This might have worked better as a television episode or a short film, but as a feature, it's merely another one of those overly-long films where the audience must wait around in silence for the same conclusion we've seen countless times.

Bateman and Aniston are fine but don't have any real chemistry together, whilst the direction is flat and rather uninteresting. It has the occasional good moment, but "The Switch" fails to push any buttons. Or, indeed, pull any switches.

Sorry tabloid readers. At no time does Jennifer 'Womb Watch' Aniston growl, "Take that, Brad."

A misjudged lightness of tone and a predictable structure neuter the neuroticism and strange maliciousness of this Jennifer Aniston/Jason Bateman rom-com.

The comedy itself suffers from awkward scheduling. Though this isn't its only wrinkle.

There's much to enjoy, if not quite enough to disguise the film's essential awkwardness in trying to cover too many bases.

It's not a bad film, really, just sort of average. But Bateman is so good in it -- natural, funny, yet full of real emotion -- that you immediately want to see him again in a better film.

There aren't enough surprises to justify the title, but The Switch produces sufficient light for a late-summer diversion.

A conventional yet entertaining romantic comedy...

Despite a strong cast and technical specs, The Switch remains another easily disposable entertainment built out of the rubble of a promising literary prospect.

You have to overlook a whole lot of guff in order to enjoy the slight but pleasurable entertainment of The Switch.

despite a novel plot device, The Switch is a disappointingly formulaic film and at times quite soulless.
