Résumés(1)
Quand ils étaient enfants, Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) et Dave (Jason Bateman) étaient deux copains inséparables, mais au fil des années leurs chemins ont petit à petit divergé. Dave est un brillant avocat, dévoué à son travail, à sa femme et à leurs trois enfants, alors que Mitch est toujours célibataire, tourne sporadiquement dans des films minables et fuit la moindre responsabilité comme la peste. Pour Mitch, la vie de Dave est un rêve : il a une femme délicieuse (Leslie Mann), des enfants qui l'adorent et il gagne grassement sa vie au sein d'un prestigieux cabinet d'avocats. Quant à Dave, la vie de Mitch, dénuée d'obligations et de stress, le tenterait volontiers. À l'issue d'une nuit de débauche, l'impossible va se produire : Dave se réveille dans la peau de Mitch, et vice-versa. (Universal International FR)

At the beginning, I didn’t really get the humor. Every now and then somebody shat themselves, and then somebody else threw up. But it wasn’t too funny, it would rather make you feel sick if you were eating, which now that I think of it I was. But then the body-swap happened and the whole thing changed somewhat. Sex with a woman in the 9th month of her pregnancy, or kids playing with knives and electricity. This movie is really unorthodox, but if you adapt and get through the first half an hour, it will end on a rather pleasant note. I wouldn’t have believed I would finish watching it, but in the end some scenes sure were worth it.

A classic extra-corporeal experience with a frequent and almost unbelievably bizarre humor goes by surprisingly quickly and thanks to the Reynolds/Bateman acting duo, it works in principle. But the humor ranges from shit in the face thru licking fake tits to seriously good jokes that will have you rolling in the aisles, and so it all seems a bit inconsistent. The real trump card here is Olivia Wilde in the position every "full-blooded" guy would like to have her. A decent, bite-size snack.
