Review: 'The Change-Up' Misses Its Target

Last weekend, your choices of new movies at the box office came down to watching apes try to act human in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” and watching grown human men try to act like apes in “The Change-Up.” Actually, some of the behavior these guys wallow in would be an insult to apes, as “The Change-Up” traffics in some of the grossest, laziest, most self-indulgent bad behavior and horrid tastelessness of just about any mainstream film I’ve ever seen – and I’m no prude: “There’s Something About Mary” and “Animal House” are among my top five favorite movies.

The premise of “The Change-Up” alone seems like a copycat of the slew of body-switching comedies that flooded theaters in the late 1980s (“Big,” “Like Father Like Son,” “18 Again,” “Dream a Little Dream,” and “Vice Versa,” to name a few). And to add to the sense of laziness, it stars Jason Bateman in what’s starting to appear to be his Movie of the Month Club, playing an uptight corporate lawyer who can’t seem to get a promotion — virtually the same character he played just a month ago in “Horrible Bosses.”

Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds reverts to the crude shenanigans of his breakthrough film “Van Wilder” in playing a constantly stoned slacker whose idea of a big break is landing a role in a soft-core porn flick. One wishes immediately that both they and the filmmakers – who are talented in the R-rated comedy genre, as Jon Lucas and Scott Moore created the first “Hangover” and David Dobkin directed “Wedding Crashers” – had followed their own title and attempted to create a film that relied more on clever writing and reinventing the body-switching subgenre than just attempting to push the envelope until it’s torn wide open and shredded to pieces.

In the flick, Bateman plays Dave, an uptight and married corporate lawyer whose promotion to firm partner rests on his mastering a huge merger. Reynolds, meanwhile, is Mitch, who’s been his best friend since third grade even though his character would be more likely to flush Bateman’s head down a toilet than hang out with him in real life.

Both men, of course, wish that they had the life of the other. Then one night, while simultaneously urinating in a public fountain, they both say “I wish I had your life!” at the same time, and the body-switch is made. The results are disastrous for both characters, and they realize the only way they can change back is by urinating again in the same magic fountain, which has been suddenly uprooted by the city of Atlanta and lost in the shuffle of bureaucratic paperwork.
