despite a novel plot device , the switch is a disappointingly formulaic film and at times quite soulless .

the switch ,
the very dry romantic comedy starring jennifer aniston and jason bateman , is what you might call a bate - and - switch affair . more his journey than hers , more satire than slapstick , the film is that rare example of rom - com about men , which turns out to be a nice switch indeed .

despite a strong cast and technical specs , the switch remains another easily disposable entertainment built out of the rubble of a promising literary prospect .
the production of the film , and the marketing of it , turned into sort of a meta experience for skyler and the crew of wildcats she had to help her , such as film students hannah sweet and alex zhao , who helped primarily with the marketing aspects : promoting the film on social media , helping assemble miniature promotional cardboard brillo boxes and learning about how a filmmaker ' s process doesn ' t end when the film is finished .

that sort of critical reception , and a summary rejection from the sundance film festival , should have seen birdemic shelved and forgotten about by everyone except the poor , benighted souls who worked on the film . but nguyen , who has cheerfully admitted that he
never went to film school
, refused to be beaten by the simple fact he had made a terrible , appalling movie .
the film on lamotta ' s life was adapted from his 1970 memoir

the switch
has many of the same virtues of 2002 ' s

with hugh grant excellent in a similar role . the film also plays with the difficulties of late - entry fatherhood that

in late 2009 a successful campaign was launched by jon morter and his wife tracy to promote an alternative to the omnipresent x - factor winner being the christmas # 1 in the uk singles chart . the track they nominated as the alternative was “killing in the name” by rage against the machine . the band supported the campaign , donated the proceeds from the sales to charity and lead singer zack de la rocha promised that rage against the machine would perform a free concert in the uk to celebrate the achievement . this went ahead in london’s finsbury park on 6th june 2010 and it is that fiery set that is captured on this film .

drucker starred in nickelodeon’s series every witch way and was most recently seen in the film barely lethal with hailee steinfeld . he’s repped by industry , coast to coast and myman abel .
bateman and aniston are fine but don ' t have any real chemistry together , whilst the direction is flat and rather uninteresting . it has the occasional good moment , but

as it happens , just how to end the film was much debated by those more directly involved . one of these was scorsese ' s psychiatric adviser , professor james gilligan of new york university . on a visit to the location where most of the film was shot , the now - abandoned medfield state hospital in massachusetts , i asked the professor what was really supposed to be happening . his answer was clear cut .

more interesting than your average rom - com . this kind of movie is normally expected to focus on the female character ' s traumas and travails , but aniston ' s kassie is more like the sidekick or enabler for wally ' s long and angst - ridden voyage of self - discovery , which begins with him exiling himself to the role of her gay best friend .

the switch
is the collected works of preston sturges and ernst lubitsch , but that ' s not a fair standard of comparison . taken on its own terms , it ' s a light , sweet , curiously enjoyable misfit romance , whose real star is not aniston but her magnificently awkward lothario , jason bateman .

ultimately , disney agreed to distribute the title for a fee through its touchstone label . sources claim that the studio promised the
switch
team it would give the movie the same level of support that helped turn sandra bullock ' s romantic comedy

into a hit last summer but that disney ' s ad buy ultimately fell short of that mark . there was even talk that aniston confronted disney marketing head m . t . carney about the issue .
given the origin of
the switch ,
a short story called
baster
by jeffrey eugenides , author of
middlesex
and a master at mental contortions and relationship confusions , wally ' s emotional slings and arrows cause just as much damage to him as anyone around him . and screenwriter allan loeb stays true to that same dysfunctional spirit .
given the title of the movie , i don ' t think that qualifies as a spoiler . anyway , most of

bateman ' s comic wiles are considerable , his ironic inflections deadly — and his ability to turn off a good portion of any audience , undeniable . he is not an actor who cares much about being liked .
the film had a lot of different beginnings ,
she says .
because we had this photo in our family album [ of me with the brillo box ] and it was always kind of a mystery . ' how did we get this warhol ? what was the role this had in our family ? '
for the film , skyler interviewed everyone from her parents to museum curators to artist peter young ( the artist behind the piece skyler ' s parents traded their brillo box for ) , who lives over in bisbee . hearing all of these perspectives on the same object makes you feel like you ' re looking at the brillo box through a kaleidoscope : this story definitely has more than six sides .

in 2010 , skyler ' s mom told her to check out the christie ' s catalogue , and there it was : the same yellow box that skyler ' s parents had perched her atop for photo opportunities as a baby . skyler was sure it was the same one because a ) warhol had produced mostly large white brillo boxes ( the yellow ones were much more rare ) , and b ) because , at her father ' s behest ( he wanted there to be evidence that the piece was an authentic warhol ) , warhol had signed the bottom of her family ' s brillo box in red crayon .

perhaps we can guess . according to gilligan ,
martin scorsese said this film will make double the income because people will have to see it a second time to understand what happened the first time .
so marty at least may have known what he was doing . shutter island has already become his highest - grossing picture to date .
from the desk in her office , where the group of filmmakers is gathered , skyler is beaming . to her , what makes art appealing is exactly what you see in it for yourself , whether it ' s a cardboard brillo box , a wooden warhol reproduction , a film about both or even a miniature promotional reproduction of a reproduction .
here she moves through the film effortlessly adjusting kassie ' s emotional colors , slipping into friend , girlfriend and mommy mode as needed , reminding us just how good she was at sharing center stage in
friends .
( it also makes it easier to forget about the spring fiasco of
the bounty hunter
and last year ' s
love happens .
)
shutter island is no impenetrable art - house enigma : it ' s an old - fashioned noirish thriller that ends with a massive plot twist . as such , you might have thought it would have been easy to understand . in fact , since the film was released in march , the blogosphere ' s been awash with debate about what actually happens in the final scene .
when i heard about the switch , a romantic comedy starring jennifer aniston as a manhattan singleton who decides to get pregnant on her own , i confess that i had no desire to see it . i’d already been through jennifer lopez in the back - up plan , and frankly , one screwball sperm - donor chick flick per year seemed more than enough . but the switch is a pleasant surprise . it’s a by - the - numbers movie , but the dots that get connected feel new . aniston , playing a forward - thinking lonely girl , is at her most sexy and charming — and no , i’m not saying that to be nice , i’m saying it because she’s sexy and charming , dammit . why all the internet brickbats toward this woman ? sure , a lot of her movies ( such as the bounty hunter ) are crap , but that has more to do with the current state of romantic comedy than it does with her willowy and buoyant middle - class appeal .
; however , all four landed on the top of the chart . leading the was way
the icelandic drama “under the tree” has its finger on the pulse of today’s irrational times .
the news of the day as interpreted in the work of our award - winning cartoonists .
it ' s unclear if the five survived the sinking or never got on the boat .
this debate shows some signs of being rekindled : growing understanding of brain physiology is reawakening interest in tinkering with its workings . gilligan , however , is firmly opposed to this trend , and keen to see psychosocial treatments defended . shutter island the book shows such a treatment failing . the film , according to gilligan , shows it succeeding , at least in dispelling delusion .
a second look at the film suggests that gilligan ' s reading must be right . in his final murmurings , dicaprio is clearly trying to act as if he ' s acting . after uttering that last line , he leaps up and strides purposefully into the midst of the waiting lobotomists ; they don ' t have to jump him . so why all the mystery ? why weren ' t things just made a little bit clearer ?
july started out rather well , and while there was a little weakness in the end , four films surpassed $ 100 million , and another could join them soon . that said , there don ' t appear to be any $ 100 million movies opening in august ; in fact , there is a chance none will come close . worse still , august of last year saw three $ 100 million movies open in the first three weeks . there ' s almost no chance that will happen this year , so 2010 will likely lose ground to 2009 in the yearly box office race . more . . .
these two versions of what the film means could hardly be more at odds . yet scorsese hasn ' t chosen to indicate which is the right one . nor has dicaprio . perhaps the latter isn ' t sure himself . he found his role traumatising , and told an interviewer :
i remember saying to marty , ' i have no idea where i am or what i ' m doing . '

“live at finsbury park” captures an exuberant performance by the band with the audience cheering them all the way to the inevitable climax of “killing in the name . ”

the film ' s been described as faithful to the book , and many cinemagoers seem to have assumed that it ' s telling the same story . leonardo dicaprio ' s teddy does indeed turn out to be andrew . however , before he falls into the clutches of the lobotomists , he utters a line that isn ' t in the book .
this place makes me wonder ,

generating pre - release controversy between star - exec producer jennifer aniston and fox news’ bill o’reilly , artificial - insemination comedy “the switch ” turns out to have bigger problems than tv newsies . an unfunny , manipulative romance about two unlikable people and their prop of a son , the pic mangles the premise of its source material ( “baster , ” a 1996 short story by pulitzer - winning novelist jeffrey eugenides ) in ways that ought to baffle viewers of all sociopolitical stripes . thanks in part to the free publicity provided by o’reilly , the miramax release should do respectable business upon its aug . 20 release .
there are winsome touches in the switch , like the way that sebastian collects brand - new picture frames , so he can pretend that the models in the sample photos are his family members . and there’s some nice clowning from jeff goldblum , who delivers spaced - out nuggets of wisdom as wally’s faithful colleague . the romantic - triangle plot , however , is standard issue : wilson , looking more than ever like paul newman , does his jerk - lite variations , and bateman winds his way toward the big moment when he declares his feelings to aniston . fortunately , he’s not standing in the rain or running after her at an airport . so you can enjoy what happens without feeling too guilty about it in the morning . b

while a few lines of dialogue are taken verbatim from the eugenides story ( though wally’s opening voiceover , in which he muses , “look at us , always rushed , always late ; i guess that’s why they call it the human race” is most assuredly not ) , the source material provides only the first 15 minutes or so of screentime . the rest of the script ( by allan loeb ) has been invented wholesale . while eugenides’ story portrays wally’s switch as a twisted , almost rape - like violation , helmers josh gordon and will speck attempt to play it off as a charmingly bumbling folly ( and to further excuse it by making wally drunk at the time ) , imparting a sour feeling to all that follows .

nothing happens
is hardly a motto for movies today . but at the end of the second world war , when cinemas were packed , desire on the screen was fabulously ( and sometimes hysterically ) inflamed by self - denial , shyness and censorship . it ' s an open question , of course , but consider the possibility that movie romance , and its dream of desire , were stimulated by the various controls that blocked abandon . those devices include our innocence . in 1945 , there wasn ' t a hint of irony or parody in the film ' s pounding rachmaninov score ( the second piano concerto , played to the hilt by eileen joyce ) .
those predicting elsevier’s downfall had assumed scientists experimenting with sharing their work for free online could slowly outcompete elsevier’s titles by replacing them one at a time . in response , elsevier created a switch that fused maxwell’s thousands of tiny monopolies into one so large that , like a basic resource – say water , or power – it was impossible for universities to do without . pay , and the scientific lights stayed on , but refuse , and up to a quarter of the scientific literature would go dark at any one institution . it concentrated immense power in the hands of the largest publishers , and elsevier’s profits began another steep rise that would lead them into the billions by the 2010s . in 2015 , a financial times article anointed elsevier “the business the internet could not kill” .

today , the set - up begs for satire . but brief encounter has survived such threats , because it is so well made , because laura ' s voiceover narration is truly anguished and dreamy , because the music suckers all of us , and because celia johnson and trevor howard are perfect . i realise ,
perfect
seems dangerously prim and old - hat , an ultimate proof of hopeless gentility . but that ' s not fair . howard could be a wild man – as we know from his later work – and you feel recklessness and revolution as a wind tugging at him . as for celia johnson , it is due largely to her that the film is still so moving . her agony and her rapture stay interior , and they flip - flop like nerves in this beautiful , grave black - and - white movie . her voice is measured but the eyes are desperate . that she holds the film together is beyond doubt .
