Film: The Switch (2010)




Thank goodness, a rom-com that deviates off the track beaten by the thousand or so other films with the same story. This film oozes sweetness in the form of Thomas Robinson who is brilliant as the neurotic son of Jennifer Aniston's Kassie, a 40 year old woman who has decided to have a child via a sperm donor. Here's where the 'switch' is involved. Kassie best friend Wally makes the drucken decision of switching the sperm of her desired donor with his own. Let the fun begin!
With a comedy cast including the ironic Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis as Kassie's ditsy friends the laughs in this film are subtley understated.
Jennifer Aniston looks fantastic for her age and is perfect in this role of a strong female lead. She and Jason Bateman have a great dialogue and rapport. Their performances are engrossing and have a lot of depth.
If you are tired of the same old rom-com, this film despite retaining the rom-com trend is definately one to watch.
