About
If you like fast, raunchy body-swap comedies with a warm streak, you’ll likely enjoy The Change-Up; Not for you if crude humor and bathroom jokes turn you off, or if you only want something like The Hangover Part II.
Pros: belly-laugh comedy; charming lead chemistry; surprisingly heartfelt moments | Cons: crude, vulgar humor; some scenes feel excessive; familiar body-swap premise
