Change Up Trailer: Is Lady Pooping the New Comedy Trend of the Summer?

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (25)

It’s got the right casting right, anyway, having Jason Bateman play opposite Ryan Reynolds (the good, non-action hero, wry and funny Ryan Reynolds). Deadpan vs. Wry. Comedy is all in the delivery, folks. And these two dudes know how to deliver a line, to my liking at least. In Change-Up, from Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin, and the writers behind The Hangover, Bateman is a married dude with a kid who hates his life; Reynolds is a single guy who gets laid a lot and hates his life. Lightning strikes, and the two switch bodies (and lives). R-rated raunchy humor, lady-pooping, and taint-freckles ensue. (It’s also this summer’s second comedy that plays up the lady pooping as a central gag, after Bridesmaids, which works it to hilarious effect).

I like the idea, since body-swap movies are typically targeted at family and children audiences, of turning one into an adult sex comedy. I mean, who doesn’t love the body-swap device? It’s silly and contrived, but hell if it doesn’t tap into the sophomoric, wish-fulfilment asshole in us all.

Give it up for the Change-Up trailer:

Please god, no more women pooping pleeeaaase. The worst part of Harold and Kumar. The only time it worked for me was in Knocked Up: "Well, now!"
Same actress, MUCH more subtle.

Hey Rowles, I’m not going to comment on this review because I’m keeping my powder dry for your review of Tyler Perry’s new film due out tomorrow.

I honestly am not sure if you are being sarcastic in this review.

Posted by: TWoP_Fan at April 20, 2011 7:57 PM

Oh my God nothing has made me laugh this much in MONTHS.

There's no way the movie can live up to that trailer. But thank you for showing it to me.

BAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA heeee...

*scrolls up to watch it again*

Who leaves the door open when going to the washroom???? Well, when people are around. That's so gross, boundaries people.

Reynolds needs a haircut, but looks funny.

Sooo much TMI. Close the door for the love of all that is holy and by the way, don't leave the baffroom door open less than a week after the wedding (I'm looking at you, Zorro).

I've been married for seven years and I still don't want to know.

Posted by: Meander at April 20, 2011 10:26 PM

your spouse doesn't count as people in this instance

Posted by: HappyGobo at April 20, 2011 11:21 PM

Also who goes to the toilet naked?

I may be focusing on the wrong things. Like Reynolds' hairstylist, seriously MAN BANGS???

Have you even been in a long term relationship before? You're lucky if an open door is the least of your concerns.

Posted by: Protoguy at April 21, 2011 1:35 AM

Hmm. This will end up being a Netflix Instant watch for me. Mostly pretty meh. I did smile wryly at the DickFro and Taint Freckles lines though.

And speaking as a middle aged man who has been in long term relationships, open door pooping and peeing isn't familiar, comfortable, or non-sexually intimate. It's just gross. Bathrooms have doors for a reason people. Use them.

Posted by: Groundloop at April 21, 2011 8:06 AM

Let's get this straight. Ladies don't poop! I've been married a really long time and I have never, Never, NEVER done that with the door open. Neither has Mr. Kirbyjay. What are we, animals?

Posted by: kirbyjay at April 21, 2011 8:12 AM

Pooping is just not funny to me at all. But the rest of it looks hilarious. LOVE dickfro. That is going to be my new word.

Posted by: Sarah at April 21, 2011 8:23 AM

I don't care what anyone says. This is going to be awesome for the first 85%, then it will suck shit for the last 15% as we learn that families complete everyone, single people are gross and shallow and want marriagekidsloveblahblahblahblah.

Posted by: Kballs at April 21, 2011 9:01 AM

If you want to shit with the door open, then you can do so in the barn with the rest of the filthy animals.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at April 21, 2011 10:00 AM

Hm. Been in a relationship for 6 years, lived with him for 4.

NEVER EVER SHIT WITH THE DOOR OPEN.

Fuck. I still run out of the bedroom at 8 am for the inevitable loud-morning-fart. I totally lay it on the cats.

Posted by: AlexaCastro at April 21, 2011 10:11 AM

This looks great, actually. Ryan Reynolds needs to never ever do that with his hair again though.

I hope they get the obligatory "I can prove it's me" with the wife thing out of the way early. It always seems ridiculous in these kinds of movies when they immediately decide not to even try and tell anyone.

Oh, and I totally rock the dickfro. I'm a very hairy man and if I shaved that area it would look out of place. You're welcome for the image.

Posted by: Paultera at April 21, 2011 11:06 AM

I was going to make some kind of comment on the trailer, pooping, and DickFros, but there's no way I could ever follow Paultera's comment. No way.

Privacy, pooping, showering, or otherwise, is a fantasy in my home (which is a small apartment). Close the door and the toddlers WILL find you and WILL break in. Not important enough to me to make a huge deal out of it - am too beaten down.

Posted by: samantha t at April 21, 2011 11:56 AM

When you've been with someone for a while and there is a lot of trust between you, some people tend to not close doors. Even if you don't like it one bit. And it makes you REALLY uncomfortable. So I've heard.

What I don't get is the baby poop on the face. Have these people EVER changed a freakin diaper?!?!? What's up with that?

Posted by: MissRos at April 21, 2011 1:05 PM

My nephew pissed in my sisters mouth once when he was about 3 months old.

That was hilarious.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at April 21, 2011 2:48 PM

kballs: I agree wholeheartedly. I'm betting this will be the hard R comedy of the summer that the Hangover 2 wants to be.

Posted by: TylerDFC at April 21, 2011 4:21 PM

Where the hell am I? This looks retarded beyond imagination.

Posted by: Thijs at April 21, 2011 6:15 PM

This definitely looks absolutely horrible, Thijs. Both the actors have a recent habit of being in truly awful comedies as well so I don't have any hope for it.

Geez, I usually have to listen to drunk frat guys to hear hilarious lines like "dickfro" and "taint freckles". Raunchy automatically equals clever and funny!
