The Switch starring Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum & Juliettte Lewis.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wally (Jason Bateman<\/a>) doesn\u2019t have much in his life apart from his career, and his best friend Kassie (Jennifer Aniston<\/a>). He is pretty hopeless in the romance department, but he doesn\u2019t really get depressed over his life until Kassie drops a bombshell on him: She wants a baby now and she is determined that the father will be someone she won\u2019t have to deal with, despite Wally\u2019s oppositions.<\/p>\n

Wally can\u2019t change her mind, and at a drunken moment, he \u201closes\u201d the cute donor Roland (Patrick Wilson<\/a>)\u2019s sperm. So he replaces it with his own\u2026And he doesn\u2019t remember this the next day.<\/p>\n

He gets another bombshell when Kassie announces that she is pregnant, and she is moving to another state to be with her parents.<\/p>\n

7 years later, Kassie moves back to New York with her 7 year old son Sebastian (Thomas Robinson), and she can\u2019t wait for Wally and her kid to bond. Wally is at first intimated with extremely strange and neurotic boy, but then he realizes that they have a lot in common and they\u2019ve started to get along together. Unfortunately for him and Wally, Roland is back in the picture and ready to court Kassie, and hang out with who he believes to be his son\u2026<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t help matters that Wally has remembered what he might have done all those years ago, and that Kassie might be the one. Now how do you give your best friend two earth-shattering news? And not lose her, and your kid, in the process?<\/p>\n

The Switch is a fun, albeit slow at times, drama\/comedy. It is not a romantic comedy in the traditional sense. Sure, the ending is blindingly obvious even from the trailer. But it is not the crazy comedy it was advertised to be, or the romantic comedy with the focus on Jennifer Aniston.<\/p>\n

It is more about Wally, and then Wally and Sebastian. It\u2019s Wally\u2019s emotional and hilarious journey as he realizes a lot of things about life, being a parent, being a friend and well\u2026the romantic guy who\u2019d just have to speak up with the worst timing in the world.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Aniston <\/a>haters can relax as Jason Bateman is the focus of the film. I really like Aniston, but this is a Bateman flick. His on-screen relationship with Thomas Robinson is funny, touching, awkward and cute all at the same time. Sure, Bateman makes us laugh and grin, but most of the time he makes us feel emotional. Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis hang around for comedic relief, as Aniston serves as the female romantic lead.<\/p>\n

No, it is not that funny, and it is not even very romantic. But it is very sweet, sometimes quirky and enjoyable.<\/p>\n
