The Change-up - Trailer and Movie

Lots of people wish they were someone else - they see someone who looks wealthy and sophisticated and think, I wish I was that person. Or it could be their own sibling, or what have you.

And there's been quite a few movies which deal with this premise. (Indeed, I think Thorne Smith's book, Turnabout, probably started the trend.

Turnabout (1931) Thorne Smith pits two thoroughly modern married people in a classic battle of the sexes. After listening to the nearly endless bickering and childish jealousy of a young man and wife (Tim and Sally Willows), an ancient Egyptian idol decides to play a trick on the two by causing them to switch bodies. After the wife impregnates her husband, things take a decided turn for the worse as they separately try to deal with the object of the former wife's affections — a deplorably predictable square jawed philanderer by the name of Carl Bently. The scene in which Tim, trapped in his wife's body, exacts an icy revenge on the unfortunate interloper is one of the unforgettable moments of Thorne Smith's peculiar humor.

Anyway, Freaky Friday was made by Disney in 1977, and remade in the 90s, about a mother and daughter who switch places. Then there was a movie with Kirk Cameron, I believe, that had a son and father change places.

Well, now there's a movie in which two grown men change places - one is single and apparently can get any woman he wants, the other is married and can get constant sex with his wife.

So the trailer shows the set-up - two grown men urinating into a fountain. Thankfully their backs are to us.

It's interesting that men don't think much of public urination. "When you gotta go you gotta go." It's also somewhat animalistic - they are "marking their territory." And of course if they live in areas that get snow, apparently trying to write their name in urine in snow is a popular past-time.

And what does the poster tell young men? Get married - you have to deal with diapers and squealing children and there are just nooooo rewards in that , and if you're single not only can you get two women, but you can get them at the same time.

That's not what our youth need to see, at a time when most children are born out of wedlock, fathers are absent, mothers live on welfare, and statistics show that such children have more psychological problems than do those born into a stable family environment. (Yes, there are always exceptions, but overall....)
