The Switch basically tells the story of a woman who desperately wants to have a baby and she plans to find the best donor possible. The donor is presented on a party where the woman's best male friend changes accidentally the sperm of the donor with his own. Time passes by and she returns with her son unleashing an innumerable amount of conflicts. It is the typical romantic comedy about a man in love with his best girl friend but she don't feel the same about him. The story is interesting, the plot is OK. It has some good moments of humor but the slow rhythm makes it a little boring. The cast is good, Jennifer Aniston is made for this type of movies, and makes a very good couple with Jason Bateman whose performance is quite convincing. Thomas Robinson, the kid in the role of Jennifer Aniston's son is also very good and has-very good chemistry with Bateman is quite interesting. Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis are convincing enough in their secondary roles as the friend of Bateman and Aniston respectively. In conclusion, The Switch is a romantic comedy intended more to women than to man but that doesn't mean that both can enjoy it.
