The red-band trailer and poster just hit for The Change-Up, which comes from Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin (don’t tell anyone he directed Fred Claus) and The Hangover writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (don’t tell anyone they wrote Four Christmases and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past). It stars Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds as two buds who mysteriously switch bodies while peeing together in a magical fountain one night. Under the circumstances, I would’ve called it Body Swap Piss Fountain, but Hot Tub Time Machine bombed, so what do I know. Anyway, Bateman plays a boring handsome married dude, while Reynolds plays a handsome exciting womanizer. They switch bodies, and wouldn’t you know it, discover that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. The trailer is distinguished by its multiple poop scenes.
Poor Leslie Mann. Remember when she was all constipated in Knocked Up? First Paul Rudd, now Jason Bateman — it’s like she’s always playing a chick who’s married to super nice guys, but can’t have sex with them because she’s always pooping.

That doesn’t look half as awful as it sounds…
Looks like it’s set up to cockblock Baby Goose’s “Crazy, Stupid, Love”; Deep Impact/Armageddon style.

This is a lot like my life in that I hang out near fountains with my dick out until I end up with some other dude in me.
I would love to switch bodies with Jason Bateman just so i could peek in on his sister in the shower.
Change-Up looks like a Sinker.
I too have taint freckles. Don’t ask me how I know.
I guess the Ghostbusters were right.
that movie looks like a total piece of shit. seriously.
This whole orange/blue complementary color scheme that Michael Bay movies popularized has gotten way the fuck out of hand. The title sequence, the poster, Ryan Reynolds’ apartment walls, the lighting in the bar, their wardrobes during the fountain pissing scene…
Also, somebody tell Olivia Wilde that “WACC” (weighted average cost of capital) is pronounced “whack” not W-A-C-C.
So who am I supposed to yell “TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT!” at?
I’m so confused.

If Ryan Reynolds can change… and Jason Bateman can change… then everyone can change!

Before Vince gets all beligerent and sh*t about not controlling the ad content on the page let me say that I do already understand that. However, it’s still funny as hell to see Fa5t FiVe in the banner ad on effing FilmDrunk.
New pup.
