Silly little body switch movie where Bateman and Reynolds are pissing in a fountain, complaining about their lives, and voila, they wake up the next morning in each others bodies. That's about the extent of an explanation the movie offers, relying instead on the obvious comedic setups and the general charm of it's leads to carry a pretty thin script.
But I thought the movie was funny, and when it came time for the sappy third act where they both realize they want their bodies back, I was drawn in, what can I say.
The pace is good, the high comedy spots are really good, and the film stays funny enough all the way through that it's more than worth watching, dumb plot and all. There's also some nice titty and ass and general sexiness although Olivia Wilde is underused and even worse is obviously body doubled out in a big scene which was irritating, but whatever.
The Chang Up is no 90 mph fastball but it's in the strike zone.
