The Change-Up



In this new take on body-switching comedies, David Dobkin, director of Wedding Crashers, and writers of The Hangover, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, present a comical and revealing look into the world of men.

Dave (Jason Bateman) is a successful lawyer, married to his childhood sweetheart Jamie (Leslie Mann), has three kids, and lives a conservative suburban lifestyle. 


His polar opposite, friend since junior high, Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) is single, barely employed and chasing women like he is still in college. One night, as they stand in front of the Greek goddess Metis' fountain, they argue how they wish they could be in the other's shoes only to find the following morning that the shape-shifting goddess of wisdom has granted their wish.



The best friends are forced to live each other's lives and, while at the law firm, Mitch meets Dave's mysterious sexy associate Sabrina (Olivia Wilde).

Bateman and Reynolds well portray each other's character in a familiar plot reformatted to include raunchy, outrageous, R rated humor, geared for young adult audiences.
