Sweetie and I went to see “The Switch” with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman. It’s kind of a romantic comedy. Let me see, what’s it about? Kate (Anniston) is 40, single, childless. The only man in her life is Wally (Bateman) who plays her friend, except he loves her, but won’t tell her. Kate’s throws an insemination party. The donor and his wife show up (he needs the money) and the donor makes his donation. Before Kate can do the turkey baster thing Wally tosses the donor’s donation and substitutes his own (fantasizing about Diane Sawyer!!!). Kate doesn’t know that, goes ahead with the turkey baster and we move seven years later and you know that’s when we have more fun.

I’m just going to tell you that I would give this movie a rating of 1.5 stars out of 4. Aniston and Bateman have exactly zero chemistry together. She comes across as distracted and basically calls her performance in. He is small, mean, cruel, and pathetic. Jeff Goldblum is in the movie but I am not quite sure why.

The best part of this movie is the cute little boy played by Bryce Robinson,

and Juliette Lewis, whose character is Anniston’s fun, crazy, out of control, but keeps everything going, friend Debbie. She provides some much needed comic relief to this film. In fact, if you are going to see the movie, go see it for her performance. Everybody knows a Debbie. I know several. They are the people who make life interesting.
