The Switch

Seven years later,he meets Kassie and her son,Sebastian. Wally forms a bond with the precocious,neurotic Sebastian. But Roland too is around. By now the audience wonders when the truth will be out.

In a year of comedies dealing with artificial insemination,The Switch certainly takes the least plausible angle on the subject. Despite that,it turns itself into a friendly,off-beat romantic comedy. Bright spots lie in the performances. This sentimental comedy has its worth cut out by a pair of well-tuned actors Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman,who ensure that their comedy blossoms on screen. Equally,Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis add sparkle in the roles of the best friends. Thomas Robinson is equally satisfying to watch.

The directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck,keep the film at a pace,not pondering even at awkward,messy moments. This is what also contributes to making The Switch a likeable film.

The Switch may not be the first off the mark,but is certainly more rounded and finishes well.

RATING

One star for performances. One for direction and scripting. One for production and cinematography.
