A fun and not completely predictable Switch
This was a very fun and inventive "switch" movie. The 2 lead actresses delivered very solid performances in their roles. The script writing was excellent with zero dead spots in the entire film. The pace of the movie was outstanding, with no feeling that the action should move forward more quickly or that the pace should slow.
What sticks out in this movie is that the performance of the husbands was also enjoyable. Along with the sometimes "uncomfortable" and funny interactions between the switched women and the husband(s) that weren't their own. And the young girl/child's performance is spectacular*!
The movie ends with some useful thoughts about the importance of what is done as a parent, both long-term and in the moment. As a husband who has children, I found this to be very funny and sometimes cringeworthy in an enjoyable way. Overall, every character brings something useful to this movie, and it has become one that I watch each year.
