Summary - Great 4.0

Alright… this is not cinematic art. LOL. I mean, I was very skeptical going into this movie, because it looked like nothing more than a cheap rip off of Disney’s Freaky Friday.

Well, in simplest terms, that’s what this film is. It is the MALE, ADULT version of Freaky Friday… two guys piss in a fountain and switch lives… but… IT’S FUNNY!

The movie is friggin hilarious. The humor is very advanced… it’s based off of the relationships between the characters, and recognizing that both characters are essentially out of their element and forced to try to live each others’ lives. They play this concept up to the max, and it makes for great situational comedy.

I laughed the whole movie. It’s seriously very funny, and I would recommend it if you’re looking for a laugh.

Acting - Really Great 4.5

Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds? Great combo! Very funny give-and-take between the gentemen.

They were good too… I mean these guys were playing a character within a character… very hard to do. They sold it though!

Film - Very Good 3.5

It was well done. The ending was a tad predictable… and I hate the happy sappy ending… but I mainly liked this movie because it was funny.

Edge - Sordid 2.9

It wasn’t a nice movie! Lol but that’s what made it funny. A lot of the rude improper things that went down accounted for a majority of the comedy.

Don’t watch this one with Mom!

One scene where they're shooting a "Light porno"... naked woman - audience doesn't see much, it's mostly suggested. Although there is mention of a thumb being inserted somewhere it probably shouldn't have been ;) A girl get's tattooed between the legs... Nothing too crazy. But not for the kids. Not ridiculous... appropriate for a Rated- R adult comedy. The thumb thing was a little much... and the scene where Leslie Mann has "the runs" on the toilet... The pregnant Tatianna was... interesting... also the language is reflective of that of an R-rated flick.

Reality - Fantasy 5.0

I’ll be right back… I’m gonna go piss in a fountain with my best friend and see if we switch lives, so I can accurately comment on this section.

This is just a fun, “ha-ha” movie to watch on a Friday night and bring a few laughs.
