![]() ![]() It’s said that every man has a “cancer list”-a list of all the women he would have sex with if his wife died of cancer. Mitch happily obliges, filling in the raunchy details, listing all the exotic sexual positions that he says Dave isn’t familiar with because he’s married. And the tattoo scene is structured to make moviegoers think they’re watching Sabrina use one.ĭave is fascinated by Mitch’s “romantic” life and asks him to tell all about it. ![]() We hear an intimate story about a woman’s vibrator. We see snippets of the porn Dave watches while he masturbates (his hand just out of the frame). ![]() Masturbation (methods and motivations) is mentioned frequently (including in front of children). She also bares her breasts for Dave (as Mitch) while trying to seduce him. Dave’s co-worker, Sabrina, shows off her legs while getting a tattoo near her genitals. Jamie reveals her breasts to the camera while getting ready for bed and while on the toilet. Mitch (as Dave) is seen nude from the front, clutching his genitals. And his lingering compliance pushes even more explicit sexual images onto the screen. But not so horrified that he doesn’t “play along” for a while. The baby can be seen kicking within her swollen abdomen, and he’s horrified. Later, a very pregnant woman strips down to a g-string and tries to have sex with Dave (still in Mitch’s body). Before the lengthy scene wraps, dialogue, images and sound effects have introduced intercourse, anal fingering and a ménage à trois. When Dave (as Mitch) shows up for a “lorno” film shoot (“light” porn, which is called a “growth industry”), we see him simulating sex acts with a topless actress. The majority of that noted material I will now attempt to summarize-because actually documenting it play by play would be unthinkable … and unreadable. In frantically trying to record The Change-Up’s extensive sexual content, my pen began to smoke within the first 20 minutes or so of this two-hour film. Not to mention the fact that he can goof off, get high and watch porn whenever he wants. Dave can take up with Mitch’s weekly harem and have guiltless sex with every nameless one of them. Mitch can have a family, a real career and, he thinks, the conquest of Dave’s sexy wife, Jamie. Suddenly their wildest-and most sexually perverted-dreams are possible. So let’s just cut to the chase-which is exactly what the film does-and register the obvious: They switch lives. Married, hardworking pillar of the community Dave, however, has three adorable kids, a beautiful wife (whom he never sees because he’s always working) and a successful law career that he’s strived for all his life.īut human beings have been jealous for silly reasons since nearly the dawn of time, and, naturally, each man wants what the other has. As his father says, his accomplishments can be easily held on a single eyelash. Man-child Mitch’s world is full of daily recreational debauchery and as many joints as he can smoke between low-life acting auditions. No, Mitch and Dave have massively, poles apart, contradictory lifestyles. However, the language and raw sexual raunchiness is far removed from the family-friendly arena and therefore this one misses out on our Dove Seal.To say that lifelong friends Mitch and Dave lead merely different lives is to say that apples and fire hydrants are vaguely dissimilar items. But what is one of the film’s better moments is the scene in which a certain character has the opportunity to go to bed with another woman and realizes he can’t break his wedding vows to his wife. It was interesting, to some extent, to see the usually more reserved Jason Bateman play a character who lets loose after the switch is made. A few “eewwww” comments were heard in the theater. In addition, the biggest gross-out scene I have seen in a while takes place when a baby shares its load with a character in the film, in the worst possible location, his mouth. Unfortunately, there are a lot of foul-mouthed comments in this one, not to mention raunchiness. That film was genuinely funny but with a Disney-style of wholesome entertainment. When this movie is compared to “Freaky Friday” from several years ago, with a then still fairly innocent Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Leigh Curtis, you would be right. You might just think the theme of characters switching bodies has been done a lot and is a tired theme. ![]()
