The Switch


Rented this movie on Netflix about two weeks ago. It was one my wife picked out that we were going to be watching together but that I planned to multitask during.

In this movie Jennifer Anniston and Jason Bateman are long time friends. Having dated long ago they are now great friends and share all including commiserating about how awful dating is. Nothing original here thus far as When Harry Met Sally mined this territory years ago. Thoug if Jen also had a Big O scene it would be worth watching.

Anniston decides she wants a baby and cannot wait for a man. She gets some sperm who comes to her house to give her the sperm fresh...does this happen?.. and leaves it in a cup in the bathroom. While this is going on her girlfriends are throwing a party for her and Bateman's character realizing he is jealous and has feelings for the inseminated to be gets drunk. When in the bathroom he makes a switch of the contents of the cup.

The second half of the movie is better, highlighted by the little boy who plays the product of this switch. The truth comes to light, trouble ensues. Not a great movie, I am not even sure it was a good one. I did put down my book though and watch the second half pretty intently for whatever that is worth
