The Switch is precisely what it looks like and is about the common result to be expected from a film coming from Mandate Pictures. They specialize in films that are a little different from the rest that have a slightly indie feel with a big budget. This is no different but it isn't on the same par as Juno or Whip It. Rather it is on the same level as Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, one of lesser quality works to come from them. But even though it is mediocre it is still enjoyable. What could have been a horrible failure turned out to be decent entertainment. The biggest problem with the film really is the script. The biggest save for the film was the little boy and how well Jason Bateman worked along side him. Unfortunately Jennifer Aniston just really isn't that enjoyable in this film. They could have picked someone better to fill her shoes. But all in all I enjoyed the film in it's own right. Just don't expect too much from it.
