What happens

The Switch is a 2010 American romantic comedy film directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon. Based on a screenplay written by Allan Loeb, the film, formerly titled The Baster, was inspired by the short story "Baster" by Jeffrey Eugenides. This was originally published in The New Yorker in 1996. The film stars Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, and Thomas Robinson; Patrick Wilson, Juliette Lewis, and Jeff Goldblum appear in supporting roles. Filming began and took place in 2009. Upon its release, The Switch received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its premise and the performances of its cast, but felt that the plot was formulaic. This was the final film produced by Miramax Films during the Disney ownership before Disney sold Miramax to Filmyard Holdings on December 3, 2010. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
