A married father and a swinging single swap bodies after a wild night of drinking, and do their best not to throw each other's lives into complete chaos while scrambling to figure out a way to get back in their own skin. Dave (Jason Bateman) and Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) grew up together. They used to be inseparable, but these days they're lucky if they cross paths every few months. Dave is a successful lawyer and happily married father of three; Mitch is a single sexual dynamo locked in a perpetual state of arrested adolescence. And while Mitch admires Dave for having a gorgeous wife (Leslie Mann), happy kids, and a high-paying job, Dave envies his unhitched pal's freewheeling lifestyle and his ability to bed any woman who shoots him a seductive glance. Then one night, after having a few too many, Mitch and Dave voice their mutual admiration for one another, never once suspecting they might be about to find out how the other half lives. However, upon waking up the following morning, the two lifelong pals discover that they have somehow traded places. At first the thought of getting a momentary reprieve from their regular routines is an amusing novelty, but the longer it lasts, the more they just want their old lives back. Just when it seems that things can't get any more complicated, Dave's stunning legal associate Sabrina (Olivia Wilde) drops a bombshell, and Mitch gets a surprise visit from his estranged father (Alan Arkin). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This movie was terrible. It was disgusting and fowl. The language was awful and it was spoken every other word (literally). This movie had a great story line, but I believe the director and producer really messed it up. You are seeing the cleanest and funniest parts of the movie in the previews. Really a shame. I was really looking forward to watching it, but I could not even stand to finish it.

    Yes, it has foul language (have you listened to how the irresponsible younger set talk these days? - that's how Mitch is supposed to be, frozen in time), and the beginning 'slap-sick' gross moment was unnecessary but in general, this was better than I expected. That's due mostly to Jason Bateman and somewhat to Ryan Reynolds and a few surprises. No, it's not a great movie and maybe I thought it was ok because I went in with low expectations. I guess all I can say is I've seen worse and I watched the whole thing (and I've turned off many a film before when they were horrible).

    Yes   |   No

    Vulgar! What is so insulting about this movie is that a) someone wrote this awful male version of “Freaky Friday” and b) two great actors - Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds – agreed to these roles. Leave this DVD “on the shelf” and don’t bother!
