The Switch (2010)
Directed by Will Speck
Kassie is a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s objections, decides it’s time to have a baby – even if it means doing it herself… with a little help from a charming sperm donor. But, unbeknownst to her, Kassie’s plans go awry because of a last-minute switch that isn’t discovered until seven years later… when Wally gets acquainted with Kassie’s cute, though slightly neurotic, son.

What critics compared The Switch to
The script, by Allan Loeb ( 21 ) -- based on a short story by Jeffrey Eugenides ( The Virgin Suicides ) -- is hamfisted about tough, complicated things like loneliness and single motherhood.
Now they’re segueing to a more grounded comedy written by Allan Loeb (“21”) and based on a short story by Jeffrey Eugenides (“The Virgin Suicides”).
But the source material hints that there might be more to it than that; it's based on a short story by Jeffrey Eugenides, writer of The Virgin Suicides , a novel whose film adaptation was not exactly a laugh riot.
Based on the short story “The Baster” by Jeffrey Eugenides (“The Virgin Suicides”), the film tells the story of the friendship between successful New Yorkers Wally Mars (Jason Bateman) and Kassie Larson (Aniston).
