Exactly. American Pie also brought on a shitload of inferior flicks.

I thought it was average. I did laugh my ass off numerous times, but I have no desire to ever watch it again.
Oh, by the way, Olivia Wilde is FUCKING GORGEOUS!!!

I hated her look in Tron Legacy. She looks 1000x hotter in House

Yup and they look spectacular.
I've never really found Leslie Mann that attractive but I really dug her in this movie. It's amazing what some tit shots can do. Oh she shows her ass too. I guess it's possible she used a butt double but I don't think so. Her ass looks great too, although not as good as Olivia Wilde's, but if you see The Change Up you can compare both of them and make your own decision.
Frankly I was kinda suprised just how good Leslie Mann looked naked.
Oh snap. Now I've just been reading that Leslie Mann's boobs were fake. They were either prosthetic (a la Marky Mark's wang in Boogie Nights) or just flat out CGI. Olivia Wilde's nipples are briefly shown in The Change Up but those were definitely CGI. I heard an interview about that. I don't know...whether Leslie Mann's tits were real or not, they still looked really nice, so in the end what's the difference? If someday CGI becomes so convincing that we honestly can't tell the difference and that means that some super hot chicks that would never show the goods in real life end up showing the goods through CGI then I'm all for it.

Definitely a prosthetic or cgi on Leslie Mann's topless scene. They looked about twice the size of what she looks to have. Both my friend and I could tell right away, they just looked..off. Uncanny Valley type stuff. Olivia Wilde's cg nipples were a lot less jarring since it was just nipples, but she did look fantastic.

I remember thinkning about CGI nudity. They went this long without doing it, and I was thinking they weren't gonna go there, and was glad. Now, it's been done in at least two movies. I hope it's not a trend.

Yeah, the nudity from both Leslie Mann and Olivia Wilde nudity was faked:

First time I remember was season two of "Californication". Paula Marshall's nipples were CGI.

CGI nudity in Hippie Hippie Shake. Apparently Sienna Miller was unwilling or unable to grow some 60's era bush so a couple keystrokes here and a couple mouse moves there and suddenly she looks like a real hippie--bush and all.

Mitch and Dave, the characters played by Ryan Reynolds (a total sex-charged, slacker) and Jason Bateman (Partner-to-be in a law firm, father, provider, husband) change bodies while making a wish peeing in a water fountain. What follows in discovering the other person's life and bodily features is raunchy in spots, funny as well, but by the end, even with some character development focused more on Mitch than Dave, the script goes for the more predictable road to its conclusion. Probably worthy of a matinee or rental, but I enjoyed it, and Olivia Wilde has never looked so good in a movie.
One thing I will note is that I'm not a fan of the faux nudity that is being CGI's into films nowadays. This film feautures some of that for the Leslie Mann character, and a just smidge for Olivia Wilde's character.
I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.

Saw this Friday night and I liked it enough. Jason Bateman is always one of my favorite actors and even though I'm not big on Ryan Reynolds I didn't mind him in this. For whatever reason the movie felt a lot longer to me than it actually is. I thought it had a lot of funny moments (and some gross parts too) and was worth watching at least once.

Saw this Friday night. I'm a huge Reynolds fan but I have to say that Jason Bateman stole the show. I think this is the first time I've ever seen him play a character like he did. Watching him play the douchebag slacker was hilarious.
This will definitely be a Blu-Ray buy

I thought it was crass, gross fun that didn't pretend to be anything else.
Really, reviews for this movie are pointless. One quick view of the trailer tells you what kind of stupid comedy it's going to be, especially when the big shit joke is shown. I found most of the fun to be in the performances of Bateman and Reynolds. Bateman knocked it out of the park.
I do find the reviews rather amusing, though, because so many of them are alarmingly vitriolic. These same critics must have forgotten that Bridesmaids had an entire setpiece dedicated to shit jokes & that The Hangover was one extended exercise in misogyny, xenophobia, and homophobia.

Some funny bits to the movies, and a lot of over-the-top stupidity that wasn't funny and/or made no sense. There was a scene with Reynolds appearing in a Skinemax flick that was just dreadful.
Surprisingly, Bateman was the highlight. His scenes with the babies and in the law firm were the best of the movie.

She looked ok in Tron, but I agree she's incredibly hot on House.
I was expecting more raunch from the Change-Up after all the "It should be NC-17!" comments I read, the movie was kind of tame.
That said, considering how much critics hacked it up, it was better than expected - funny, enjoyable flick.
...that said it also has some of the worst cg I've ever seen.

I too was kind of surprised that it got an R rating.
I like Jason Bateman but I thought Extract, and this film as well were going to be really funny. Not so much.
The poop jokes were very predictable so there was not much to balance the gross with.
I cgi nudity was pretty noticable and a little jarring.
Overall though, it was kind of funny to see Jason Bateman act like a bad behaving guy for once, and Olivia Wilde looked really hot.
