    Best 'couple' movie I have seen in a loooong time....

    ....no silly and unbelievable rescues from bombs and guns,no uncomfortable or gratuitous sex/nudity and no syrupy perfect people. Have to admit I am a huge Bateman fan,but I would say if the movie was bad. It is honest in the realities of women dealing with being single and childless as they get older. It is honest about the things that we don't see in life,in getting sidetracked by storybook ideals. It is predictable,but that's not a complaint.Not one person going in didn't know who was going to be with whom. The ride along the way is endearing and fun to watch. I have never thought Aniston did as good a job in any movie since The Good Girl,but in The Switch,you see real personal struggles..even to the last minute in some of her decisions. I really like it.Love must go movies like Inception this summer,but just a story with no gimmicks,just people and real human emotions was a nice break. Goldblum did a notable supporting job,and the child actor was perfect.

    Cute

    Gotta say I was expecting the same old romantic comedy! I was pleasantly surprised with the twist and turns this clever script took. Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman made a GREAT couple! I say grab the girls or even your guy and see this movie!

    THE SWITCH-Switch my tickets for another movie!

    We were looking forward to this movie. We like both actors and especially Jennifer Anniston. This movie moved so slow. Without spoiling the end, it was just frustrating! I wish I would have used my money for another movie!
