Geek of Oz

First let me stress that every single film that I see which stars Paul Rudd I am accompanied by a wife who considers Rudd to be husband #2. I get that. He's utterly charming, hilarious and quite handsome to boot. That said, I am in no way swayed in my opinions due to apparently sharing a wife with Paul Rudd. My opinions are my own. This is 40 is very much a sequel to Judd Apatow's earlier box office success, Knocked Up. However, instead of following the exploits of Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl (undoubtedly due to Heigl's now infamous claims of sexism from Apatow), the film follows Pete (Rudd) and Debbie (Mann) and their two daughters who are both played by Apatow and Mann's real-life kids. Pete and Debbie's lives are in a rut. He has a struggling business and mounting debt while she struggles with deep seeded insecurities from childhood trauma but in classic Apatow fashion, hilarity ensues.

The Change-Up is a body swapping buddy comedy from writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (The Hangover) and directed by David Dobkin (The Wedding Crashers). Aside from informing you that the film stars Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds, there's not much else you need to know. School yard buddies, Dave Lockwood (Bateman) and Mitch Planko (Reynolds) are envious of each others lives. Dave is a successful yet overworked lawyer and father of three. Constantly on the go, he longs for the freedom available to Mitch through his unemployed, pot smoking lifestyle. They go on a big night out, grumbling about how they wish they could swap lives. They do this while peeing into a magical fountain then, badda-bing, badda-boom, they wake up in each others bodies.
