August 21.I really hate Jennifer Aniston movies, but I didn't hate "The Switch." Probably because even though she got top billing the movie was really Jason Bateman's.
I don't think this comedy made much money and I'm sure the critics hated it, but I thought it was funny and cute.
The premise is pretty simple, if not a little out there. Kassie (Aniston) and Murray (Bateman) are friends, and when she decides to have a baby on her own with the help of a sperm donor he gets drunk and dumps the sperm replacing it with his own. He doesn't remember doing that and they both go on (her back home in Minnesota and him in New York) living as if she had what she calls a seed baby. But, after seven years they meet up again, with her son, Sebastian, in the mix and there is no denying her son is also Wally's.
The story is more about the relationship between Wally and Sebastian, and it is a sweet one. There were also great supporting performances by Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis.
