Okay, this movie had 'Hollywood Sassiness' written all over it. But it turned out to actually not be all that sassy. Sure, it was a predictable story and you knew the outcome of the ending from the very beginning. But the story unfolded in a very nice way and proved to be warm and heartfelt.
The story told in "The Switch" is pretty easy to follow, and it has some funny moments to it. Though I had initially expected more laughs from the movie. But regardless, the story turned out to be very nice and it quickly grew on you, and you fell in love with the characters.
The characters in the movie were very well portrayed and each brought their own unique touch to the movie. I was especially impressed with the performance put on by Jason Bateman, the lead actor playing Wally Mars. He was really cut out for this role, and you really bought into his performance. And the performance put on by Thomas Robinson, playing Sebastian, also blew me away. There is just something innocent and very charismatic about that boy, and he really helped carry the movie. Now, what puzzles me was the performance by Jeff Goldblum, playing Leonard, wow! Was he drunk during the shoots? It was almost unbearable to look at. And Juliette Lewis, well she brought her own unique touch to the movie, as she always does to whatever she is performing in. And as for Jennifer Aniston, well there wasn't anything outstanding in performance here, at least not in my opinion, and she seemed to be there in the second lead role based on her looks alone? To me, the story would have been the same, had they switched her out with another actress, because it was Jason Bateman and Thomas Robinson who carried this movie.
As I said earlier, I had expected this to be a comedy, so don't get your hopes up on rolling on the floor laughing. Sure, there are some funny moments. This is more of a romantic movie, one that will sit well with the lady audience. Though I, as a guy, actually found the movie to be quite enjoyable and entertaining.
This is, for me at least, the type of movie that actually can be watched more than once, because it was so beautifully put together. This movie is well suited for a romantic evening in with your significant other, and might be quite suitable for a Valentine's Day movie choice.
