy offers some tendering moments and likable performances from it's lead cast.
An interesting premise is mostly well-handled, and even the hackneyed climax doesn't really leave you complaining. Josh Gordon and Will Speck's direction is just right. Jess Hall's Cinematography is decent, while the Editing is just about okay.
Performance-Wise: Jason Bateman is extremely likable in the lead role. Jennifer Aniston is natural. Thomas Robinson is wonderful. Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis leave a mark, as well.
On the whole, 'The Switch' is an ideal lazy Sunday afternoon watch.
