The Switch
Kassie is a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s objections, decides it’s time to have a baby – even if it means doing it herself… with a little help from a charming sperm donor. But, unbeknownst to her, Kassie’s plans go awry because of a last-minute switch that isn’t discovered until seven years later… when Wally gets acquainted with Kassie’s cute, though slightly neurotic, son.
Critics Sentiment
Kassie returns with Sebastian and introduces him to Wally
Wally sinks into depression after Kassie leaves
The film jumps from its lowest point during Wally's depression to its highest when Sebastian is introduced, gaining 2.6 points as the father-son dynamic becomes the movie's strongest element.
The Switch starts strong with witty dialogue and a clever premise but sags significantly in the middle section. The film finds its footing again through the acclaimed father-son relationship between Wally and Sebastian, though the romantic elements remain predictable and rushed throughout.
