this overlong and overly obvious movie has little flow to it, no comic momentum to take us to the ending we see coming pretty much right at the beginning
this comedy - unlike so many - feels like it has a reason for existing: giving good, guilty fun while sometimes casting a cool eye on what it means to be a man these days
it's hard not to be disappointed with "The Change-Up," which in the end follows the basic conventions of the switched-identity genre, if more profanely, changing up not much at all
