Storyline Growing up together, Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they've slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch's stress-free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true. Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave's worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies and proceed to freak out. Despite the freedom from their normal routines and habits, the guys soon discover that each other's lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed. Further complicating matters are Dave's sexy legal associate...

Out of all the reviews I read it seems that no one enjoys a good R
rated comedy anymore. What happened to the days when everyone kept it
simple. This movie made me laugh a lot from start to end. There was a
lot of harsh language in this movie BUT! it was done very well. So many
funny parts in the movie. I did not find myself bored at anytime in
this film. I watched this movie in the hopes to enjoy myself and laugh
till my sides hurt and it did just that. One of the better R rated
profane comedies I've seen in the last few years. So many comedies have
came out rated PG-13 the last few years and many of them was just plain
dull.
If you enjoy adult humor this is a movie you will like. This movie IS
NOT for children lol.
If you do not enjoy adult humor why are you here? Don't review or even
rate it ffs go back and watch smurfs or whatever.
