The change up how does it end

Mitch isn't a role model at all except for the fact that he can somehow remember details about Dave's life that even his best friend can't recall. When Mitch is stuck in Dave's body, the twins end up wielding a knife, almost sticking their hand in a blender, etc. Mitch also encourages Dave's young daughter to "solve all your problems through violence," so she hits her ballet bully. Pregnant Tatiana gets very angry at Mitch and pushes him on his back and threatens him.

The guys have to run away from mall security when they pee in a public fountain. Nudity in several scenes, including a graphic soft-porn movie shoot and a sexual proposition from a woman in late-term pregnancy viewers see her nearly full frontal, and the baby visibly moves her third-trimester belly. Dave masturbates while in Mitch's body, and both men seem fascinated with the quirks of each other's bodies Dave has an extra testicle. While in Dave's body, Mitch sees his wife nursing her baby and, later, undressing and then sitting on the toilet while wearing an open robe that shows her breasts.

Another woman strips down to her thong and bra and climbs on top of Mitch, but they don't have sex. Candid, potentially vulgar conversations about sex, adultery, sexual positions they all have humorous names , and experience. The first word Dave utters is "f--k," and that sets the tone of the movie. There's not a sentence of dialogue that doesn't include a curse word; even conversations with children include questionable language. In addition to the countless F-bombs, there's "s--t," "a--hole," "py," "bitch," "d--k," "whore," "t-ts," "balls," "damn," "hell," "goddamn," and more.

Product placements aren't distracting, but the guys spend a good deal of time in Dave's Range Rover and Mitch's Fiero. Mitch is an avowed pot-head, so bongs, joints, and other marijuana paraphernalia are shown regularly. Mitch even smokes a joint while driving.

The guys also get drunk more than once -- doing shots -- and there's drinking during a few dinner party and date scenes. Parents need to know that this raunchy body-swapping comedy is more like The Hangover than Freaky Friday. From the opening F-bomb to the end credits, the movie is chock full of language "f--k" is said in nearly every scene , sexuality nudity includes breasts, a soft porn movie set, and a fully naked, very pregnant woman , and crass toilet humor.

Plus, the movie's themes are actually pretty mature, revolving around two best friends who couldn't be less like each other but secretly envy each other's life.

Because it stars two of the funniest actors in Hollywood Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds , parents should expect even young teens to be interested, but this movie is definitely a "hard-R" for a reason.

Dave Jason Bateman and Mitch Ryan Reynolds have been best friends since elementary school, but they couldn't be less alike -- Dave's the father of three and on the brink of becoming a partner at a powerful Atlanta law firm, while Mitch is content to smoke marijuana and juggle a calendar full of low-rent acting gigs and a variety of sexual partners.

After getting drunk together at a bar one night, the two men simultaneously pee in a public fountain together while saying "I wish I had your life. Until they can locate the fountain, Mitch has to be pretend to be a successful attorney and devoted father, and Dave has to be a slacker actor with a busy hook-up schedule.

Bateman and Reynolds are undeniably funny, and it's easy to see why this movie would have been easy for the filmmakers to pitch -- great cast, tried-and-true plot device, and tons of hard-R humor. But despite the actors' talent and some big laughs that parents, especially, will appreciate, there's a fine line between raunchy and tasteless, and the plot veers into cringe-worthy toilet humor one too many times to stay consistently amusing.

That would have been a welcome switch, as Reynolds has heart and Bateman has edge, which they clearly prove in the moments that they're "themselves" in the other's body. While there's a somewhat touching message about self-reflection and appreciating what you have, the story gets bogged down in the formulaic gross-out humor.

Reynolds' Mitch is too pathetically one-dimensional to even believe, and it's hard to feel sorry for Dave when he has an amazing job, a gorgeous wife Leslie Mann , and a million-dollar mansion. That said, if you're in the mood for some blue comedy, you'll definitely get a kick out of Craig Bierko 's hilarious cameo as a soft-porn director. Now there's an actor who deserves a leading comedy role.

Families can talk about how the movie portrays sexuality. Which relationships are healthy, and which are unhealthy? How can you tell? What about drinking and drug use?

Are they shown realistically? What are some of the real-life consequences of getting drunk and smoking pot? Dave envies Mitch's carefree life, but is Mitch as fulfilled as Dave?

Sooner they learn more about themselves and also that the life of the other is not as good and they believe it could be. In Atlanta, Dave Lockwood and Mitch Planko have been best friends since they were kids, despite their divergent adult paths. Dave is the model of responsibility and over-achievement, he on the verge of making partner at the law firm where he works, despite largely disagreeing with his overly critical and opinionated direct boss, Flemming Steel.

He has been married to his childhood sweetheart Jamie for ten years, they who have three children, the two parenting them using every politically correct theory. Mitch is an untrained struggling actor. In his slacker lifestyle, he is usually stoned or in bed with one of his plethora of casual female sex partners.

But neither Dave or Mitch is truly happy, each wanting just a little of what the other has. Dave, while truly loves Jamie, secretly lusts after his newly hired associate, Sabrina McArdle, with who he has a professional "look but don't touch" attitude. Mitch sees Dave's life through the lens of the crazy uncle. He has a distant relationship with his own father, who loves his son but knows he could be so much more in his life.

Out drinking together one night, Dave and Mitch are magically switched into the other's body on a simultaneous and impromptu wish at a fountain for the other's life.

As they try to figure out how to switch back to their own life, they are both able to see their best friend's life from a different perspective, as well their own life through the eyes of someone else. Through it all, they both have mixed emotions about what is happening to them: they still want a little of what the other has with the mentality of who they truly are as people, while trying to protect the life they've built which the other may easily wipe out with one wrong move.

Sign In. Edit The Change-Up Mitch also had to learn how to be a dad, and a husband which is completely different from his usual raunchy lifestyle.

Eventually they began to miss their lives and went in search of the statue, but it had been moved. When at last they found it, it was in the center of a busy mall they had to act quickly before the authorities pounced and so they did what they had to do, but sadly nothing happened.

They remained in each other's body. They did not switch until there was a selfless act of Mitch in Dave's body where he confessed the truth of the initial switch, and also when they began to miss their lives. Best part of story, including ending: It is often said that we should be careful what we ask for Mitch and Dave's antics in each others bodies made this movie worthy of display in the comedy genre.

Best scene in story: It is always good to see a character grow. Mitch who is known as the joker actually developed a sense of responsibility and took the time to do the work necessary to secure the contract.

This scene truly shows positive development of his character. Opinion about the main character: Dave was bit too uptight and he was also a snob. He was also too busy to spend quality time with his family. At times it seemed like he was too busy even for himself. In a magical event, where their wishes are granted, the main characters of Mitch Planko played by Ryan Reynolds and Dave Lockwood played by Jason Bateman change places.

After urinating in a fountain at the same time during a drunken night out and wishing they could be the other man, the next morning they each find themselves in the body of the other man.

Mitch is a play-boy actor, always taking new girls to bed. Dave on the other hand, is a married family man with kids and very conservative successful lawyer at a big law firm. They try to go back to the place where the switch happened to re-create the experience in order to get back into their original bodies, but the fountain they peed in, is moved and it will take them a short time to figure out where it is located.
