The Switch

The Switch

Neurotic, self-absorbed and pessimistic Wally Mars' (Jason Bateman) financial success with New York stock trading partner Leonard (Jeff Goldblum) does little to shake his fundamentally gloomy perspective on the world.

The one bright spot is his best friend Kassie (Jennifer Aniston), beautiful and funny, who, unfortunately for Wally, is content being just friends. When Kassie, in her early 40s and single, announces that she wants to have a baby and doesn't plan to let the lack of a husband or boyfriend stand in the way, Wally is bursting with anticipation at what he expects to be asked. Then Kassie lowers the boom - she wants him to help her find Mr. Perfect Sperm Donor, not be Mr. Perfect Sperm Donor.

Before long, Kassie finds the perfect donor in the form of charming, Nordic-looking Roland (Patrick Wilson). At Kassie's "insemination party", thrown by her best friend Debbie (Juliette Lewis), Wally makes what is surely a life-changing switch, then passes out and remembers nothing.

Kassie's plan moves right along - she becomes pregnant and happily moves back home to Minnesota to raise her baby.

Seven years later she moves back to New York, and Wally, still neurotic and still single, gets acquainted with Kassie's precocious- though slightly neurotic - son, Sebastian (Thomas Robinson). The two hit it off, and as Wally starts spending more time with Sebastian, he becomes convinced that the boy is his son...
