‘The Change-Up’ funniest movie of the year

The first five minutes of ‘The Change-Up’ - a horrifying look into the world of late-night baby care, complete with one of the more grotesque poop shots ever captured on film, sums up the movie's bait-and-switch.

In most comedies, this scene would be the first step towards a descent into hell that only ‘Paul Blart: Mall Cop’ and Adam Sandler are capable of realising. In ‘The Change-Up’, it's a sequence that sets the bar as low as artistically possible, so stars Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds can obliterate expectations with equally raunchy, shocking and hilarious comedic stylings.
