It has more potentiel than what we got .
The actors weren't bad , but the plot wasn't developped very well and the script was awful

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerIf not for Bateman and supporting actors Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis, THE SWITCH would have been The One to Skip. Not because it's lousy, which it isn't, or because it's boring, which it's not. In fact, the premise has loads of potential, given how many women these days are opting to go parenthood alone. The problem with The Switch is that it's uninspired. Without Bateman to elevate many moments from corny to amusing, it would be formulaic at best and insufferable at worst.Luckily for the audience, he's there with his natural delivery and impeccable timing, making most of the set-ups -- even the absurd ones -- believable. And humorous. When he decides to make that pivotal switch, we buy it. As for Aniston -- who is, after all, the film's star -- it has long been established that she's charming and funny. And she still is. But the charm is wearing thin, and the funny feels phoned in. We've seen her as this character many times now, ostensibly independent but needing rescuing, needing someone to love her to be once again complete.Pros: Interesting story, Jason Bateman's performance, and some good humorCons: Some weak story moments, some corny heartfelt scenes, and some uninspired acting from Aniston

Last night i watched this movie on Netflix. I don't mind an occasional romantic comedy to get some cheap laughs. I saw one with Jennifer Aniston from the 2000s, I figured why not, at least I can look at Jennifer Aniston's middle aged fine wine looking ass for an hour 45. So this movie was horrendous. The lead across from Jennifer Anniston (who will be abbreviated as Ja) was some guy who look liked a loser version of Hugh Grant without the cool British accent. We will call him Hughser, GET IT LIKE LOSER, for now. Hughser was Ja's friend and Ja wanted to get pregnant. I guess being a single mom is cool. Ja wanted to pick a donor and then squirt it in her cooch with a turkey baster. Ja picked this handsome nice guy (no romo) but hughser didn't like it because he was secretly in love with Ja. At the insemination party (yes this happened) complete with litlte sperm decorations hughser got drunk and went to the bathroom. He found the guy's nut in a cup and he started playing with it and accidentally spilled it in the sink. In a drunk panic, hughser whips that hog out and leaves his own "donation" in a cup. Thankfully they didn't show the hughser chokin the lizard, I woulda thrown up. Ja turkey bastes his gravy into that cooter and moves away. 7 years later, SHE MOVESBACK! and the kid is with her. The kid is such a damn loser that Ja cant relate to it. Hughser is stil single (shockingly). Hughser loves the kid and they relate to each other because they are both friggin losers. The handsome nice guy comes in for the kill and tries to marry Ja. At the proposal, Hughster admits to loving Ja and that he father Ja's weirdo kid, and Ja says GTFO YOU LOSER. The loser kid misses the loser dad and Ja ends up going back to hughser and they get married.

Cute movie, cute kid, fun Bateman and hilarious Lewis/Goldblum.....BUT! Yes, we all know the boring addition to the team: Aniston. Her. Again. Why oh why did they cast her? She brings no soul to her character, literally CAN'T pull the mother act. She put me off 20 minutes after I started watching it.
