The Change Up: Does The "Switch" Really Matter?
Up
That's Freaky Friday on the row. The concept is getting more cliche. Not bad. You wouldn't miss the concept because it's all over in the mainstream in the past years. Not a troll for a movie like this one.
It's not tiring to get in hook in The Change Up. Pretty not good for kids though.
This how the story goes. A successful married guy once wished he could do all the things he never did in his single life. Then, there's another guy, the single one who enjoys his freedom as man. That's not however he could really proud of. Although they have their worlds apart. It came to the point where they envied each other's life. The next thing they knew, well, they have their life wanted, in "switch" way. It's no surprise though.
Act to be someone else's body is one of the most difficult things to maintain throughout the line. It had to discover every inch of each other's portrayed personality. The first short encounter with original "oneself" were not enough to establish their true identity. Perhaps, we can imagine them pretending to be someone else. Jason Bateman (Dave) was good at this part. But it's hard to connect it to Ryan Reynold's character (Mitch). It seems more of blatant and mediocre portrayal.
In funny and awkward moments, there's a bit comparisons between Dave (Jason Blateman) and Cal (Steve Carell) of Crazy, Stupid, Love. The latter is better so far. However, I was laughing the whole time with The Change Up. Perhaps, it's about randomness, not in character itself.
Speaking of comparisons, the theme of the Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Change Up focused in the mid life idiosyncrasies, yet it came up with different approach. The "switch" is cliche as it really is. However, this could be more appreciated when the time shows the real purpose behind.
