(It’s very possibly I’ve had too much coffee this morning.)
Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman are set to star in a movie of the ever-popular body-swap genre called Change Up, to be directed by Wedding Crashers‘ David Dobkin.
The project, written by “Wedding Crashers” and “The Hangover” writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, is basically “a responsible guy with a wife gets swapped with his best friend, a lazy man child.” [ThePlaylist]
It sounds great when you say it like that. Not as great when you say “a body swap comedy from the writers of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and Four Christmases, and the director of Fred Claus,” which, sadly, is also true. Fred Claus has been on cable a lot recently. Check it out if you ever want to see a CGI elf version of Ludacris rap. So yeah, hope for the Wedding Crashers/Hangover version of this creative team, but don’t hold your breath. And I don’t know about you, but if I switched bodies with Ryan Reynolds, the first thing I’d probably do is try to jizz on my own washboard abs. What? Don’t act like I’m the only straight guy here who’s thought about it. Oh right, I’m the weird one, whatever, you guys.

Looks like someone is getting a new desktop background! Goodbye, favorite Dilbert strip. Helloooooooo… whatever the hell that thing is.
i’d be more interested in a change up comedy with Nathan Bedford Forrest and Jesse Jackson
^^^may be too offensive, please remove it if necessary
I’d go sleep with a dirty hooker so he’d have something to enjoy when we got switched back.
That’s #1 for the day, a little early too!
No worries, I’ll just go ahead and get the cookie ready… chocolate chip OK with everyone?
Obligatory comment about how much I want to make babies with Ryan Reynolds.
Aaaaanyway, I assume he’s playing the “lazy man child?” Bullshit. No lazy man child on earth looks like that.
So, now we have to watch Jason Bateman in a box for 90 minutes?
They had a different baseball metaphor lined up for the title, but had to reconsider after analyzing both men’s penises and discovering them to be perfectly straight.
Too bad, ‘Hanging Curve’ would have worked so well.
Whatever Patty, I’m lazy and I look like that… *cough*
“Change Up” is a baseball metaphor? I did not know that.
Not because I’m a girl. Because baseball is boring.
I’m just saying, the lazy man children I’ve known are less Ryan Reynolds and more Kevin Smith.
I once switched bodies with my lazy, man-child friend just so I could vote twice.
First thing I’d do in Ryan Reynolds’ body is call ScarJo and tell her the film was now titled “Spitball”.
I was a Hungry Man child. Whatever it is they put in their Salisbury Steak dinners* made it delicious!
*sodium… lots and lots of sodium.
Lazy man children have to sew 2 snuggies together to be comfortable.
Lazy children of men refuse to be conceived, forcing a crappy movie to be made about it.
Gay friends tell me getting into another man’s body is easy part. It’s coming out that’s most difficult.
Nah Confucius, it’s the awkward silence after that is the worst.
DUDLEY MOORE AND KIRK CAMERON OR GTFO
Or so I hear… damn it.
I would be wondering what all these weird bumps are on my stomach
The shock ending is that it bombs at the box office. Then the studio learns the movie was set in 2010 and no one gives a shit about body swap movies.
The original title was also going to be a baseball metaphor; ‘Switch Hitter”
*glances at Clay Aiken portrait*
It could have been you
Ryan Reynolds swapping bodies with Lindsay Lohan… now THERE’S a movie I’d go watch. Why are you all looking at me like that?
I’d be more interested if it was a body fluid swap.
Lindsay can’t work right now. She’s too busy
being a trainwrecksuing E-Trade.I went to a body swap meet once. They were selling brownies at this one table. I asked if they had anything older than girl scouts, so they pointed me to the walk-in freezer at the back of the convention hall.
Elrond Up!
