Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds are stepping into each other’s skin for the David Dobkin directed comedy Change Up. From THR:

Written by "Hangover" scribes Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, "Change-Up" is the latest entry into Hollywood’s long line of body-switching movies. This one is a male-centric take on the genre, centering on a responsible family man (Bateman) who switches bodies with his best friend, a lazy man-child (Reynolds).

Sooooo it’s like The Odd Couple if Felix and Oscar switched bodies? Genius! I bet Bateman’s character will wake up in Reynolds’s messy apartment and be like totally, "WTF?!" He can’t possibly cook a sensible breakfast with only Captain Crunch and used condoms.

David Dobkin directed Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson to comedic gold in Wedding Crashers, but that was a fairly unique concept, not a shriveled-up rehash from the 80s. They may as well also work a talking dog in there to really round it out. I’m sure Joan Cusack is available.
