I looooove me some Jason Bateman. I know he is not very versatile but he tickles my funny bone and he just seems like a nice guy ya know? He is definitely this in "The Switch", but is also a little neurotic. It is definitely one of Jen's better movies to date. Maybe the best since "Rumor Has It"- I realize I may be alone in characterizing that as good, but I liked it. Anyways, it wasn't a lot of "comedy". I liked the story, I liked the people in it, but if you're in the mood for an lol kind of night, this is probably not your best choice for netflix, redbox, or whatever new method of instant movie gratification you may be using. The kid in the movie named Sebastian (can you guess what kind of kid he was a) playful b) pretentious?) is hilarious. The kind of kid you want to hug because he is so far off from the other kids and you know will get his a$$ kicked on a regular basis. Jeff Goldblum offers quite a bit of hilarity as well when he is present, but for being a comedy it has a pretty serious storyline. (Guy steals best friend's sperm donor's ... donation, supplements it with his own. She has the kid... yada yada yada.) Overall, I would definitely recommend it because it's lightly serious and I love Jason Bateman.
