The
Switch - Film Review
The well-saturated blurb for
The Switch
asserts that the film comes “From the people who brought you
Juno and Little Miss Sunshine.” Unmarried Kassie Larson (Jennifer
Aniston),
a career-oriented, NYC television producer, is desperate to have
a baby because she hears her biological clock ticking. She
reflexively rejects the offer of her BFF Wally (Bateman) to
serve as the sperm donor because he’s a hypochondriac, and she
doesn’t want a child carrying DNA with the same traits. |
